My husband was annoyed after spending $65 on two burgers and fries, so I said, “Bet yours could blow these away.” His eyes lit up. “Really? I’ll make some tomorrow!”

Two days later, I did the same with pasta.

And that’s how I Jedi mind-tricked my husband into becoming our chef.

A woman said Taylor Swift stopped being a good role model because of her Life of a Showgirl outfits. I asked if she wears a swimsuit in public. She said yes. I said, “Well, I guess you’re a bad influence too.” Ok, bye 👋

It’s 85 degrees in October. LA’s pretending it’s fall while my thighs are sticking to my leather seats like it’s July.

My husband is translating Bad Bunny lyrics so I actually know what I’m butchering in Spanish at the Super Bowl. I married my own closed captions.

One day you’re young and reckless. The next, you’re looking forward to soup season.

I got food poisoning from lettuce. Junk food never betrayed me like this.

Food poisoning doesn’t care about your plans, your sleep, or your will to live.

My favorite part of aging is discovering which new food will betray me each week.

The real secret to a lasting marriage? Never be in a bad mood on the same day. Rotate your emotional meltdowns like responsible adults.

Nothing feels more aggressive than someone cheerfully saying “Happy Monday!” before 8am.

Doctor: Read the chart for me.

Me: Needs immediate psych evaluation?

Doctor: Ma’am, I was talking about the eye chart.

Shaving is a spring and summer sport. In fall I’m strictly in the off-season.

Every couple has one person who loads the dishwasher like a Tetris master and one who just… tosses things in and hopes for the best.

My specialty is overthinking a text for 18 minutes before sending back, “lol yeah.”

My husband loves it when he orders fries, I say I don’t want any, and then I swoop in on his like a seagull at the beach.

Wild concept: you can like Taylor Swift and also like rock, rap, jazz, metal, or whatever else. Enjoying one artist doesn’t disqualify you from liking everything else too.

Two things I learned yesterday: I’m not too old to sit in a beanbag chair, but I’m too old to get out of one.

My husband doesn’t like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, so now it’s track three on every Spotify playlist he has.

In marriage, it’s the little victories.
