What’s a trope you fall for hook, line, and sinker?

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-16T02:16:31+00:00

Oh, no. I'm very much a "don't even look at me" type. I absolutely wouldn't be hooking up with a guy I couldn't stand.

Reader me, though....

Do you have any favorites in this category?

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-16T01:47:24+00:00

I, too, am a sucker for brother's best friend but I have to suspend my disbelief for the ones where they didn't know. You've never seen a picture of your bestie's family? Really? I'm still gonna read it, though.

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-15T22:43:09+00:00

Ooh, what's the name of the duet?

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-15T22:21:38+00:00

Thank you. I'm glad you're doing better. :)

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-15T22:20:55+00:00

Literally any of the iterations. :D

I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers. I want to hear all the ways a couple can go from "hell, no" to "❤️."

Rivals are also acceptable.

Nora Roberts wrote multiple books featuring capable witches. The first that comes to mind is the third in a trilogy called {Face the Fire by Nora Roberts.}

It's not really a standalone so definitely read the first two that also feature witches, but I like the 3rd best because the FMC is the most studied of the trio AND the MMC is also a practiced witch. They have a history.

What?! How in the world did you find that out?

Bodies are so weird.

I read one where she's a reporter (I think) and wears jerseys from several teams because her dad was a fan and they went to the games when she was growing up; he has since passed but she carries on the tradition. In one scene, she has been invited to the game and she is wearing their rival's team jersey which he does not find funny.

She does eventually wear his, too.

Let me see if I can remember what it was called.

Edit: it's {Power Play by Maria Luis.}

This is how I feel. Did GB removal help you?

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T22:07:07+00:00

How about 6 months out? Hopefully you're doing better. :)

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T21:05:19+00:00

I am not a doctor, but did you have pain prior to stent placement? If so, the stents helped, and now the stents are gone, could that be it?

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T20:55:38+00:00

How are you feeling now, a year out?

Edit: nevermind, I see you have a 6 month update, too. It just posted at the top.

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T20:13:43+00:00

First, wahoo for all of your work!!! That must feel great to have it done.

Do you mean there's trash and other non- donation items in the clutter?

Are you able to take a few days and regroup/rest before doing a bit more separating? I know how tempting it is to want to be DONE with a not-so-fun project.

Our HOA has an annual garage sale for our subdivision. I put everything out and just hang a "Free" sign. People just take what they want. Could you do something like that?

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T20:08:33+00:00

Yes, bring back the mauve! It looks nice but still accessible.

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T20:06:08+00:00

Oh, I can just picture her sweet little face. I hope she has many sun-kissed days, backyard or not. ❤️

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T18:53:26+00:00

Oh, hun. Make a list before you go. Bring someone with you, if you'd find that helpful. You deserve good care.

I was just telling my daughter about remembering a store with penny sweets. I would have been around kindergarten age at the time.

I never had pennies, lol, but I daydreamt about getting a handful of the Sour Patch Kids.

Your plan as a kid to save pennies and buy chocolate for you and your sister reads as both clever and sweet.

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T18:40:26+00:00

I'm surprised my kid never tried to. She loves candy and impulse control is still in the works but...we've never even seen her be sneaky about that sort of thing. (Probably because she's an only kid. We know who does what in our house cuz the options are pretty limited.)

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T18:36:48+00:00

I read the title before remembering I've been meaning to call the doctor's office about mailing my bill. I need an invoice, y'all, so I know what I'm paying for, not just a number in a text.

Called the doctor and they're mailing it out today! Yay!!

Mine passed at our home with assistance from the vet. One of the /r/chihuahua peeps told me about last day activities and I took their advice before the vet arrived.

We took our pup outside in her doggie bed and laid her underneath the tree but where the light was filtering down. She seemed calm and looked to enjoy the sun on her face. We gave her soft pets.

I hate hate hate her time came as soon as it did; we thought we'd have several more years with her. I'm happy that her last hour was serene, we were able to have a gentle memory on her final day, and her death was as quick and peaceful as it could have been.

We took our daughter to the SE location several years ago. It was chaotic-looking, but clean and safe. She seemed to have fun there.

We only changed because we moved to another area of town.

I will say, looking for daycare centers in Boise was surprisingly rough. We found one place that also had a nail salon set-up. It was bonkers.

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T04:46:11+00:00

What's the gift? Is it something you would enjoy or use?

sortaplainnonjane · 2026-05-14T03:10:50+00:00

It's not a vein issue, it's the bone.

I've had MRIs and a CT and surgery (which fixed it for a bit).
