There was a lot of firsts on this day ✨️

It was my first time:

🥇 Going to restaurant week in Philly
🥇 Going to a SoFar Sounds Concert
🥇 Seeing @lovesaidthecommander @cvgebird & @moustaphanoumbissi live
🥇 Going to Frankford Hall
🥇 Having a stein

Great night, great music, great people. Cheers 🍻

I feel so loved right now...

Between my best friend @borschbaby popping over with coffees to help put up wallpaper in my bedroom 🌺

To my sister @briannasturges writing the sweetest caption as she shared my request for people to vote for me as best "Pet Trainer" in the Bucks Happening List 🥹

To it being a Saturday & beautiful and shining bright into my apartment 🌅

I don't want to "know it all," I want to appreciate it all ✨️

I am so thankful for my people & this beautiful life ❤️

Serenading you with "Happy Birthday" Encanto songs

Serenading you with "Happy Birthday" Encanto songs, & "I love you" all day was too easy... because you are SO easy to love (& rock out to Disney in a brewery with) 🤭

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the finest 30-year-old I think I have ever seen / I may be biased since I think we kind of look alike ✨️

Let's pose like one of those French girls on billards tables again soon & "And if the Eagles go to the Superbowl, it's only because we spent last night's game together laughing 😍

I love you so much you red-headed, doesn't-look-a-day-over-25, smiley fox 🦊

Let's live for another 70 years living like we aren't a day over 20, blowing bubbles & all 🧚‍♀️

The name of the "success" game is FAST IMPERFECT A

The name of the "success" game is FAST IMPERFECT ACTION 💕

My favorite quote to tell those wanting to become entrepreneurs is, "It takes 10 years to become an overnight success."

Why?

Because we tend to want everything to be ✨️ perfect ✨️ before moving to the next step.

If you want to reach your big goal quicker than 10 years (maybe it will only take you 8 years like it did me 😉), take fast imperfect (aligned) action.

The lessons you'll learn along the way (through mistakes) will be more valuable than you can ever know ❤️

It's exactly a month since the "Week of Mash" had started 🙈

In remembrance of this history-making week, here is a summary of our weekend in the Pocono's / Tobyhanna ❤️

Despite what the last picture states, I will financially recover from this.

I won't, however, forgive Mash for unknowingly picking a place that was an hour away from our Airbnb to get lunch as a snow storm threatened our safety 🦌😉

Thanks for the mems, Tobes ❄️

Happy 9th birthday to the moaniest, groaniest grin

Happy 9th birthday to the moaniest, groaniest grinch-footedest aussie / cattle girl 💙

This year, I have grown more & more in love with you, but so have so many of my loved ones. Since moving into the apartment, there have been so many more oppurtunies for my friends (new & old) to see what a perfect angel baby you are 🥹

From all your amazing tricks, your secret love of tight snuggies, & your respectfulness EVERY DAY when I wipe down your feet & in between your toe beans before letting you back into our perfect home (because you live there), you are my definition of perfection!

Thank you for continuing to bless my life with such joy & purpose. Stitchie girl, you've changed everything for me 💕

After the success of our Hocus Pocus 2 Premiere Party, I'm am so excited for our Christmas gift exchange in 3 days 🤭

You can't be mad for the 6 days belated b-day post

You can't be mad for the 6 days belated b-day post because I needed to find these gems 🫠

You can, however, be mad for the said found gems 😜

Someone called me phone the other day & the caller ID said "Dorothy Jones" & I immediately thought of the time you said "you are the only one who can call me that without me getting mad..." Let's pretend me posting all these pictures is another one of those circumstances 🥸

//

Although I don't see you 4 days a week for 6 hours at a time anymore, whenever I do see your demented face on Snapchat video chat all the way from Florida, I immediately wonder "How were we ever allowed to work together?" 🤓

I'm so happy we can be our 💯 percent full, authentic, mentally-Ill psychopath selves together!!

I love you so much Dorothy 🥹 Happy birthday & I can't wait for margs in 2 weeks when you get home for the holidays, soulmate 😉

Of course, the only time I got my bullseyes was during the practice rounds 🎯

BUT I did make an amazing score keeper & slots spin supervisor 🎰

Leave it to a water sign to go to a luminary latern night & find a watering can 🕯🚿

I did make sure to use the:

- Lanterns for manifestation purposes
- Kids table for entertainment purposes
- Friends for, well... the company 🥰

Before I start saying anything *nice* about this b

Before I start saying anything *nice* about this barfday girl, I need to clear some things up:

Yesterday, a Monday in December around approximately 3:15 PM Mashie posted THIS Titok to her story (see video 1 in carousel) "What the hell are you doing telling people we're a gay couple?"

What she failed to mention is that THIS screenshot (See picture 1 in carousel) was a comment that said culprit left in MY TikTok chat.

Now that we all know Maria is obsessed with me (and not the other way around)... it's time for me to undo all this prior work I've done to prove said fact and GUSH about my best friend on her 28th birthday (see below) ⬇️

//

To my best friend, despite how BASIC WHITE GIRL our friendship looks from these pictures & videos (particularly Starbies, dressing rooms, & Target), we have such a deep friendship.

From ✨️ Manifesting ✨️ our dreams lives in museum courtyards, creating cozy spaces to welcome comfortable energy, & cultivating a judgement-free zone for each other to be our authentic selves, I am so thankful I decided to consistently box you into the window seat & annoy you on the bus in the 5th grade 🚍

As you learned last night, "Week of Mashie" started yesterday 🥳

I am so excited to continue on with your birthday week starting with your free bday starbies ☕️

See you in an hour, bestie 🙆‍♀️

Things I've learned from my 2nd ever flight: 1. T

Things I've learned from my 2nd ever flight:

1. That not every airline has its own airport. I thought I was at an "American Airlines Airport" & it wasn't until I saw a large yellow airplane with the word "Spirit" on it that I realized my naivite. (Mashie & her whole fam got a real kick out of this realization) 😶‍🌫️

2. A carry on, personal item, & checked luggage is PLENTY of space for a 9 day trip (I felt a sigh of relief thinking of future vacas)

3. Cute sweat suits are the way to go both too & from your destination. So easy to quickly slip on & off the sweats / zip up depending on the temperature your headed into... and you just look plain adorable 🙆‍♀️

4. Global Entry & TSA pre-check is divine. It's a bitch to get it but it makes it so much quicker to get through the airport & book it home to my girl @Stitch_thebluefox

5. THE BISCOFFS THEY GIVE YOU ARE DELISH! I HAD 8! 🍪

6. Don't watch a sad movie on the plane because you will be trying so hard to not be the "crying baby" that everyone so wishes they don't have on their flight & you'll get messy. ("Life of Pi" was my poison)

7. Check out the window every so often to catch the sun going down (or coming up) the horizon... Breathtaking 🌅

8. Eye mask. Bring one.

What I'd your fav "flight tip?" 🛩

Does anyone else get a 2nd wind on vacation just b

Does anyone else get a 2nd wind on vacation just before your about to leave? 🥲

On the last night, we went to a Mexican restaurant where I was deemed "Senorita Grande" due to my height. After we sat down I asked for a shot of tequila and was given 2 because apparently if you are grande, you can drink grande.

The Sombreros were a nice touch 🥳

What a great last night of my first trip to Mexico ❤️

For those of you who don't know, this whole amazin

For those of you who don't know, this whole amazing Mexico trip wasn't just a fun way to celebrate Thanksgiving, but was prompted by my friend Vika's destination wedding ✈️

Because we don't have the wedding pictures back yet, I'll tide you over with the pictures we got with the bride on the final 2 days of vaca when most of her guests have left and we had her all to ourselves 🤪

I can't wait to see the beauty (& chaos 🙆‍♀️) that was your wedding & reception in 3-4 months time 😶‍🌫️

Well, it didn't used to be "Always..." There used

Well, it didn't used to be "Always..."

There used to be stipulations to my "Always."

1️⃣ Will I be back in my own bed at the end of the night?
2️⃣ Is the ride to & from the event not more than an hour & a half?

Okay, those were my main two 😶‍🌫️

Will I be home & will I be stuck in my head at night on the ride home?

I have what I call "Night time anxiety" where thoughts that could be motivating & non-threatening during the day could send me into a spiral at night 🌙

This was a huge concern of mine after being asked to be a bridesmaid in my friend Vika's wedding in Mexico for 9 days (I have never been out of the states before 🤯)

On March 7th of this year, I decided to finally start an anxiety / depression / OCD medication after 5 years of my PCP & 6 months of my therapist saying how it could really help with my overlow of strong emotions.

It has really helped. It took some time in the beginning, but now my stipulation-driven spontaneity has been flipped into a when-aligned "Always."

I'm really thankful for being open to taking chances that make adventures more possible for a wandering mind like mine.

Now my body can do a little more of that wandering for me 🥰

We were all so excited for the lazy river that we heard was going to be at the all-inclusive resort we'd be staying at 😃

... until we found out you needed your own tubes ... which none of us brought 😶‍🌫️

We still went down the river but by butts instead of body boats until the last day...

A woman stopped me & Mash on our way into the pool & said that she & her family are leaving & they didn't want to bring their tubes with them ✈️

Just like that we had 4 tubes to use on the lazy river on our last day ❤️

The coolest thing?

Once we got to live out our resort dreams, it was our time to leave.

I walked around the main pool & gave all 4 tubes to 4 different kids I saw playing by the shallow end.

They were all so happy & excited!

It was a full circle moment that was so heartwarming to be a part of 🥺🥰
