GenX loser. Boy mom, cat mom, bookworm, wine enthusiast. Married to my best friend. Mostly polite Canadian with zero time for fuckwits.
As an exhausted perimenopausal 46 year old woman, being able to pause time to take a nap would be the most epic super power ever. I could go home on my lunch, take off my bra, hit the "pause time" button, and sleep a full REM cycle. That's what I would do with this power. Sleep.

My 19 year old would be mortified if he knew I was sharing this, but when he was little, he called Tim Hortons "Importance". I still call it that to this day.

It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.
