APW Happy Hour

Springtime and the living is sneezy

Hey apw,

As some of you may know, I live on a farm (see: evidence above). The farm is a lovely place to live most of the time, except allergy season. Which it happens to be right now. Combine that with Mercury Retrograde (MY FAVESIES) and I am beginning to feel like that person who doesn’t understand how to cut bread in that one infomercial. But! There have been some major wins the past few weeks:

  • We finally enrolled the puppy in a beginner obedience class and it has completely transformed her personality. She’s so snuggly now.
  • I managed to not kill a plant! After an intense bout of cabin fever a few weeks ago, I went rogue at the Home Depot and bought a bunch of potted fruit and vegetable plants with the intent of planting a small garden. They have thus far made it to my front porch. #Whoops. But so far, only one of them is dead! (RIP raspberry bush.) And my little potted strawberries are actually… making strawberries! Y’all, I kill cacti. This is big.
  • And in the most mundane news you’ve ever heard, I found this magical thing at Bed Bath & Beyond the other week and finally managed to get the awful hard water stains out of my shower. It’s basically just a nicely packaged pumice stone, but it feels like a revelation.

But enough about me and my very glamorous life. It’s your Happy Hour, so get to it!

Cheers,

Maddie

Did you hear about the feminist cupcake sale that brought on death threats?

Someone calculated how many men the Golden Girls slept with and let’s just say it: Blanche, you’re a queen among women.

That one time you accidentally-on-purpose CCed your whole department on a twelve-paragraph email about office supplies wasn’t too great, huh?

DoctHERs is a social enterprise that empowers female physicians in Pakistan, and we love it.

The Rogue One trailer has been released: who wants to nerd out?

Don’t forget that your dog wants the baby to love him, too.

This video depicting the mating dances of animals is kind of breathtakingly beautiful (even if it is a condom ad).

Sorry, your off-the-rack wedding dress isn’t good enough.
