#WDNCW @dabbe

We do not care that this book would have made a fabulous holiday gift, but it doesn't come out until January. We also do not care that we suffered yet another vertigo episode yesterday and have been dealing with it for over 30 years.

We also do not care that we are in no way ready for the holidays re: gifts, cards, decorations ... it all seems so overwhelming this year.

Care to share your “we do not cares?“ I'd love to hear 'em!

DGRachel #1 Boo to vertigo/dizzy spells. Feel better! #2 SQUEEE for WDNC book! (And there was a #3 wasn‘t there? Dang Litsy and their hiding of the post while leaving comments. My brain has already forgotten what I read and what I wanted to say! 😭😭) 1w
ShelleyBooksie I do not care that I am a 46 year old woman who has a golden tinsel christmas tree in her office decorated with squishmallow stuffies. They make me smile ♡ 1w
DGRachel OH! #3 - the whole world feels overwhelming right now. Fortunately it‘s just me and my mom and we basically quit doing Christmas. Neither one of us is good at waiting to give gifts to the other person so we buy them, and within two days it‘s like “here. Merry Christmas” and it‘s September 30th. 🤣🤣 The tree is up and has lights on it. There will be no ornaments. We‘re done. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 1w

Bklover I hate vertigo!! Hope it gets better.. this is the first time I‘ve seen the WDNC club- I‘m in a menopause WDNC club on TikTok. I even have a tshirt. 😊😉 1w
Bklover @DGRachel that happens to me too. By the time I hop over to make a comment I‘ve forgotten what I wanted to say. I also have the same problem with Christmas presents, and my tree has lights and that‘s it. Kindred spirits. 1w
AnnCrystal 💝💝💝 May you be all well now, and may you be able to focus more on the fun of the season in this overwhelming world 😘💝💝💝. 1w
ravenlee I feel so overwhelmed, too! There‘s too much going on, and expectations are too high, and everybody NEEDS SOMETHING FROM ME ALL THE TIME and I am already so freaking over it all! And yet, we have three weeks to go. 😖🙄😫 1w
dabbe @Bklover How cool is that? I adore her! Where did you get the shirt? I might have to get one, too! ♥️💙💚 1w
dabbe @AnnCrystal ♥️💙💚 1w
dabbe @ravenlee I say do what you can and let the rest go hang! You deserve some quality “me“ time, m'dear. ♥️💙💚 1w
Bklover I got the shirt on Melani‘s TikTok shop. I had a lady come up to me in Walmart to tell me that she‘s in the WDNC club too. Apparently there are a lot of us! 💙💙 1w
ravenlee Thanks for the sentiment - but it‘s mostly kiddo‘s Nutcracker commitments and my Christmas gigs causing all the stress, none of which is negotiable. 😖 The rest of the presents and family stuff is its own headache, of course, but I just fake it as I go. 1w
MemoirsForMe Vertigo sucks! Feel better! 🤗 1w
kspenmoll Feel better! 1w
dabbe @Bklover L💙VE! ♥️💙💚 1w

Gissy @KT1432 I enjoyed it and I read it in conjunction with the audiobook. The narrator‘s voice is so pleasant. I always enjoy my audiobooks with her as a narrator. But, this book has mixed reviews, you like it or you don‘t. I don‘t see many comments in the middle side ☺️ 3w

My fave holiday movies:
1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Lindy West's timeless review of Love Actually: https://www.jezebel.com/i-rewatched-love-actually-and-am-here-to-ruin-it-for-al-...
We read this (swear-word-filled) review with our annual listen to David Sedaris's "Santaland Diaries."

dabbe Love all of your choices. #3 review: priceless. Thanks for playing and sharing. ❄️☃️❄️ 1mo
Ruthiella I had not read that review before. Hilarious! 😂 1mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I've gotten through the first two paragraphs and I'm already willing to propose a group movie night with our friends followed by a very dramatic reading of this review by yours truly. Maybe I'll include that sorority letter that went viral like 15 years ago, too, just for funsies! 🤣 1mo

1. The Blue Wave. 💙🌊💙🌊💙 Hoping for an even bigger one next year!
2. Our temps didn't hit above 90 degrees. Grateful for small mercies.
3. Survived the following in one day: a Pippa episode, a Covid vaccine, a flu vaccine, a fall in my house which led to an ambulance ride to the local hospital and a couple of staples in the noggin. Plus shot #3: a tetanus one. Fun day.
4. Matt. #always
5. Kate & Pippa. #always

Thanks, everyone. I'm healing, and so is my bruised ego for being such a klutz. Saw my PT guy yesterday and almost gave him a coronary telling him what happened. He didn't even care about my head. All he finally said was, “At least your shoulder wasn't harmed!“ 🤣
1mo
AnnCrystal 👏🏼😅😘💝💝💝. 1mo
dabbe @AnnCrystal ♥️🍁🧡 1mo
kspenmoll Are you ok? So sorry you fell on top of everything else going on, meaning your shoulder. Your PT wasn‘t worried your head knock might affect your shoulder?! Love & Snuggs. Get those dogs to train as your body guards! 1mo
dabbe @kspenmoll Oh, that was the ONLY thing he was worried about; he couldn't care less about my head! 🤣 Oh, and here's Pip during the whole thing. I'm bleeding profusely from my head (hit a capillary), and while I'm laying on the ground waiting for Matt to find me, she's snagging treats one by one, deftly avoiding the blood and me. 🤣 Kate was worried; she's my Little G (Little General). I think Pip's on too many drugs to care much--except for food! 1mo
dabbe @kspenmoll Thanks, my friend. And my new favorite word is SNUGGS. Right back atcha. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

That ending…. 💔 This book is so sad. And somehow hopeful. Corny struggles to come to terms with life in prison after caused a tragedy that tore his family apart. He will spend three years of his life there and is determined to come out a better man. This is the story of a complex man, who has grown on me while I couldn‘t stop reading. Recommended!

I can't decide if reading this with rugby in the background that I don't want to watch is a good fit with this title...

(I am today's find-the-streamer monitor, apparently. We're on #3 already... 🤔😱 )

I'm creeped out by a lot of things! The three I chose are random ones.
1. Caves. Or should I say caving disasters. Just look that up on YouTube, especially the Nutty Putty Cave Incident. You'll see why.
2. Bugs. Or should I saw UGLY bugs. I love butterflies! I once had to get special permission to have my pin-an-insect biology project changed to pin-a-leaf instead.
3. I can't STAND my bare feet on anything. Truly.

TheBookHippie I was with you until #3. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1mo
