Everything I know about the sport of polo I learned from watching Pretty Woman.

Who has a @getairchat invite?

I am not anti-exclamation points in biz emails; I frequently have to edit out my overuse of exclamation points! But a sender's age and experience become obvious the more exclamation points are used. The more !! = the younger/less experienced sender. It distracts from the message.

I wish the Barbie marketing team would produce a documentary showing how all this came together: the team, how they selected partners/licensees, and what drama happened behind the scenes (because with this many moving parts, you know there was drama). instyle.com/barbie-movie-bra…

This is insane. The round-up of Barbie marketing and licensing deals is damn impressive. Barbie is everywhere, and I am not mad about it.

I also said I would never be a woman who ordered “just a salad and a glass of white wine” for lunch. But that is exactly what I ordered today. The Saturday afternoon burger and beer days are fewer as I enter my 45th year. The lesson is: respect your elders.

I swore I wouldn’t ever be the person who bought new towels in preparation for a visit from her mother-in-law, but now I am buying new towels in preparation for a visit from my MIL. The lesson is: never say never.

If I get a new headshot that I like, you can put money on me using that headshot for least five years. Hair changes, weight gain/loss, style trends be damned -- that's the headshot.

Jamie Lee Curtis sitting in the front row of the Oscars with her shoes off is the most relatable thing ever.

My January 2nd to-do list is starting to get really long.

Good project managers are underappreciated until you have to deal with a bad project manager.

I feel like my value as a stepmother will be determined by whether or not I am able to secure Taylor Swift tickets today.

Over four hours into the line for Taylor Swift tickets on Seat Geek for Arlington concert. Very little progress in the last hour.

I've now entered hour 3 in line on Seat Geek for Taylor Swift tickets in Arlington. Ridiculous.

Good luck to everyone attempting to purchase Taylor Swift concert tickets today. Mostly, good luck to me in my attempt to please my stepdaughter with the purchase of said tickets today.

I changed clothes three times this morning and ended up in leggings, a sweatshirt, and sneakers. How’s your Monday morning going?

One day I’ll intend to send myself an “inspirational” email that will accidentally get sent to someone else. It is just a matter of time. Until then, I’ll send myself email notes as thoughts and ideas occur. Apologies in advance if you receive my nonsense inadvertently.

“Air conditioning” is my love language.
