The balloon garland was extra… but so am I \u2728<\/p>\n

My manual dexterity took a big hit after the stroke, affecting my impeccable penmanship, my ability to open jars LOL, and apparently now tying balloons and looping them through a plastic garland strip, so Pammie helped me build this beauty. We were v surprised at how good it turned out – If you know Pammie, she’s not crafty at all and usually hates doing shit like this!<\/p>\n

One thing about me:<\/strong> I don\u2019t half ass anything – I always use my full ass \ud83c\udf51\u270c\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n

When I found out that BTS was live streaming their concert from Korea on their 13th anniversary (Festa<\/a>), I knew I wanted to throw a watch party complete with a Korean spread (Korean fried chicken, japchae, Korean short ribs, tteokboki, Korean BBQ chicken, gimbap, Korean fish cakes, kimchi fried rice and BTS-related goodies – ARIH noodles<\/a>, HY BTS Coffee, and BTS Oreos<\/a>), and decorations *googles how to make a balloon garland*<\/p>\n

Yes, I cricutted my dog a BTS shirt, and yes, he’s so tired of my shit \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

My record player has been on the fritz since I moved from LA, and instead of figuring out what was wrong with it, I just bought a new one<\/a>. When I set it up, I was having the same problem that my old one was having, so I found an easy solution on Reddit, and was able to fix the old turntable, too \ud83d\ude05 I’m just gonna give the old one to Pammie instead of returning the new one bc nobody has time for that shit – I also regularly miss return windows on Amazon purchases even though I walk Milo past the UPS Store a block away every damn day. And I always order more than I need so that I can get faster shipping by spending $25+, and I always say, ‘I’ll just return the extra stuff,’ but I never return the extra stuff…<\/p>\n

Jessie brought soju, beer, and cucumber kimchi from her kimchi guy (yes, she has a kimchi guy<\/a> and doesn’t buy it jarred at HMart like a normal person). She has quietly been a fan of all things Korean for years now, and is loving that Pammie and I are into BTS now. Her 23 and me<\/a> results said she was 1% Korean and she has really leaned into that 1% \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n

We try to get together at least once a month to catch up on each other’s lives, but we’ve all been so busy, so besides Christine’s kids’ birthday party last month, it’s been a few months since we’ve gotten together.<\/p>\n
