🫠 I used ChatGPT to help craft a 12-month training plan for a division that’s beginning to focus more on public speaking and presenting. I included this:
Transparency statement: Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT) was utilized in the creation of this plan. ChatGPT output was prompted by, supervised by, edited by, and refined by (Me), (My Title).
So basically I was Prince. (“Produced, arranged, composed, and performed by Prince” is on all of his albums).
🤬 A family of about eight million people complete with a loud ass kid screaming absolute bloody murder at the top of his lungs is ahead of me at the salon, where only two stylists are working. Getting a haircut is usually a favorite thing I get to do.
Not today.
Word to the not-very-wise: DON’T take your entire effing family and all twenty of your bratty little snot nosed ankle biters to the salon all at once on a Sunday morning, completely taking over the place and ensuring a miserable experience for everyone around you.

✴️ I guess I was focused today but I really only got one thing done done. Granted the one thing was made up of a zillion little things, but still. I had a lot of do-overs, too. I guess it’s all good learning, though, so it’s ok.
So they’re releasing a remake of The Color Purple. At first I thought it’d be a terrible idea, but I saw the trailer at the movie theater last night, and it actually looks pretty amazing. Producers include Oprah, Quincy Jones, and Steven Spielberg.
I truly wonder what in the hell has changed about our home in three years that it increased in value by over $60,000 according to the county auditor. We’ve made no improvements, had no renovations, zip.
I looked at comparable nearby home values and I think we’re all up the same creek.
We had a wonderful dinner date tonight. Michael is always at the top of my gratitude list. Always. Here are some photos we snapped of each other at the restaurant. Aren’t we a pair of hams?
