What lane are you in?

I was listening to a podcast (ha ha I feel like that all I say) and it categorized drinkers into lanes and I just loved it. Slow laneMiddle laneFast lane I am 100% a middle lane drinker. I’ve dabbled in the slow lane from time to time and I’ve been known to crawl into toContinue reading “What lane are you in?”

Very quick post

I put my Christmas tree without having a glass of wine 😀 I started a new podcast which is great. Just wanted to post it in case anyone needed some inspo. One year no bear podcast. I’ve started it from the beginning and it’s very inspiring 🧘‍♀️

Rock and roll!

I was invited to a birthday dinner tonight. I said yes initially but then at the beginning of this week I thought better of it.

Sex and the city – Day 9
