Jammie Up With the Noras

The seemingly simple question of what we wear to bed reveals surprising insights into our personalities, cultural history, and family dynamics. From matching sets to mismatched comfort wear, our pajama preferences speak volumes about who we are.

Did you know the word "pajama" originated from Hindi? Or that in Western culture, pajamas were initially a status symbol demonstrating wealth and cleanliness? These comfy garments have a surprisingly rich history that we unpack with enthusiasm and personal anecdotes.

We share our contrasting sleepwear approaches - one of us exclusively wears coordinated matching sets while the other prefers oversized t-shirts paired with men's pajama pants (for the essential pockets!). This difference extends to when we change into pajamas - some of us switch early in the evening while others reserve them strictly for sleeping. We explore family traditions around matching Christmas pajamas and how these evolve as children grow up, wanting more independence in their sleepwear choices.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as we discuss surprising statistics (74% of people sleep in pajamas multiple times per week - what about the rest?), celebrity influence on pajama styles (thank you, Coco Chanel!), and practical concerns about different sleepwear options. Along the way, we try an unusual pink lemonade Kit Kat and share our weekly highs and lows, creating the intimate, conversational experience our listeners love.

Catching Up and Family Updates

Speaker 1 0:07

Hi, thanks for joining us today. It's Nora and Nora, welcome, welcome and welcome back to our Ukrainian listeners and to our German listeners as well. Our European presence is growing. Yeah, for those who tune in week after week, and those just stumbled upon us, we're happy you're here. We sure are. How's your week been? My week has been great.

Speaker 1 0:29

Mike got his license. What, hold the phone, stop it. I know it's been great. When was that? Saturday? What?

Speaker 1 0:39

I pulled him out of school a little early to take his driving test with the driving school, okay. And then a friend of mine said to call the DMV to try to get an appointment, which I never would have thought to do because it guides you to do it online. And I called and they had a 7.30 appointment on Saturday morning. So we took it. Wow, and then we were good to go. So it's been a great week. Has he been bebopping around? He's been bebopping. Oh my gosh, it's been very, very hopeful. Already, I feel exactly how I thought I would. So, just three days in, still relieved Relieved that I don't have as much driving. Our percentage is a little more even now. That's awesome and we have. Wow. Congrats, monique. Yeah, it was exciting, and we celebrated my dad's birthday on Sunday, so that was nice.

Speaker 1 1:27

A little fiesta over here. Oh, feliz cumpleaños. Si, si, and I, like you, I have some children on spring break, indeed, which is a weird feeling, isn't it? It's weird Some who have responsibility and some who are footloose and fancy free. Who have responsibility, and some who are footloose and fancy free. Well, I only have one who's footloose and fancy free. It's unnerving because it's part of the whole rhythm of your day, like he gets up first, and then the other ones, and then, so I'm a little bit thrown off, but it'll all change next week when he's at school and then the younger ones are home. Yeah, but I'm happy for him. I think he was ready for a break. He needed some sleep. We're renewing his passport today, and then we got to do a little shopping for A&P, and then you're headed out of here, right? Yeah, I'm going to visit my parents just for a few days, and then you're headed out of here.

World Happiness Report and Fashion Trends

Speaker 1 2:14

Yes, yes, a lot of moving parts. My oldest daughter is stuck here for soccer, but Mike is leaving, oh right, he's going to some pals. Yeah, to Florida, which will be nice. That's so nice. So it's just a lot of like I feel like I'm constantly checking my planner Same To see like what time, who, what, where. So I don't forget anything and I don't like that feeling. I don't like that either. But that's why I think I'm so excited to get to my parents' house in Florida, because I'm like there are no appointments. No, it's going to feel really nice to just be, especially after all your craziness. Yes, of the musical. Yeah, but so it'll be good. I'm looking forward to being there and seeing my parents and it'll be nice.

Speaker 1 2:58

Did you see the World Happiness Report came out? I didn't know someone. Wait a second, just the World Happiness Report. Before I ask all the questions. Go. Good news for Finland, which was rated number one. They always are. Yeah, denmark number two. Okay, iceland number three. So really, if you want to be happy, go somewhere cold.

Speaker 1 3:18

And then United States 24. Okay, boof, there's a lot of countries, I know, but they're like it went down. I'm a little worried about the United States. Our happiness. It's not what it used to be. I'm trying to find the article. I wonder. It's the weirdest thing because I didn't get. Oh, here it is the type. The article title is US once again hits new low in world happiness report. You know what it's so weird? I didn't get my survey. Did you vote? I did not. Who votes?

Speaker 1 3:48

The World Happiness Report is powered by data from Gallup, noting that the increasing number of people dining alone is one reason for declining well-being in the US. So Gallup is an organization. All they do is poll people. Okay, so they must send it out to a certain, like a selection of people. Can we pause right there?

Speaker 1 4:05

Sure, do you like to dine alone? I don't mind it. I don't mind it either. I don't. I kind of enjoy it, okay, yeah. No, I don't know what to say about me. Yeah, that doesn't bother me at all. Okay, I mean, I think if I purposely was like I'm going out by myself, if I was supposed to meet someone and they didn't show up and I ate alone, that may be different, but I also have a trend to share. Okay, well, let's tie a bow on this. Okay, I'm sorry that we're declining, I know, but I feel happy in my home.

Speaker 1 4:37

I feel like, if you feel sad, maybe look inward. My sister and I were talking about that, because there's a lot of things happening in the world right now that are that stress me out and make me feel sad and angry and all the negative emotions. So my sister and I were talking about how we really need to look in and just say, oh, rose got 100 on her spelling test. Hooray, that is a hooray. Mike got his driver's license, you know, looking very much in your inner world to just find the joy, yeah, so it's true, I agree.

Speaker 1 5:11

Do you have a trend? Yes, I think you're going to love it. Oh man, I wish our listeners could see it. It's a backless skirt. An apron yeah, yes, it's basically an apron. An apron yeah, yes, it's basically an apron.

Speaker 1 5:33

What kills me about this skirt not just that they're rumping you such that your butt is in full view is that it's so long, like it's super long, like it's gathering on the ground. This model has on an oversized blazer, which I'm assuming is to cover her bottom. Yeah, and then a super long skirt, but then this is a whole trend of cutouts and sheer is and things that just showing your whole body. That's like a fake chest shirt yeah, just sheer. Like a nylons, like a bodysuit of nylons over a bra and underpants. Is it half price because it's missing the entire other side? Well, it should be, but I don't. I would imagine that's pretty pricey, isn't that crazy? No, thanks, if I picked that up off the rack, I'd be like, oh no, it's damaged. It's called the bumster, like bumster trousers, bumster look, Of course it is, because it's all about your bum. Remember when crack was back? Crack was no, and the cutout booty yeah, it's a thing, it's insane. No one wants to see your butt no, anyone's butt. No, see your butt no, anyone's butt. No, I know I'm not showing it, yeah, now yours.

Speaker 1 6:48

I read a funny story, though, okay, about this crook. Oh, I love it. Did you hear about this? No, who shoplifted from Tiffany's some earrings in Florida? What? No, $770,000 worth of them they were? I think they were two pairs of diamond earrings.

Speaker 1 7:00

How, tell me how they did this? Well, he went to get away. I mean earrings. Tell me how they did this. Well, he went to get away, okay, and the police were after him, so he swallowed him. That's so horrible. And then, when he was being questioned, he's like I should have just thrown him out the window, Okay, but if I was on the lam, I don't think I'd swallow him. I probably wouldn't steal him to begin with. Those are going to come out. Yeah, they recover them.

Speaker 1 7:23

He said will I be charged for what's inside me or something? Bonkers, and there's a scan of him you can see oh no, hopefully they're half priced right? Oh God, those are just. That's an insurance. You charge that to insurance. Maybe it's like a half price Gently used. Oh no, don't swallow earrings, don't steal earrings. Don't steal earrings or anything. Oh, lordy, lordy, can I share a little something personal, uh-huh. So remember our good friend Carly, who told us all about olive tree people? Yes, who is an olive tree person? Yes. Who told us all about olive tree people? Yes, who is an olive tree person? Yes.

Personal Wellness and Product Favorites

So I use a couple of the products, but one of the things I use every day is the Camu Camu IO1. Yes, the ingestible, the ingestible one, and I'm a huge fan of this and I've been using it all like my kids have gotten. I should like knock wood. My kids, my husband, colds, flu all season and I swear to God, camu camu has kept me on the straight and narrow Because you haven't gotten anything and I feel a little tickle coming on. You know like you feel you're, like am I getting a cold? And I'm upping my dose of camu camu because I don't want to get sick before spring break.

Speaker 1 8:40

And you take it in the morning with orange juice. I take it just in the morning. I take it just in the morning with orange juice. Okay, I'm taking it, but you can take it three times a day. Okay, so I'm on a three times a day. You are a champ because you did it with no mixer, but you know what I've been trying, that I love their face tint. Oh, it's like a tinted moisturizer. Yes, it's out and she sent it to me. I took this test, yeah, online, or this is it a test? I don't know? Yeah, this, yeah, and it selected my face color. Okay, exactly, and I've been loving it because it's like smooth and like creamy but light.

Speaker 1 9:17

I'm a big fan. Yeah, I was thinking because I use, but wait, what's the personal thing? That was it. Oh, that's not your first, that's okay, I don know. Talking about when I'm drinking in the morning, that's okay. That's about as personal as it gets, I guess. And we should probably say we are not sponsored by. No, we're just fans, we're just fans. Yeah, are we olive tree people? I would like to say I am an olive tree person.

Speaker 1 9:41

Speaker 1 10:55

And now back to the show. I'm so excited about our topic today. I know cozy up Because we're talking about pajamas. We are talking about pajamas and I was excited because we're really dressed for the occasion. Actually, I was going to take off my little jacket, but I'm a little chilly without it. But you can't see us because it's a podcast. But we have. Are those your favorite pajamas? These are, yeah, I like these pajamas. These are my faves.

Speaker 1 11:21

I want to start off with a question. Okay, what do you call them? Pjs, pajamas, jam jams? I think I use all of them. I'll say get your pajamas on? Ooh, let's get in our jam jams. It depends, or I'll be like I got to get my PJs on. I use all of the words. Okay, it just depends. I'll just jam jams, jam jam. Yeah, strictly jam jams, strictly. Well, yes, strictly jam jams. I Strictly jammed. Well, yes, strictly jammed, strictly jammed. I'm all over the place Like D. All of the above? Okay, that's fine too. Are you matching or what else? Oh, I'm what else, you are what else?

Speaker 1 11:53

I like to wear a t-shirt, like a really soft t-shirt, and then pajama pants Like a loose, fitting top. Yeah, mostly this one's not too loose, because otherwise then I never wear T-shirts. I don't wear T-shirts. Yeah, that's the only time. Well, maybe for the musical I'll wear T-shirts, but that's when I wear T-shirts, like if I have a souvenir or something you know from a trip. Yes, or like this T-shirt is my favorite. What's the story about this T-shirt? Nora Taylor's wearing a Kit Kat shirt. This shirt, I realized, is like 20 years old, wow. Well, because it was meant to look it's a Kit Kat t-shirt. It says give me a break, kit Kat. And it's supposed to look kind of vintage, like I bought it and it was. That's why I really liked it 20 years ago. It's held up well.

Speaker 1 12:41

When I was working at the Ritz-Carlton in New York, kit Kat did a promotion Send in 12 proofs of purchase. Like you cut out the wrapper and we'll send you a shirt. And like you know the shipping and handling and we'll send you the Kit Kat shirt. I was like I love Kit Kats, they're my favorite candy. But I thought, oof, it's a lot of Kit Kats, yes. So I bought 12 Kit Kats. Yes, so I bought 12 Kit Kats and I passed them around the office and I said I need the wrapper medical place because I would like to get a t-shirt. And so everyone I worked with ate their Kit Kats, gave me back my wrappers. I sent in the wrappers and my check and then you got that bad boy and I got my Kit Kat shirt. I love it. I love this shirt.

Speaker 1 13:26

And yeah, a lot of my pajama shirts are like sentimental. Another favorite one I have is from when there was a hurricane in Hoboken. They sold t-shirts as a fundraiser, so it's Heel Hoboken t-shirt. Oh, that's nice, that's another one of my faves.

Speaker 1 13:41

But I like to buy pajama pants that are either a men's size. But I like to buy pajama pants that are either a men's size I like to buy them humongous and roll them, yeah or if they have a cord, I tie it. A cord, a string, a string, a belt. I buy like a men's large because I like them very baggy and I don't want my ankles to be exposed, because I want to be nice and warm. But then do they drag on the floor? No, because then I'll hike them up or roll them. It seems like a lot of work, but then it's not.

Speaker 1 14:09

I don't want to be tight in my pajamas. Am I tight? I don't think so. I'm fitted. Yours are darling. I like a set. You do, yeah, do you have any pajamas that don't match? I don't think so. Oh, that's commitment. Yeah, and I always get pajamas for Christmas from Ryan. Nice, like matching pajamas. How many pairs of matching pajamas do you think you have? Many, many, I don't know, like more than 10. Yeah, because all my pajamas match. It's really admirable.

Speaker 1 14:38

But then I don't like to hang out in my pajamas after I'm awake, like if I wake up. I don't like to lounge around in them. I'll stay in them for a while. I would like to put on my workout clothes right away, so that way I'm locked and loaded. But I will put them on early. So, especially in the winter, if it starts to get dark around, like 4, 430, jam jams, you jam it up, boom. So I will typically wear my little fleecy jacket to stay warm. Do you have like this is kind of? I have some robes that match my jam as you do not, I do like this pattern I have that I want to pull. Yeah, you're so put together, even in your sleep. Well, that's amazing. Not always in my sleep, because if it's 4 30 in the afternoon, oh, and I want to jammy up, then at least I'm like somewhat coordinated, because I'll usually drive the kids to school in my pajamas. I don't have to drive anybody, yeah. And then I'll come home and usually have another cup of tea and like get some work done in my jam jams.

Speaker 1 15:43

Jam jams Work out hopefully although I haven't done that in three weeks, oh my gosh. And then work out hopefully although I haven't done that in three weeks, oh my gosh and then exercise and then shower and then get dressed. But could you lounge in them all day? Yeah, I think, but that must be because I'm basically in a T-shirt and sweatpants, like some of the pajamas pants I wear are really light sweatpants. Well then, that's more just like loungewear. So then that's more just like loungewear. So then it's more. Yeah, so it's less.

All About Pajamas: Types and Preferences

Speaker 1 16:08

Maybe if I wore a set, I would be more inclined to change, because I was like oh, these are clearly pajamas. Yes, that's like I can't go out in these. If you saw me from my car in this, you'd be like oh, nora just looks like a slob, she's not in her pajamas, you're very nice. But if I couldn't go out in these? Because those are clearly pajamas. So maybe that's why I change right away. But they're cute, yeah, because then if I have to run out or run errands or but you have gone out in those before, oh, yes, if I get invited to a late night or to something where I'm already in my pajamas, I will oftentimes say yes and come in my pajamas, which I think is great because you look so cute, because they're matching. I don't think I could pull that off in what I'm wearing. Or I will invite you over and say I am already in my jam jams, but come on over. Yep, I love a pajama party.

Speaker 1 17:01

What about your kids? Do they wear matching jams? Kevin did for a while. They're all kind of getting out of it. Yeah, rose is starting to go to the pajama pants and t-shirt. I think because they have so many t-shirts that they are starting to go to the t-shirt and pajama pants route. My older t-shirt, john, still will wear a set, like a set. Even your older daughter Is she. But she will compliment my camp, right, I know, I just I feel like I missed the boat on that. Like for me to start to amass a coordinated pajama collection at this point. Oh yeah, I've built, you've built your collection. But also I like mine so oversized. Oh no, I like mine kind of fitted.

Speaker 1 17:48

Another question Do those have pockets? No, see, I'm out, I need pockets. Do you do? Yeah, for my chapstick or my pen? In case you get a thought, well, because I guess, because I'm wearing them in the morning, I like to have a pocket. That's why I think I buy men's pajama pants. They should put pockets in ladies' pants. Why are they not putting pockets in there? Because I bet the men don't use them as much as the women do. Why are they not putting pockets in there? Because I bet the men don't use them as much as the women do. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 18:15

Oh, did you ever do family jams? We do it for Christmas, you do, but I like these, the pants I have on right now. Me and Rose had red stripes, red and white stripes. The boys had green check pajama pants. And then I bought everybody a different Christmas t-shirt. Oh, nice, because it was kind of like Aiden's 15. Like I don't know if he really wants to be wearing magic, because the last time I did all matching, the sizes weren't quite right. Poor Aiden and Al were in like leggings. Al's funny. This is borderline inappropriate. Just do it for the picture. Hold Rose on your lap. It's like pictures from the waist up only. How about you? No, but I will order from they like the Vineyard Vines pants. Those are nice. So I'll get those coordinating and the shirts coordinating. Oh so, yeah, yeah, but not like the, so kind of similar to what I do a little bit. Yeah, I would put the girls in matching sets if they wanted to, but they don't want to.

Speaker 1 19:19

No, remember when we were kids and we would wear boxers? Yes, I wore them under my uniform skirt. Boxers yeah, it's kind of clunky. We weren't worried about our silhouette or your back set. You weren't. No, everyone wore boxers under their uniform skirt. Why? So you couldn't see our underpants? To be modest, well, you just put other underpants under them. Yeah, so you wore underpants and then boxers, men's underpants. And then, yeah, well, you would buy like a smaller, but then after school you could take your skirt off and we would wear them as shorts. Like they were shorts, got it? I think I still have one pair left.

Speaker 1 19:55

It was a weird trend To wear them under your uniform. To wear men's underwear yeah, yeah, it is kind of weird For women to wear men's underwear out, because, also, the fly was an issue. Like you know, it was a button, wasn't it Sometimes? Yeah, there was a button Every once in a while. There wasn't Hello, there wasn't Hello, but my sister and I had a lot of matching pajamas, which I loved. I imagine she did not.

Speaker 1 20:24

What about our kids these days going out looking like they're in their pajamas. I had a real moment with my 15-year-old. We were going to church and he had on gray sweatpants and a gray hoodie sweatshirt and I was like Aiden, put on a pair of pants, it's like it's fine, it's not fine. You look like a prisoner, like getting your exercise in the yard. I was like this is not okay, it's fine. I was like it's not, because I'm telling you it's not fine. Right, put on a pair of pants. I was like I'm going to turn a blind eye to the hoodie, but you have to have Put a pair of slacks on.

Speaker 1 20:57

Yes, I think it's crazy that the boys wear slippers. Oh, the boys and girls both wear slippers with their uniforms. Oh, do they with their uniforms? Yeah, oh, aiden wears like gym shoes. He does, okay, yeah, what kind of slippers are they wearing? They wear black. The boys wear black Uggs, and then the girls wear the black Moccasins. Oh, okay, is it Sperry? Does Sperry make a? We'll have to look, but I think it's a Sperry slipper. Okay, moccasin situation. I guess it's really comfortable. I guess Good for them. I feel like that really. But look at pickup. Okay, I got to look at their sheet.

Cultural History of Nightwear

Speaker 1 21:38

Nothing's better than a baby in their footie pajamas. Clean babies, clean babies in jammies, with the little onesie jammies, a little bit of Johnson Johnson lotion, like a lavender lavino lotion that was my fave. All snuggled up in their little baby hands, mm-hmm, oh, the best, the best, the best. I know I do miss that. They were so cute in their little jam jams. I do like snuggly clean babies.

Speaker 1 22:12

Do you know who patented the one-piece pajama? Isaac Butts, what? Okay, that's his last name, butts B-U-T-T-S. Isaac Butts. That's like the theme of our podcast, isaac Butts.

Speaker 1 22:28

Wait, I thought it started with Europeans. Well, that was the patent for, like the one-piece pajamas. Oh, with the peekaboo. Yes, yes, which is funny. But yes, they originated you're right in India. Okay, A hundred percent, because from the Hindi word Pai Jami. I'm sure we had the same research, because it'd be weird if we didn't. Yes, like what? No, I thought they originated in Germany. No, no, no, I read that too. Yeah, it was really fascinating. Good for India, good for India and good for Coco Chanel, because I think she revolutionized within the 20s that she'd be in her.

Speaker 1 23:06

It's kind of like you pajamas and pearls, Huh, look at you. Yeah, her pictures at home, yeah. And then all those like glamorous Hollywood stars in the 30s and 40s who the women would be photographed at their home in those like silk pajamas. I don't have any silk pajamas Neither. Oh well, I definitely don't. Maybe you should hit up a vintage shop. I would worry it'd be too slippery. Yes, yeah, like all like, if you were silk top, silk pants, you'd be like slide right off. You're worried about the safety. And then how do you wash those On? Gentle? Or do you have to dry clean those? I don't know. That seems like a real waste. Yeah, no, you know, I was looking at some stats on what people sleep in.

Speaker 1 23:48

They said 74% of people sleep in pajamas a few times per week, which had me thinking what about the rest? 21%? Nakey Pies, oh no, yeah, no, I still think that's a good idea. How often are they cleaning their sheets? Oh right, yeah, I just think. If there's a fire, oh boy, you're in big trouble. Or if your kids need you, yes, that would be scarring. Or if you have to get them to go to the bathroom. That's cold, that's, it's just. I don't get it. That's not a good idea.

Speaker 1 24:20

I not only sleep in gigantic pajama pants and a t-shirt. I keep my little like jacket at the foot of my bed so when I get up I can put it on right away. Oh, you don't. Yeah, yeah, no, I don't think that's clean, sanitary or safe. One of the things that when Western culture was kind of coming on to the whole idea of pajamas that at first pajamas showed your status and your wealth because you were clean, because you could afford other clothing to wear at bedtime that would keep your daytime clothes clean and fresh, and also that you were not contaminating your bed with your daytime clothing. Oh, so I'm glad they invented those Samesies.

Speaker 1 25:06

Hey, I got to ask you something. Oh sure, there's a treat sitting on our recording desk. There is. I was wondering if, all right, this is from my dad. You're going to tell us about it. I don't know if it's a treat or not, and it kind of works because I'm wearing a Kit Kat shirt. I thought maybe it had something to do with that. I love Kit Kats, yes, but I don't.

Speaker 1 25:24

This is a pink lemonade Kit Kat, full disclosure, artificially flavored. Is it white chocolate? It's whitish pink. And then it says crisp wafers in pink lemonade flavored cream. Is there any chocolate in there? I don't know this is right up my alley, but I told my dad we would try it. This is great, and he gave it to me weeks ago. Thanks, oh, even better. Oh, I can smell it.

Speaker 1 25:49

I thought this was going to be chocolate and pink lemonade, which I thought was a bad idea. I'm digging right in. Oh, and pink lemonade, which I thought was a bad idea. I'm digging right in. Oh God, I don't think I'm going to like that. Oh, I like this. This is good. It's actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's like a spring Kit Kat.

Kit Kat Taste Test and Weekly Highs & Lows

Speaker 1 26:05

When I'm in Florida. If I see more, I'll get them for you. Happy birthday. They're really good. Actually, this is not bad. It'd be nice with an iced tea. I thought it was going to be sour. Oh, I forgot I gave up treats for Lent. I did. That's why I dug right in.

Speaker 1 26:18

Okay, well, this was for work. Mm-hmm, wow. Thank you Dad. Thanks, mr Ryan. These were good. I thought it was going to be disgusting. What did he think of them? I don't think he tried it. He just he was like uh-uh, no way, because I was worried because I didn't have a glass of water. Oh gosh, where's your water today and your tea, I don't know. I know I'm all mixed in between. I know I'm okay, but shall we high and low? Oh yeah, let's go for it.

My house is a mess, nora. Why, that's my low closets. So I clean out Aiden's and then I clean out Rory's, but then when I do that I have piles for. So you do Aiden and Rory's. No, I had them do it and they made piles and then we would throw it together Stuff that I would save for Kevin, and I have this humongous pile of stuff for Kevin and I don't have time to clean Kevin's closet because I'm leaving. And so now I'm like, well, I'm just going to have to stay like this till I get home. I put that giant pile that Mike cleaned out his closet just in John's room. Yeah, it's just sitting in there. It's sitting in Kevin's room and in the hallway Ours was Mike's was in the hallway until I just moved it up.

My dad said something along the lines of is someone moving out? It's like I don't know, I hope not. Stay tuned. So it's like I don't know, I hope not, stay tuned. So it's a low of my own creation. But you know what it's gonna be a high. It'll be a high once you'll get there.

Speaker 1 27:39

Yeah, anyway, my low is my youngest is insisting that the word sucks isn't a bad word or a swear, and it is. It's just. You know what I called an ugly word like it's just like, yeah, so it's like you can say it. I was like I dare you to say it's your teacher, because then she'll tell you. And if his teacher is listening, sorry, I love his teacher. Same. I thought that'd be a safe space whenever you got to try it out. Yeah, it's a swear, I mean, I technically it's not, but it's just such an ugly word, it's just not something I'd want to hear coming out of that sweet face. Okay, it's harsh, it's gross. Yeah, yeah, it's not great. So that's my love. I'm sorry, thank you. What about your high?

My high was we were all able to celebrate my dad's birthday, yay. So he came in town on Sunday and we missed having my mom.

We're going to sit down, we're going to have dinner, we're just going to be together. I need that. And he was like okay, and it was exactly what I wanted. I'm so glad I love it.
