I went on a date with a guy once in LA, and when he went to the bathroom, I was like *ok babe do not touch your phone, just look around, look at the people and not your phone so when he comes out of the bathroom, he'll see you looking all tuned in and chin up, and he'll be like wow what an interesting cool girl who doesn't look at her phone*

Then, when he came back from the bathroom, he told me he always goes to the bathroom on dates because he wants to see if the girl immediately gets on her phone.

It felt like 1) hell yeah I won the game, 2) wow were we well-suited assholes, but 3) so nice to not just pull out the phone. It changed the trajectory of my habits in a fundamental way, even if for very, very vain reasons.

Yes to it all and the micro resistance muscle is such a good call. The Wall-e of it all always kills me how close we are.

Cody is a northern Michigan peep?! :D I want to send them to my flower farmer friend on the Peninsula for a bouquet on me.

Thank you, as always, for the insightful content and for digging up equally amaze-balls recs, Holly.

The flower stand is Leelanau Specialty Cut Flowers and Michelle is a wonderful human being (and also lives in Cedar) if you feel inclined to share with Cody.

Holly, the final section is priceless. I almost did not see it and then it felt I stumbled upon a gold mine. Endless gratitude. I would share them again at the top, they are just blowing my mind. Can you tell I related?! Hugs.

I've listened to all of your co-regulation interviews. Super interesting and thought provoking. Sometimes I don't agree with a train of thought, sometimes I do, and sometimes I think, "Huh, I never thought of that before" and off I go and spend time researching that thought. I hope you continue this series. I usually learn something which is refreshing given all the thoughtless noise out there. :)
