Edition 43

Going to the Chapel!

Dear Gentle & Saucy Yappers,

Everyone and their mother knew someone who got married this past Memorial Day weekend. If you are thinking to yourself: not me! I don’t know anyone who got married…Demi Lovato got married and I know you know her. Please read the following sentence in Pauly D’s voice: I love a wedding at this time of the year!

xoxo, Hailey Girl

RANKING OF THE WEEK: Most Tasty Looking Cartoon Foods

  1. Pizza - specifically the Goofy Movie pizza because that cheese pull was insane

  2. Pancakes - oh we love a cartoon pancake stack

  3. Sub Sandwiches - they are always able to fit an impressive amount of toppings on those bad boys

  4. Honey - specifically Pooh’s honey of course

  5. Thanksgiving Spreads - they know how to feast it up in cartoons

R.E.P.O.R.T.

R: READING

JUST READ: Tell No One: 3.5 stars (82/132 overall ranking)

It was a decent thriller/mystery book but it was nothing special! The book was written in the early 2000’s so it was funny to see how easily the writing was aged because of the technology references. Not a hot take but I would simply live in a panicked state if I was under investigation. I could probably convince my innocent self that I was guilty.

CURRENTLY READING: Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli

Oops here I go again, reading a fantasy book. No I am not reading this by personal choice; it is another book club book. I am going in with an open mind because it does seem I am very much in the minority with my dislike for fantasy books.

E: EATING

Restaurant: Spread Bagelry

I can confidently say that no one loves bagels as much as me. When I’m in a new location, I’m looking for the nearest bagel shop. Spread Bagelry in Savannah, GA did not fail to impress me. My go-to order is always a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. Now I am not big on coffee but it just felt right to have an iced mocha with my bagel sandwich.

P: PLAYING

Music:

I am craving a new Olivia Rodrigo album. I can feel the new era coming. Here is my ranking of Guts while we wait for a new Olivia album!

  1. Get Him Back

  2. Making the Bed

  3. Logical

  4. Teenage Dream

  5. All American B*tch

  6. Bad Idea Right?

  7. Vampire

  8. The Grudge

  9. Love is Embarrassing

  10. Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl

  11. Lacy

  12. Pretty Isn’t Pretty

Song Recommendation: Making the Bed - Olivia Rodrigo

Podcasts: Disgraceful

On the most recent episode of Disgraceful, Grace asked her guest one of my favorite questions: If each of your five fingers could dispense a liquid what would you choose? Mine are: Ice Cold Water (no need for room-temperature), Gasoline (I’m sitting on a gold mine), Coke-Zero (the best soda in existence), Vodka (need to not confuse this finger with my water finger), and Moscato (I love my sweet white wines).

Television: Bob’s Burgers

New Bob’s Burgers episodes are out and I’m not ashamed to admit that I love an adult cartoon. Clearly I’m in a ranking mood this week so here is my ranking of the Belcher family.

  1. Louise - she is iconic

  2. Bob - Dad goals

  3. Tina - the most relatable character

  4. Linda - we have no choice but to support a corny wine mom

  5. Gene - love his one liners but someone had to go last

Movies: Den of Thieves

This is not even close to my typical preferred movie. I would probably never choose this movie but I watched it with someone else. I hate to admit it but this action movie was pretty good. There was a good story line and the movie did not rely too heavily on action scenes (despite the ridiculous cover of this movie - we get it the movie has guns). If you have any desire to watch this movie, Netflix did kindly notify me that it was leaving the streaming app tomorrow so hurry up!

Rating: 6/10

O: OBSESSED

General: Ghost Tours

I’m not sure what my take on ghosts are! I’m somewhere between a believer and a non-believer. Ghosts just aren’t typically on my mind and I’ll be perfectly ok if I don’t have to think about ghosts for the rest of my life. Am I going to stay overnight in an abandoned haunted house? Absolutely not, I’m not stupid. When in a historical town like Savannah, GA, you’ve got to learn about the ghosts! Our tour did take a wild turn from history to haunted house vibes. It was quite unexpected but made me laugh.

Pop Culture: AMA Flop

The American Music Awards came back after being gone for two years. I wasn’t even aware they took a hiatus which says a lot. I’m not sure if this award show will return again after the flop of this year. They could not get a SINGLE artist of the year nominee to show up so they barely presented any awards and most awards were accepted via a call. JLO danced to a medley of the top songs of 2024 because again no one showed up. I did not tune in but from social media the only positive thing I have seen was Renee Rap’s performance. Besides her, the only people I saw at this event were influencers. Oh, and Benson Boone did another flip too.

R: RECOMMEND: Speeches

If you are lucky enough to give a speech at someone’s wedding or big day. Do it! Even if you are terrified of public speaking like myself. I was physically shaking, crying, and nervous laughing in front of a crowd of people and still recommend giving a speech. To prepare, I didn’t watch other Maid of Honor speeches and I definitely didn’t use Chat GPT. Instead I had a notes app on my phone that I started as soon as I knew I was giving a speech. Everytime I thought of a certain memory or emotional sentiment, I wrote it down. Then the night before I left for the wedding (because I still found a way to procrastinate after preparing for a year), I put all my notes together and created a speech. I barely had to add anything because my past self already did the work.

T: TREAT: Fried Green Tomatoes

Don’t fight me. Fried green tomatoes are a treat and they are delicious! Everytime I see these babies on a menu, I will be ordering. I went a little overboard this past weekend and not only got theme as an appetizer but then proceeded to order a fried green tomato BLT for my meal. I’m not sure if tomato haters like fried green tomatoes because they don’t have a tomato taste in my opinion. But to all the tomato haters out there - grow up!

SAUCY TAKE OF THE WEEK: Tesla Ubers

Take out the Elon Musk of it all (yack) and I still hate getting an uber that’s a tesla. As soon as I do, I roll my eyes. I’m not even talking about cyber trucks. I’ve yet to get a cyber truck uber and if I ever do, I might crash out. But Tesla handles - let’s not and they are not roomy cars whatsoever.

YAPPY HOUR: Fear of Couple’s Trips

My worst fear as a single person is not being invited to a friend’s couple’s trip. I love a trip! If I don’t get to be invited because I’m single. That is devastating. I’m down to 3rd, 5th, 7th or 95th wheel! I just want to have fun. If it’s a swinging trip then I guess I understand why me as a single person does not fit in to the dynamic. Otherwise, invite me please! This has never happened to me but it remains my biggest fear because I have FOMO. All future couple’s trips that I am not invited to due to my singlehood I will have to proceed with thinking you are swingers to protect my feelings.
