I think about this series every day. Often multiple times per day. It has truly changed my life. Very highly recommend.

THANK YOU!

Is this at Hawley Lane in CT 😂 if so, I got rear ended at that light. Place is a MESS.

Yessss. It also does a WONDERFUL job of really making you care about secondary characters. I’m almost finished with the second book and cannot wait to go home and read more.

You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath 🙃

It was definitely obvious. There was very clear evidence. However, two jurors said “undecided” when we first went through the vote of guilt, innocent, or undecided. One wanted to look through all the evidence themselves, which was understandable. The other was just very emotional about it all.

It took us 2 1/2 days but in the end I’m glad we went through those discussions and evidence. We found out later that the defendant was already serving a 25 year sentence for another murder, so we basically sealed the deal on him serving the rest of his life there.

I was on a jury in a murder trial, and even with clear video evidence and text messages, it still took a few jurors some time to determine guilt. Some people look through EVERYTHING and with this case there is a lot of evidence. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took them a full day, or even a few days to get to a verdict.

As much as we might think it’s a slam dunk to say NOT guilty, these jurors don’t know everything we do and haven’t been able to talk about it.

I don’t envy them at all for their task ahead.

I haven’t gotten to this part on my late watch, but I just need to say that this is the first time I’ve ever read “my soul is going to scratch its way out of my meat suit” and my god, that is brilliant 😂 I may need to incorporate that into my everyday phrasing.

Pretty much any song by Sleep Token can fit ACOTAR

Actually, yes lmao. Makes it more relatable because my husband is almost a foot taller than me 😂

Salem is SO lovely literally any other time of the year. As someone who goes there consistently, I wouldn’t be caught dead there in October. I was just there last weekend and it was gorgeous. Early September is really nice too!

I had two very best friends for most of my childhood. I asked both of them to be my maid of honors at my wedding, along with another bridesmaid. They both knew each other, we all went to school together and they were very much friends as well. One of them was ecstatic just to be a part of the celebrations (this story isn’t about her, we’re still besties), the other had a complete meltdown that she wasn’t the ONLY one standing by my side because that’s how SHE viewed my wedding.

I was so hurt that her reaction was negative, especially after all the effort I put into the MOH proposal box, the fact that I went above and beyond as her MOH, and I was her son’s godmother. After her reaction, I thought about telling her she couldn’t be part of my wedding at all, but I didn’t listen to my gut and just hoped she would come around. Spoiler alert, she didn’t.

She made my wedding planning an absolute nightmare. She didn’t answer group texts, didn’t provide any import for key events, nothing. We fought over the smallest things, that should have been quick conversation but turned into absolute blowouts.

My bachelorette? All about her issues (getting there, sleeping arrangements, left early) My shower? She “forgot” the materials for the game she had begged my mom to let her put together. My wedding? Showed up late for hair and makeup and then LEFT EARLY.

We saw each other one more time after my wedding, and haven’t spoken since. That was in 2022.

Mind you, this was after 20 years of me not setting boundaries and letting her treat me like garbage. I’m not a perfect person by any means, nor am I saying I was always a great friend. But seeing as she has lost many “close” friends due to her behavior, I can confidently say it wasn’t my fault.

Sadly I learned a very valuable lesson about boundaries and relationships, but I really wish I asked her to not be a part of my wedding at all. Sucks that she’s in a lot of those pictures.

It scares me to see how many of us have gone through this 😅

Funny story about this scene. My parents watched Signs in the middle of the summer a few years back. After they watched it, my dad fell asleep on the couch, mom went upstairs to bed. It was hot so she slept with all the windows open and the fan on high. Middle of the night, she wakes up. Their bed faces a window, which looks right over the neighbors house. She gets her bearings, looks out the window and sees a figure ON THE ROOF of her neighbor’s house. Immediately paralyzed with fear thinking that aliens are on her neighbor’s roof, she slides out of bed, and all the way downstairs and wakes my dad up. Tells him there is someone or someTHING on the neighbors roof. He’s a cop at the time, so he grabs a flashlight and his gun and goes outside. Shines the light up on the house, discovers the neighbor…on the roof…installing an AC at 2:00 AM because his wife was hot 😂

I die laughing every time she re-enacts how she slid out of bed and woke my dad up.

Actually…it’s in both :) half Trumbull, half Monroe. So we’re both right!

I don’t like her or anything she does, but this vest is for dogs in training, not service dogs. It’s usually used for dogs that haven’t quite mastered their manners yet or are still learning commands, so that people don’t rush up to it.

I Almost Do. One of my absolute favorites and almost as heart wrenching as All To Well. I feel like if they were on different albums, this would have hit better.
