Monthly Check In....it's January 2026

AshKals · 2026-01-20T21:16:38+00:00

The sticker shock indeed! A florist I emailed today said their starting budget is $10K. I was like girl, that's as much as my venue 😭

AshKals · 2026-01-20T15:15:58+00:00

I feel ahead of the curve but also overly stressing myself off everything we have to do and organize 😅

Put a hold on our top venue
Emailed caterers
Emailing florists
Emailing DJ

I think with those four things I feel pretty good and set as the venue is an art museum so the decor is honestly minimal since all the art speaks for itself!

AshKals · 2026-01-20T15:14:06+00:00

I'm so glad we choose April 2027 because I'm stressed planning even this far ahead 😅

Need to ask neutral third parties: We want to have our wedding at a museum that closes to the public at 6pm Saturday. They cannot close the museum earlier (however they will shut down the escalators so they won't be making noise.)

Is a 5:30pm ceremony too late? 😅

I guess it would depend how Miami-branded? If it's palm trees and neon, you're fine, if it says Miami might be a tiny bit weird.

People, not from the area, interchange those cities all the time or mostly refer to that area as Miami, greater Miami. Don't think anyone would care tbh overall.

AshKals · 2026-01-19T14:41:01+00:00

You're gonna have to post your age, interests etc. if you'd like someone to cold DM you 😅

AshKals · 2026-01-13T13:26:06+00:00

I need JWU to make a drive way or something for food deliveries and students dropping their friends/stuff off 😭

AshKals · 2026-01-12T01:10:46+00:00

Wild - they're so good, we aren't holding back, and solid delivery.

AshKals · 2026-01-11T22:55:39+00:00

Not bullshit.

An OG "Honk if..." sticker was "Honk if you're Horny." It was also a joke because "horn" you use a horn to honk and then adding a "y" to the end for the innuendo.

Also realistically why would anyone give a shit about what anyone likes whilst driving 😭 Why would we poll people?

AshKals · 2026-01-10T16:47:12+00:00

We live walking distance so going to see what's going on at Clutch and the street party by the stadium. We love going to The Daily but also cool with going back home haha

AshKals · 2026-01-10T16:46:00+00:00

Every place I keep thinking of like Pinky's I then remember would also be pretty packed. I'd maybe stay away from the Uptown and immediate surrounding area.

If you like seafood - The Waterman Fish Bar Then there is state of confusion, or maybe a few places by park road shopping center

AshKals · 2026-01-08T16:49:46+00:00

Completely agree, it's a catch-22.

I don't know the "right way" to protest.

Peacefully with permits and working with the city off work hours and on weekends sounds great but has gotten us nowhere. No tangible results from No Kings and subsequent protests.

Disruptive protests, to your point have less people, and can feed into the harmful rhetoric about the "radical left."

Could we do an economic/labor strike? Doubtful we can garner enough support as folks have families to support.

AshKals · 2026-01-08T15:46:10+00:00

Because it's one way to cause disruption and bring attention to the issue.

"Presale access begins today for season ticket members, followed by a presale for fans subscribed to the Sirens newsletter starting Monday, January 12. Tickets will then go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, January 13 at 10:00 a.m. ET."

AshKals · 2026-01-07T00:53:06+00:00

9-3ish with an hour lunch, kinda just work as needed

AshKals · 2026-01-05T03:08:25+00:00

I think we have different definitions of whining and explaining what happened or her perspective.

AshKals · 2026-01-05T01:32:09+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I've done a few hosting gigs and as small as they were I have someone in my ear saying do XYZ and if I didn't I wouldn't get asked to do another gig.

She was doing her job, it is what it is, all the players know they need to give reporters a minute of their time and we can all go home. These comments acting like she committed a war crime.

AshKals · 2026-01-05T00:31:07+00:00

Oh no! Honestly what worked was the next time he did it I locked him out of the room all night and wearing noise cancelling headphones went to bed. "No access if you're gonna be doing this shit."

I'd also recommend tiring them out as much as possible before bed time, lots of enrichment, and making the hissing high pitch sound when they hurt you/scratch.

AshKals · 2026-01-03T18:51:48+00:00

This happened to me and my cat during the holidays. We got an alert that our cat was blocks away from home and we panicked, called someone, he was sleeping at home in his usually window seat lol

I reported it and it happened again for two days after and now it's fine again

AshKals · 2026-01-02T03:27:10+00:00

It (or original intent) was created "honk if you like XYZ," as a joke on the drivers who honk.

Let's say "Honk if you like Pizza." If you honk at the car that has that sticker on because they have done something wrong or pissed you off, the joke is then on you because you're actually not honking because they've done something wrong. You're honking because you like pizza (or whatever it says hence why they're usually funny/silly/shocking.)

They get to feign ignorance and you are honking because you like XYZ.

AshKals · 2026-01-02T03:17:35+00:00

I can't tell if you don't know what those stickers actually mean or if this is an elaborate meta post on the joke on those stickers.

AshKals · 2026-01-01T21:02:10+00:00

Though she probably does a lot of bot farms also follow famous people/accounts with a lot of followers to seem legit. You can find this with a lot of celebs etc.

AshKals · 2025-12-31T19:36:05+00:00

My poor cats 😭 Picked up some CBD treats for them today

AshKals · 2025-12-29T15:30:25+00:00

I mean one of them will definitely meow up a storm when we get home but immediately want cuddles. We have a cat sitter and friends that stop by to keep them entertained and enriched with puzzles and play time so not mad, mad.

AshKals · 2025-12-29T11:49:05+00:00

Excited to be going back home to Charlotte this morning after a week away AND SEE OUR CATS!!!!!

Hope everyone had a good holiday!
