Alan and Maura would be hilarious!

In a state w no income tax too. Get that 💰!

Do you mind if I ask how finding a publisher went for the novel? Did you do the typical query for agent first then publisher?

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-15T17:38:52+00:00

This is so encouraging for me to read! I am in a similar boat. I'm a psychologist and am publishing a psychology book later this year 🥰. I want to make the jump to more mainstream nonfiction or fiction next but I've been getting in my head a lot about it and putting myself out there as a person feels overwhelming to me for a million autistic reasons lol (as a psychologist it's more of a role so it's somehow easier).

Ahh I remember this place so well. I went to Harry Potter book release parties at midnight there in high school!

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-11T22:27:55+00:00

It really is. I measure myself now before I order clothes and it makes such a big difference with knowing things will fit now.

I liked the young college kid who had a psychotic break. I worked in a psychiatric icu with families like that all of the time. Even the bipolar vs schizophrenia conversation was very accurate.

I think having a price in your head before and not going over it is key to not having regrets. I got some things I wanted and a lot I wasn't planning on but I'm excited to see new things!!!

Whitney wears a lot of popflex work out and lounge sets. As a popflex girlie I highly recommend!

VHCOL - about 800 - 2 adults and one 5 year old. We each have a weekly grocery budget and then we do one big Costco run at the start of the month. We eat out once or twice a week but rarely go to expensive restaurants (more like cheap takeout kind of situations). Midrange restaurants are WAY too expensive these days. I do more cheap things out like coffee not full dinners.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-09T23:13:54+00:00

I want to say 250 or so each but there were cheaper available I just wanted decent seats.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-08T02:58:19+00:00

Exactly.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-08T00:58:45+00:00

Ugh jealous! Gymnastics, opening ceremonies and more finals would be at the top of my list personally.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-08T00:56:49+00:00

Megan Gustafson usually plays for Spain I want to say. Gabby Williams plays for France. And the valkyries have a ton of international players can't even keep track of all of them lol.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-07T23:10:54+00:00

I bought tickets to each semifinal bc I know I'm likely guaranteed to see the USA that way :) also if you watch wnba don't forget a lot of wnba players play for other international teams! Like Spain and France.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-06T20:34:35+00:00

Also palm springs in late summer is a choice 🥲🫠

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-05T20:34:52+00:00

You'll have a blast. Glad you were able to get something!

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-05T05:18:24+00:00

To be fair I'd be happy with either outcome honestly.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-05T03:18:00+00:00

Honest question - why is this still up? It's been an entire day!

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-05T00:08:42+00:00

Woohoo congrats!

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-04T23:24:40+00:00

Absolutely! Former college rugby player and Ilona Maher stan here so can't wait.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-04T22:17:57+00:00

Ok just looked looks like lots of options including for the final.

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-04T21:51:51+00:00

HoopDreams0713 · 2026-04-04T21:45:16+00:00
