Good luck Mikala!

We are rooting for you!!

There was talk here a few weeks ago during the “Teen takeovers” downtown about a lack of third spaces in the city and this was one of the solutions the city proposed. Anyway, this looks like a good time, and there are other activities too so let the teens in your life know about it. And let’s have a great summer!

Which game? Where should we sit? Should we buy hot dogs? Eat dinner beforehand? Ride the QLine over? I want the whole event of it to be a good time!

They don’t particularly care about fireworks or giveaways so I think they could take it or leave with those aspects, we just want the whole experience to be fun.

Bringing some of their friends too so the pressure for a good time is high!

*I know, I know, I’ll never be THAT cool but I want to try!

My kids are home from college and have never been to Gigi’s. We were talking about drag shows and they said they should take me to one for Mother’s Day. I haven’t been to Gigi’s in ages but we (my friends and I) used to go there in our 20s. We always had a good time back then (granted, I didn’t go with my mother).

I’m still friends with the people I used to go to Gigi’s with. My kids babysit their little kids. If we went to Gigi’s, we would all go - me, my friends, my 18 year old kids, their friends.

I even was the designated driver for a friends birthday party while I was pregnant with the same twins who I would be taking! And Nikki Stevens was the MC then. Feels really full circle I guess!

Anyway, still a good time? Would this be too weird?

I like to listen to podcasts while I’m cleaning but I don’t want it to be engrossing or something that if I miss a few minutes I’m behind on the story.

My fave podcast is If Books Could Kill, but I have to pay attention to that one. I like that the guys are funny and I like that Michael Hobbes talks fast and is snarky.

The closest I have found to this mindlessness is the Caleb Hammer podcast - it’s just trashy enough to be interesting but it’s also unoriginal and so I don’t really care if I am vacuuming and miss parts.

I prefer mindless chatter over music in the background while I clean.
