The subtitle 🤣 THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME! Number of hotel gyms I have packed for: 27. Number of times I have actually worked out in a hotel gym: 2. Why am I like this!

I really appreciated Ashlee's honesty about the fight on her birthday. Also, I really need to figure out how to convince my husband he won't hate a trip to NYC. (He says it's way too many people and is also gross and dirty...I don't have many counterpoints to those, ha.)

Erin, I totally get this. NYC is not my typical vibe, but I would go pretty much anywhere to see Mike Birbiglia. What's your husband into? Live music? Comedy? Theater? Late night shows? I feel like NYC has something for everyone and you could definitely sway him there if the right event was on the table!

Thanks for reading, Erin! My husband hates crowds but truly enjoys NYC- maybe because he expects that they’re part of the experience.

Loved reading about your NY memories!! Also 😂😂 at the gym packing. Same! I’ve spent my adult life looking like a “straight from my flight to a run,” traveler, wearing athleisure and running shoes on flights, when I’m really just going straight to my hotel for a nap. Such high hopes!

It's good for us to dream, though? 😜

I loved reading this! I don’t usually pack gym clothes, but I often pack things I never wear at home, thinking that I will want to wear them somewhere else. And I do not. 😂🫣

More importantly: did you win?

Yes and no. I wanted to talk about the *bigger issue.* Andy wanted us to drop it and move on. I agreed on the condition that he play the game "Chronology" with me. (He only plays it on Mother's Day and my birthday.) 😂😂 I creamed him.
