I told someone that I didn’t like the commercialism of Christmas but loved the commercializing of Valentine’s Day and they started talking about that makes too many obligations on Valentine’s Day and making cards and how it’s made the day into you just give flowers on that day and not other days of the year and you have to be expensive to prove your affection with diamonds or cheaply manufactured plush bears that end up in a landfill and yadda yadda.

like no I’m just thrilled about the heart-shaped pancake mold in the kitchen aisle

Hellooooo where is my $12

Scheduling my texts for reasonable hours like a professional 💅

I was so professional and not even demanding when I demanded my $12

Not scheduling this text and also not being nice about it anymore, let's goooooo

Sent the Bible reading plan I have been writing to a beta reader, pray for calm and humility for me while she critiques it please!

@thisbibliomaniac kinda a little of everything plan?

You start the mornings with the Torah/Pentateuch & Gospels

Noon Readings of the Prophets & Epistles

And end day with the wisdom books (Psalms, Ruth, ecclesiastes, etc...)

Reading cover to cover gets to be a slog for me breaking it up into chunks/themes thoughout the day helps, and I figure it could help someone else too.

I love that idea! Do you end up repeating any books, or still read through?

No repeats, that was another priority for me. I had been able to find several plans that broke things up into parts, but they always repeated the new testament and/or the psalms, when it is hard enough to get through the whole Bible in a year and I simply do not see the point in adding extra work to it.

Yeah, even the reading straight through plan that I use goes through Psalms twice. I'd be very interested in doing this when you've finished it

I'd say that Joshua/Judges/Samuel/Kings need to be read in order, as they give the full narrative history of Isreal. Reading them bits and pieces out of order doesnt really give you the full scope of the story.

Same with Chronicles/ezra/Nehemiah.

I look forward to using the schedule you worked out after reading through Bri's.

Making your own sweet tea is like. I can just keep putting stuff in there. Nobody is stopping me.

Im not even a sweet tea drinker for real, but I was inspired and I went crazy

You can put rosemary in there

I cannot stress enough that I genuinely actually believe people would order doordash during The Purge. I know I speak hyperbolically a lot of the time because I'm fun and charming like that but I am 100% serious literally actually serious but I believe that people would order doordash during The Purge.
