Wow. My non-rabble life is seriously kicking my ass right now. Well, let’s be honest, my rabble life is probably kicking my ass right now too.
You probably feel me on that. How tired are you?
I’m so tired the bags under my eyes have become suitcases.
I’m so tired I thought today was spring when there’s a snowstorm outside my window.
But okay, something that cheered me up this week was rabble’s boss lady sending a note to all my social media accounts to make sure I knew Dairy Queen was giving away free ice cream. We have our priorities straight here. Don’t even worry.
So take a deep breath and a nice, relaxing break with this week’s Feel Good Friday and then GET BACK TO WORK OH MY GAWD!!!

It’s 2050. Feminism has taken over the planet. Protein powder is banned, ‘The Craft’ is a reality and catcalls are literal. (Take me to this paradise please.)
-
Speaking of catcalls, here are some approved statements, for example: “I bought this expensive block of brie with herbs, but I think I want you to have it.”
-
“It [was] a total girl-power year around here.” These women farmers are sustaining the land.
