Thanks! This is my third time seeing her; she's an incredible performer. Like, born to perform. Also, funny thing: whenever I see your name in my inbox, for a second I think it says Maggie Rogers!
I loved reading about your experience as a cheerleader and your grappling with putting more effort into your appearance versus being more low-key. The ending of your piece was just perfect. And I agree—the DCC alumni performance (the whole show in general) was fun to watch!
I really enjoyed I Hope This Finds You Well, too, with you on feeling let down by season 3 of The Bear, with you on loving Olivia Colman, and (guess what I’m about to say) with you on being happy that Shrinking is back! I have a big crush on Gaby. Her purple overalls in tonight’s episode!!! 😍 I can’t wait for Bad Sisters to return.
We are definitely soul sisters in a lot of ways! At least w/ pop culture?! Lol. Bad Sisters! That's another one. Sharon Horgan is amazing. I haven't watched the new season of Shrinking yet but I am so excited to be back w/ the gang and Gaby's amazing, colorful wardrobe!
Do we need to start a midlife unraveling club?? Also I appreciate your honesty here: I was never a cheerleader, but I too remember getting all dressed up with my friends *knowing* we would be looked at. It *was* a delicious, fizzy feeling.
Also: The Bear. Napkins was genius. Olivia Coleman forever, please. Did I still watch the crap out of season 3? Absolutely. Am I still looking forward to season 4? Yup. But I sure hope it finds it's way again.
I think we just might need to start that club! It's funny, it reminds me of the identity shift of becoming a mother...like, you knew it was gonna be a big deal, other people had told you it would be a big deal, but you can't really know until you're there. Midlife feels like that! Glad I'm not alone. : )
I’m with you in the midlife unraveling!!
I knew I wasn't alone! ;)
Enjoy Maggie Rogers! Would love to see her live one day. Maggie Rogers radio on Spotify has been my favorite fall music

oh, man I wish! I will say that the last name Rogers is blessed with some good characters like Maggie and Mister Rogers!

Hooray for the Maggie Roger’s concert!
Ew autocorrect put an apostrophe on Rogers

Sharon Horgan is another girl crush for sure! I’m sure I’ve asked you this but have you seen This Way Up? Loved it.
I think I only watched the first season! I don't remember why I stopped. Catastrophe is still one of the funniest shows I've ever watched!
