I had a professor that hated the word impact in all the modern ways it was being used and she would make her point by aggressively slamming a book on the lectern and saying “THAT is an impact”
definitely feel you on the neighborhood fireworks! UGH. I LOVE fireworks and the professional shows but please let my kids sleep for all those days leading up and after.
“Why use a mediocre word when you can use a first-rate word instead?”
I think I’m going to make this quote into a poster for my classroom.
When I cite your name, I can tell them you’re my friend and a published author.
I love summer, that is, until I don’t. The second I have to go back to work I believe it should be fall. If I can’t be in a some type of water, then it should not be hot outside!
I'm with you on the sparkling water. I WANT to love it, but it just doesn't taste good. I've tried many brands and flavors, I just don't get the excitement. Give me plain water any day.
We hate sparkling water, too. We call it "burp water." As in, someone ate the fruit listed on the can then burped over said can, enclosed it, and sold it. Hard pass!!
Fireworks. We also hate those. They're a family behind us who shoot off until midnight. My girls get anxious they'll hear them all night so it's never fun. And how much money are they spending on fireworks? I don't get it.
Summer is the worst. I am now getting hot flashes so I really don't like summer. Too hot!

What an impactful post!!!
And now, a less impactful poem:
I hate sparkling water
that pops in my mouth,
I love a long summer
so I live in the South.
Music was best in the
Nineteen-Eighties.
(All I can think of is
the River Euphrates.)
Give me the boom of a
big Roman candle,
And that’s about all
of this poem I can handle.
Karen, you win the internet.

I totally feel you on the cozy part though.
Aw, friend, you're so kind! Love and miss you!

SO MANY brands. It's out of control.
