- I started using Patreon to support my favorite podcast, I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein. Isn’t it awesome there’s so much content out there, and a multitude of ways to take it in (blogs, podcasts, vlogs & youtube, etc.)? What a time to be alive, folks. (Ha, not that garbage content and content-overload are not huge issues…)
- Speaking of podcasts, I found another one to listen to I really thought I’d like because it’s interviews with the average runner, but I could not handle all the “um”s and “uh”s in the interviews. GAH. It made me mental. I understand they are more casual speakers because they ARE the average runner, but I couldn’t focus on what they were saying. Note to self – watch my “um”s, “uh”s, and “like”s.
- I am going to try a dip manicure today! I usually get gel, but it’s not lasting as long as I’d like, and dip is supposed to last longer. I hope I like the way it turns out.
- We started calling Starbuck “Bucatini” (full name Starbuck Cooters McScooters Bucatini Lastname) so we decided the other cats should have Italian nicknames too. Apollo is “Quattro Formaggi” and Khali is “Cacciatore.”
- After finishing From Scratch, I started the memoir An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth, which I heard Molly Huddle talking about in a podcast. I’m digging it so far! Although I do find my mind wandering to work issues when I am reading it. Probably because the author talks a lot about problem solving and that makes me think of work.

I’ve never heard of a dip manicure before, I look forward to hearing if it lasts longer!
I will let you know! I hadn’t heard of it until I started getting gel regularly and asked what the people were doing dipping their fingers in powder. Ha!
I support two podcasts on Patreon and I love it! It’s a nice way to give back to these creators who are spending so much time producing content I love. And with both Patreons, I get a bonus episode each week, which is my favorite thing. More content, you say?! GIMME. 🙂
It is! They put a lot of work in to it! Mine does some bonus content too! Like extended episodes and extra episodes. Yay!
Cacciatore is a very appropriate Italian nickname for a cat, with how much it sounds like “cat” anyway! Is there any reason for how each one of them ended up with their specific nickname?
And it means “warrior” so it’s very appropriate for Khali!
So, we were talking about Bucatini pasta and thought it was such a cute little name, like how Starbuck is cute. So she got that. And the other two took a while. We settled on Quattro Formaggi for Apollo because it’s ridic like him. Ha. And it was between Cacciatore and Mostaccioli for Khalil and Cacciatore just made more sense.
So, long story long, no, we are just crazy. Ha.
