Candace Gatson Smart

My parents never bought me a TV for my room or a $400 prom dress or a car for my 16th birthday, but they did put money into a college savings account so that I could graduate debt free, so I would say they did alright.

I wish there was an extra star I could give Uber drivers that introduce me to cool Canadian indie folk music I haven’t heard before.

Last year, at the end of the first round, my bracket was ranked #2,501 out of 12 million on ESPN. This year, I’m losing to my two-year old nephew. #MarchMadness

I don’t have all of the answers for the current labor shortage situation, but I know it’s not employers berating the workforce in their job postings.

At the end of two rounds, I’m at #3,483 out of approx. 12 million brackets. The future doesn’t look bright, but this has been fun so far.

At the end of the first round, I’ve slipped a little, but I’m still in the 100th percentile and ranked #2,501 for all brackets on ESPN. I’ll take it.

Finishing the day tied for #109. The Oral Roberts upset was my only miss. Tune in tomorrow to watch me blow my lead in my bracket pools like I’m Ohio State.

Update: #467. And I’ve got Syracuse picked in the next game.

My bracket is currently ranked #1,040 on ESPN. I just wanted to document that flex before I invariably plummet into mediocrity. #MarchMadness

Hey @AmazonHelp , it’s illegal for your delivery van drivers to put packages in my mailbox. Stop doing it.

Kansas State alumni are free to do whatever they want with their money... but in my eyes, the Alumni Village is not a good look right now.

Finally getting around to watching Love is Blind..... some of these jokers are very mistaken about their market value.

*Me* : I should cut out all non-necessities to cushion the emergency fund during these uncertain times. *Me, 5 minutes later* : Should I get an inflatable pool for the back deck?

One of my managers inaccurately introduced me in a client call today, saying “Candace has her Master’s from Kansas”.

Since last summer, my husband has been making appointments to donate blood every 8 weeks on the dot. He’s kinda my hero.

It’s cancelled, it’s all cancelled.

Pretty sure Barb is going to throw Peter over and keep her daughter Hannah Ann #TheBachlor

Everything Hannah Ann says sounds like she watched previous seasons and wrote down key phrases on note cards and strung them all together #TheBachlor

Did the Tourism Council make Peter spit off all of these facts on this helicopter tour after he called the Outback “scary”? #TheBachelor

I just ordered 26 tacos at T. Bell and the cashier didn’t ask me if it was for here or to go. Apparently he has no faith in my ability to put down tacos.
