genuinely so confused by this flavor profile. they could’ve done a tiramisu tres leche with vanilla sponge cake, soaked in an espresso blend, topped with mascarpone whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder.
espresso is a huge factor of tiramisu, chocolate is not
we moved to a nice townhouse with a beautiful backyard this past march. i have 3 raised flower beds and a few pots and such. i had various herbs and vegetables as well as a dwarf lemon tree and some flowers growing but by july, they all died because of the extensive heat. i want to try again this year and im hoping they’ll be strong enough by next summer to make it through the summer.
ETA: oh also idk which direction my garden faces but it gets quite a bit of sun for most of the day.
UPDATE: my backyard is north facing from my back door, and the garden bed is directly across from the back door
i feel like my new schools hours are absolutely insane and i think i’m going to find a new position for second semester. (not just because of that, but it’s in the cons list).
my schools hours are 8:00am-3:00pm but my contract hours are 7:25am-3:55pm….
idk if that’s crazy to anyone else but it irritates the heck out of me. especially because i do pickup line for my afternoon duty and its hot af and then i have to come in and do busy work in my classroom for 30 mins 😭
my old school hours were 7:50am-2:50, contract hours 7:25-3:15
so i watched the pro-shot and that was my first time seeing it and i decided not to consume anything beforehand. after watching and forming my thoughts, i come online and see people sharing their opinions and interpretations of the show and they’re stating them as fact.
the biggest one for me is that hades raped eurydice. this is an INTERPRETATION, this is not canon or fact. i also believe it was sexual coercion not just a casual conversation and signing paperwork but they didn’t say that so it’s not a fact.
musicals and beautiful poems and stories are always an interpretation thing. you can gather things that truly happened and use them to form your narrative and that’s correct, but passing your narrative off as fact is wrong.
ALSO, i don’t agree that “to love is to turn” because i think it’s a naive point, not looked at from a real relationship perspective. love is to trust. love is to believe. love is RISKY! love is to feel safe knowing they’re following you. orpheus loved eurydice but he didn’t love her enough to not turn.

ETA: yes, sorry i should’ve clarified. i’m trained in sexual assault awareness and prevention and we emphasize what something is instead of generically saying “sexual assault/rape”. when i say eurydice was sexually coerced into sex, its just more words for saying she was raped.
This is actually a photo from my venue and while our venue costs include my bouquet, aisle florals and centerpieces, this archway is an addon and an expensive one at that.
i don’t need it to be real flowers, although that’d be nice.
i not only got to meet hello kitty (she smelled like apples) but i also got the cutest universal exclusive backpack!
we’re going back in october so i hope she’s dressed in her cat costume because i have the same one 🩷
so my little sisters best friend/ roommate offered to do my hair last wednesday (july 1st) and i sent her these photos today to ask if she could redo the style or give me my money back, i paid her $50. she immediately gets defensive and says the hair is tangled and it’s not her fault i don’t know how to take care of my hair. but the issue isn’t the curls at the bottom, it’s my real hair frizzing up and peeking out at the top! it looks ridiculous. not
to mention the fake curls keep falling out and they were super expensive.
so am i aio for wanting my money back?
it’s so adorable! really happy with the coverage and how it fits on a curvy body! was also 60% off so i paid $25 for the set
Has anyone ever stayed at either of the Coast hotels? They’re recommended on universal’s website and both the website and tik tok claim they have free breakfast, parking, and a shuttle that takes you to the park but I don’t see that on their website. Just wondering before we decide to book with them.
the second I heard honeybee by Olivia Rodrigo I knew it was my entrance song. there's a part at the end, 2:15-2:41 that is absolutely perfect for a wedding party entry with me making my entrance at 2:42!
the only thing I'm struggling with is timing. we have an even 3 and 3 party, and they'll be walking in pairs. no flower girl or anything. this is the rough timeline I have
2:15- first couple
2:23- second couple
2:31- third couple
2:42- me
is that too much time in between? not enough? any suggestions for better timing? we can start whenever in between the 2:15-2:41 as long as i make my grand entry at 2:42!

so i am a teacher and we’re on summer break. i taught summer school for the first 3 weeks of break but now my summer school program is over and im just hanging out at home. i am unpaid, because 11/12 month contracts aren’t a thing at my school. obviously with me being unpaid, my fiance is the sole breadwinner until my new contact starts in july.
my fiance has been super nice and supportive but everyone else in our lives are making me miserable! they’re making comments like “well i hope you have the house clean and dinner on the table” or “wow you should be sooo grateful he’s allowing you to not contribute anything to the household” etc. and i’m like, yeah im grateful for him but it’s not like im literally unemployed (i can’t even apply for unemployment) and my new contract starts in literally 4 weeks. also he knew i was a teacher when he decided he wanted a life with me, being unpaid in the summers isn’t new.
not only are the comments are misogynistic as hell, but i was literally already doing that stuff before. i was always the main cook and i do most of the internal cleaning so the comments are just irritating.
the other day my fiance made chicken on the grill and my dad goes “wow you’re making him cook after a long day at work” as if i didn’t always cook after a long day at work?
it’s just really frustrating how misogynistic people we know are.

my fiance and i went and looked at some venues near us, specifically wedgewood venues, and we’ve settled on one and im just so excited and grateful!
we were expecting to spend, minimum, $15000; that’s not including our outfits, florals, cake and photography. but this venue is $12k (including taxes and fees) and includes literally everything we need (not outfits obvi)!
but i mean open bar, cake, fresh florals for venue and i can do my bouquets as an add on, we added photography, plated dinner, food during cocktail hour served by waitstaff. and to top it all off we were able to add street tacos at the end of the night!
like this venue is our dream and im so so happy that we found a gorgeous venue that we can afford and that makes everything simple!

i recently got engaged and circumstances worked out where we are able to get married this october. i am starting at a new school this august, i was wondering if it was weird for me to ask to professionally go by Mrs. *last name*, although it’s not my official name yet, just to make the transition in october easier?
i love thrillers, obviously. i consume them so frequently that unfortunately, i have fallen into an issue where i can easily guess the plot twists and what direction the story is going in, even with freida mcfadden now, which is really saying something because i don’t think \*she\* even knows where she’s going with her twists.
i know that by asking for your twisty thriller recs im kinda spoiling that there is a twist, but tbh most thrillers have a twist so i don’t really see that as a spoiler.
with that being said, please recommend me some twisty thrillers!! even if it’s predictable as long as it’s fast paced and a good story i don’t even care, i just need to break my slump!
(no agatha christie please. i’ve read a lot of hers and find them dragged out and boring)
tickets aren’t in my email or on my account but i was charged. i will def contact universal help line but i don’t want to jump the gun if they usually take a while to show up.
thanks!
can you guess what color my bird is!?
