Top 5 quote: “Letting the common prayer of the human condition serve as the golden thread connecting us all as one. Reminding me, once again, that despite all our differences — man/woman, democrat/republican, chocolate/vanilla, morning people/night owls, right-handed/left-handed — we are all of us struggling. No one knows what they are doing. And deep down, we all just want the same things. Gah, it’s so simple and yet so hard.” Love it…..
Is that hilarious? Like we just had our big company kick off in a big ballroom off the bottom of those stairs he goes down in the video I shared. And a fun happy hour alongside the big wall that in the show has the menacing big Cold War-vibe face on (obvs in real life it's just a big blank wall that has our company logo sitting at the bottom. Random!
Fun facts: We've been in the office while they were filming and my coworker and I thought we were stallking Adam Scott and sent a pic we took to her husband who was like: That is not Adam Scott. ;) Also, we showed up for work one day in June and there was snow on the ground, which they'd pumped in for filming exterior shots. I'm gonna get around to rewatching season one and then dive into season 2!
My sons and I have become obsessed with the show. It started slow but ended up really pulling us in. The fact that we know the building makes the show even more interesting.
Wow, it’s like reading my own life. Mom, writer, empty nester rented house too cold, goldendoodle in my face. I hope our paths cross sometime! I love what you’re doing.
Robin!! We're doppelgangers!! We should start a club: The Empty Nest Goldendoodle Moms. Or something. Glad we've found each other!! Tell your friends!! I'm getting so pushy!! xo
The Goldendoodle Girls? I’ll pass it on. I created my blog/authors website four years ago and still haven’t hit Publish because I’m too self-conscious. So I seek inspiration from brave warriors like you. I’ll let you know when I finally launch, it’s called Save as Draft because that’s what they are. I’ve got a true crime story going to publication shortly. It’s totally not on brand for me at all but you could say it happened right in front of me. I have a weird life. On another note, I’m told by some people (as Trump would say) —some of these people don’t even like me that much — that I’m pretty damn funny in my stories. I want to tackle a humor book and will be seeking a partner to do such. I’ll be holding off for 6 to 12 months on it because my husband just passed and probably not at my funniest ever. The truth is there’s been a lot of funny stuff around it, but I don’t think the world’s ready for this yet. Anyhoo, food for thought. Keep up your brilliant work. Smiles, Robin
Oh Robin, I am so so sorry for your loss and sending a big virtual hug. That's a lot of adjustment. Also, why do funny things happen during the most inappropriate times? While you're navigating all the change in your life, I'm so happy to have you here and please you need to tell us when you're ready to turn that website ON. xo

I cannot stress it enough. We're all just a bunch of bozos on the bus. xo
“Letting the common prayer of the human condition serve as the golden thread connecting us all as one” —I love this line so much.
Your Frozen River review is quite a bit more gentle than mine. LOL.
Ha! You're a tough literary customer! xo
I love that you work in this building!! Hotel Portofino looks great! (Can you work there next? :) ) Thank you for this rec! xx
Liz! I imagine the hotel portofino backdrop to be similar to that *dreamy* writing retreat you taught at in Italy! xo
I dream of returning there daily!!
I love your writing. Didn’t know how much I’ve missed it. I miss you too. Will subscribe again. ♥️.
Amy, you are missed as well! So glad we've found our way back to each other (virtually!). xo
I cannot believe you work in that building 👀 😆

My husband and I are *obsessed* with this show!

Mar, come meet me for a coffee and really take in the weirdness of the place!!

Wait, also: Goldendoodle Girls. LOL I could get behind that.
Also huge Hoda fan. So sorry she left the today show. Her morning boost was a favorite. Good to know she’s up to something new can’t wait to see it
If you need your daily dose of Hoda (and aren't already), give her a follow on Instagram she's always posting her something inspirational. xo
