3 Cocktails In
Addicting conversations between friends who have been there, done that and still want more.
We are 3 friends who got this crazy idea to start a podcast based on our friendships, family lives, professional lives and experiences! This idea kept coming up in our conversations, especially after a cocktail or two or maybe three, and we finally decided to ACT on it!
We don't claim to be experts on too many things, but friendship? Well, we've got that down. We're making our way through major life changes, searching for work that excites us, busting myths associated with 'old' people, and keeping a sense of humor about it all.

What happens when life throws you a whirlwind of change? Amy kicks off the episode with a lively tale of a hurried dash to close a door, setting the scene for a jam-packed conversation about moving back to familiar grounds and navigating single life once more. Then Kitty shares her big leap from the comfort of a corporate marketing job into the unknown terrain of entrepreneurship. We’ll unravel the emotions of resigning from a job that no longer inspired us, and the thrill of setting sail on our own ventures, a jewelry business and the budding project, Hart Matters.

Listen in as we discuss how to prioritize amidst the chaos of new opportunities and the nuances of corporate culture versus authentic connections. Our journey from a side hustle to a full-time business owner is not just about work-life balance but about finding fulfillment beyond a paycheck.

P.S. Isn't our intro music great?! Yah, we think so too. Thank you, Ivy States for "I Got That Wow".
Hello, good evening everyone. Kitty, that was a really quick run. What did you have to?
Speaker 2:go get. I was just going to say I'm going to go get a drink, I'm going to go get a drink. I'm going to go get a drink. I'm going to go get a drink. I'm going to go get a drink. I'm going to go get a drink. I'm going to go get a drink.
Speaker 3:I'm going to go get. I had to close the door. Oh my gosh, she starts the intro we're sitting here, we're sitting and then she gets up and bolts and I'm like, well, stacey knows how to do this, right, because I don't.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I realized the door was open. I needed to close the door. I knew I could make it. Within that span of that intro music, I knew I could make it.
Speaker 5:Good job. So you can get a lot done in 20 seconds. That's right.
Speaker 3:Well, welcome everyone to Three Cocktails In for another addicting conversation. So what's going on? Oh yeah, I got. I got news to share.
Speaker 5:You do.
Speaker 3:I can't remember the last time when we recorded, did I tell you, did I tell?
Speaker 4:y'all that I got moved back to my old neighborhood. I think you told us, but I think we need to let our listeners know this.
Speaker 5:Yes, I don't think you did online no.
Speaker 3:So this happens occasionally and I knew that I would be getting moved out of my neighborhood at one point and you don't have a say in the matter.
Speaker 5:I mean unless you want to say bye-bye for work for work.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:Yes, for work. This is work. I'm staying in my home, my homestay. I we had a sales meeting. We all sat there and then they said, hey, can these people stay afterwards? And it was a bunch of us, new people and the two people sitting on each side of me were like, oh man, are we getting fired? Are we getting fired? I'm like I'm in my quota, I'm not getting fired. I'm like we're not getting fired. And I found out that, um, they're transferring me from my neighborhood house where I lived for 18 years. That's crazy, it is. It is so, you know, I didn't know how I felt about it because, you know, divorce moved out of that whole area. You know, whatever, it's been three years. It's fine. But went out today and checked out the model that I'm going to be working out of and it's stunning and invited Kitty to come over and look. And then we went and had a cocktail at lunch. Yes, we did so that was pretty good.
Speaker 4:Yeah, um, so did they? Not that it makes any difference at all? Did they know that you used to live across the street?
Speaker 3:yeah, yeah, they, they. Well, they knew I lived in Chaska and they made a comment about when they hired me. They knew that I would be selling in Chaska. They just waited a year to do it. Oh, just fine. Just fine, and it's a beautiful neighborhood, and it really is. It used to be part of our walk that we did all the time We'd kind of walk this loop over there. So I am incredibly familiar with the area and I'm super excited about the homes that are out there. So to all my Chaska friends, I fully expect that you will be dropping in and saying hello, and my work, my, my weird work week has changed, so now I have Thursday and Fridays off, which I think might help the old social life. I think so, yeah, yeah, cause I'm back to being single again.
Speaker 4:Okay so this is also big news.
Speaker 3:New? Yeah, I guess I don't know. I haven't seen him in, you know so yeah, okay, so there's that.
Speaker 5:Do you want?
Speaker 3:to talk about it. No, that's a long one for another day. I'll share stories another day, because I do have some funny stories about, about not necessarily about him, although I could, um, but yeah, so okay, yeah, anybody else got anything kind of cool to share?
Speaker 4:um well, my plan actually tonight was to hijack the show oh, oh, really so I've been sitting on something, you guys.
Speaker 3:Is it comfy?
Speaker 4:That doesn't sound right. That really doesn't sound right. I quit my job on Monday.
Speaker 5:Wow, you mean your full-time job, your full-time job, correct? Yes, full-time job. Oh, full-time job, correct? Yes, full-time job.
Speaker 3:Oh Okay, Spill Talk to me. Talk to me Right. This was yeah. You gave no indication.
Speaker 4:I had no idea this is why I say that I've been, I've been sitting on this for a while. Um, if you talk to Bill, you would hear you. He, you know he would say what. You didn't talk to them about this Cause I've been talking to him about it for six months, I don't know, maybe even longer, maybe even a year, um, but so this is interesting, that we are coming upon one year of the podcast also yes.
Speaker 4:Yes, and as I've been reflecting on this, um, you know, I think back to when we started this, amy. You were going through big changes and I knew that there was something in my future. I knew that there was. I knew that there was a change that I wanted to make. I just didn't know what it was yet.
Speaker 4:And the my day job. I'm using the air quotes for those of you who are listening. I don't know why I'm using my job. You know, I have spent my entire professional career in the corporate marketing world, primarily in a business development role, and I've loved it. I am very proud of what I've done over the span of my career. I've been challenged by it. I've learned so much. I've made challenged by it. I've learned so much. I've made great friends and I think we can all agree that COVID changed a lot of things, and maybe it was the combination of that and then being in our mid-50s, but I just really started to listen more to this internal voice saying to me are you really loving what you're doing? And I kept answering the question by saying it's okay, and we talk about that here all the time. Thank you for not using that F word?
Speaker 4:Yeah, fine, it's fine, we don't want. Fine, we don't want, it's just okay and it's not. You know, company that I worked for is great. The people are great. I, you know there are people there that I'm going to miss terribly, but I knew that it was holding me back from doing something that I really love doing and something that I think I can scale even more and have it be bigger and grander than what I'm doing now. So I, after talking about it and talking about it and talking about it, and Bill just finally saying why do you keep talking about it? Just do it. And I kept saying is it irresponsible? Is it irresponsible? So I mean, there's so much on this topic that we can talk about and we'll probably. It can probably branch off into into other conversations and other episodes, but it just came down to I was ready and I did find some comfort in it, like I'm like okay, yeah.
Speaker 4:Because, everybody that I would talk to about it. Um, they would say when you are ready to go and do your own thing, cause that's what I'm doing now. I'm doing now I'm going all in on my jewelry business and I'm launching another business called Heart Matters. And you know, everybody said when you're launching your own thing, yes, it's scary.
Speaker 3:But you know what, if it's not scary, yeah yep, so yeah, that's a lot kitty and very courageous. Thank you, um, so you've been with this company for a while. I need to know the details. Oh, I, I want to know. How did this go?
Speaker 5:well, you know, come on yeah you know and what took so long. You know why.
Speaker 4:All of a sudden you know, after thinking about it and thinking about it, why now yeah um, I mean, I just always felt like there were things that were in the works there that I just kept saying, well, I need to finish this, I need to make sure this is in a good place. I need you know so, and maybe that was just my way of justifying staying longer, um, but I think I'm I'm grateful for some things. That kind of escalated it toward toward the end. And you know, as it's a, it's a, it's a sales driven organization, um, it's a service business.
Speaker 4:Um, sales is hard, yeah, um it just it doesn't matter what industry you're in. You know it's sales is challenging and it becomes more and more challenging as we, as people and decision makers whether you're making a purchase decision for your business or for you as a person and a household we buy things differently than we used to. So, you know, we're always trying to adapt to that to be successful in sales, always trying to adapt to that, um, to be successful in sales. And, um, you know, I I think I just found that I wasn't inspired anymore really to, to, to sell, um, and so there were some changes happening at the company and, you know, a new person coming in to lead the team. It was shared with me that there would be some changes coming for me, and that's why I say I think it was sort of a good thing that some of these things were happening that allowed me to say, all right, it's time, yeah, it's time, and I think this will work out for me. It'll work out for them.
Speaker 4:And there's nothing wrong with that, right, absolutely so it. So when I went in Monday morning to resign, you know you never know. If it's going to be okay, I'm resigning and I'm giving you two weeks notice, or them saying, well, we need you to help transition things, or if it's going to be, oh, you've resigned, then today's your last day Going in. I knew it would be one or the other, and it's pretty customary when you are in a sales role that it's the latter, it's okay, then you're done today and that's what happened. So I went in Monday, gave my notice. I was home by about 1130.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 3:You know, I mean that's, that's. This is kind of just a silly little thing about the whole thing. But the whole idea of immediately ushering somebody out after they resign, do you not think that they've already thought about the whole resigning thing and could have taken whatever they wanted out of the system long before then? That's just one.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I mean, if you're firing somebody.
Speaker 4:It's different than you know what but yeah, yeah, exactly, I know, and and I you know, the answer is always well, it's a formality, you know, at this point it's it's business, it not personal. But you don't have to make it weird.
Speaker 1:You don't make it weird.
Speaker 4:I mean, did it feel weird? Um, it felt a little bit weird. You know I wasn't. I didn't talk to anybody, I quietly moved my things out of the office into my car. You know the person that I resigned to. You know he didn't say well, you know, do you want to say goodbye to anybody? It was just I need you to leave now and it's just, you know. For for companies who say that we're a family.
Speaker 2:For for companies who say that we're a family.
Speaker 4:This is another topic we need to talk about you guys. Oh yeah, yes, we need to talk about this topic we're not family.
Speaker 3:No, no, because in the end, you're not at all no because if you were family, you would have had a you, there would have been words. Yeah, yeah, you know we don't treat our coworkers like we treat family. Yeah, yeah, and you know rightly so, because sometimes you battle with your family. But you know, yeah, that would be a great topic. Fortunately, I'm working with a company that does not say that. I know I mean not that they're mean or whatever, but you know that's not. I think that's yeah.
Speaker 4:Crap. So whole new, whole new deal, you guys. And so Tuesday morning I woke up and I'm like, and you know I've texted a couple of people and a couple of people have reached out and I've just said I cannot stop smiling.
Speaker 5:There is, so you know it's the right decision then.
Speaker 4:Yes, yep, I can't stop smiling and I just feel like there's just all of this opportunity around me, and sometimes I'm a little paralyzed because I'm like, okay, well, I need to do, I need to do that, oh, but I should probably do this before I do that. And so I've got these massive calendar sheets that I'm. First thing I need to do is, even though I'm kind of all over the place right now, even though I've been mentally preparing for this for like six months, it's almost as if I hadn't been, because, truly, if I had really started the process, I wouldn't have been able to even continue doing my job. It's not just one foot out the door, you're two feet out the door, right? Um, so I really feel like now I'm starting, yeah.
Speaker 3:Reminds me just a little bit about, like, when I was thinking about getting divorced. I knew I needed to do it. I knew it, you know, and I thought about it way before I actually said anything about it. And then you say something, then that starts everything in motion, and then you're like and now what you know? Yes, oh, I could do this, I could do that, but do I actually have a plan here, do you know? And so you know, you're it's a good feeling, that kind of wide open, but also, um, sometimes we call it decision fatigue. There's so many decisions that you can make and so many choices that you get tired and a little paralyzed, a little frozen about. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:Now what to do.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So how cool, how cool and I love this that you're doing this and I'm working back in Chaska cause now we can have lunch. I know I'm working back in Chaska because now we can have lunch. I know I made Kitty have a cocktail today at lunch. She's like oh well, we're doing that. I'm like yes, we are. I'm like it's Wednesday, like, so what does Wednesday mean? Now it's Wednesday at noon.
Speaker 4:Still a work day for me, yes. Yeah, still a work day for me, yes.
Speaker 5:Yeah, besides that, you know all of the changes. That frees up a lot of time for you. You know you were working your 40 plus hour regular job and your side hustle and podcast. You know a lot. So what is your work week look like now? Yes, so that's a lot so what is your work week look like?
Speaker 4:now. Yes, so I'm time blocking, and one of the things that I really wanted to get back to is I'm totally starting backwards. I'm starting from. I need to go to bed at 10 o'clock. So I am right. This is what I mean by I'm starting backwards. So I am right, this is what I mean by I'm starting backwards. I'm starting at the end of the day.
Speaker 4:How do I make the day efficient for me? Um, and allow me to go to bed at 10 o'clock? Because, probably, as you said, stacy, working the full-time job, working good glam and doing podcast, um, I would you know that alarm's going off at five and there are a lot of nights I don't. I wasn't going to bed till midnight. So, um, back to trying to get seven hours of sleep. That would be great. Um, so, up in the morning at six? Um, those early morning hours. I love those early morning hours, especially now as we start to go into fall and winter. I love those early morning hours, especially now as we start to go into fall and winter. I love being up when it's dark, having a little light on, going down to the kitchen making my coffee. You know, just having little lights on. I'm even. I'm one of those people I used to love driving to work before the sun came up, loved it.
Speaker 5:You have to be the minority.
Speaker 3:I would think so too. I don't know if you saw the face, but when you said being up in the dark, I'm like no, no.
Speaker 4:Yes, I feel like I'm getting a jump on everybody else.
Speaker 5:True, true. And you can still do that by working at seven, like I do. You have to work at seven, not five.
Speaker 3:I think that's too high a price to pay to get a jump on everybody else.
Speaker 5:When the season becomes, you know, dark in the morning and dark when you get home, I hate, yeah, that, yeah. Well, we're coming on to that pretty soon, yeah. So, yeah, we should make that a question on our um, you know social media is it?
Speaker 2:are you a morning person like?
Speaker 5:kitty or are you a?
Speaker 4:you know yeah, we need a poll, we need you a poll okay, I mean get my list, get my list here okay, okay okay, so it's, but I'm not setting my alarm for five.
Speaker 4:So bill has his alarm set for 5 30 and he is very good that alarm goes off and he gets up. So I'm having my up time at six and then that hour from six to seven is some physical activity and we've got a gym here in our house so I can get you know. I can go down there, I can walk, I can do, I want to pull up those Ashton August YouTube yoga. Oh my gosh, when I was home during COVID I did that every morning and loved that. So I want to get back to my yoga and just have some good physical activity right away in the morning and then get ready, have coffee. I've got computer time blocked off, so I've just got very specific tasks for this.
Speaker 4:So for those of you who might not know what my side hustle is, my business that's now not my side hustle. Now my full time is called Good Glam. It's fashion jewelry. Everything that I'm wearing is in the paparazzi jewelry that I carry, and I do live shows on Facebook. So during the day it's going to be, you know, just kind of prepping and getting ready for shows and building my customer base. And I am going to add in some new daytime shows to try to reach some new customers and I'm going to scale this thing.
Speaker 3:Good for you, yeah, and you're not going to be up till midnight packing and invoicing.
Speaker 4:Nope, and I'm shifting everything. So I would normally do invoicing and shipping on Saturday Sunday. I'm now shifting that to Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 3:Nice.
Speaker 4:So, so, so we will have a weekend and you know Bill has been so supportive and he helps with with the shows and everything, um, but over these three years that I've been doing the jewelry business, my time with him, uh, and just our time on the weekend, it's just gone, it's completely disappeared. So that you know this will allow us to to have that back. So I'm, you know, looking at it. I walked away from a full-time salary, yeah, and so you know this was one of the. I think this was probably the thing in the back of my mind that kept saying is this an irresponsible decision? But the way that I look at it is, apparently, that full-time salary wasn't fulfilling for me and I want the freedom. I want the freedom, I want the ability to build my own thing. I don't want to work for anybody else anymore, I want to work for me, and those things became more important to me than that paycheck, yeah.
Speaker 3:When you find what, it just need time to do it right. And you know, like we've said numerous times, if it doesn't work out, you can go do something else. We can always go, do you know? I mean, if not now, when?
Speaker 2:yeah, you know try it.
Speaker 3:Try it, go for it. Give it all you got. You've got the time for it now. You've got you years.
Speaker 5:If you're like, Go ahead yeah go We've talked about it where we have friends that we know that just will not make a change. They hate what they're doing but will not take a risk and jump and do something else. Yeah, and you're doing it. You're doing your. You know you're making this leap of faith that you'll grow your business. Yeah, who knows, maybe you'll end up as the ceo of paparazzi.
Speaker 4:We don't know oh, you'd be back to working nights and weekends again yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think I, I don't think I need to do that.
Speaker 3:It's very exciting.
Speaker 4:Thank you. I couldn't wait to tell you guys. And then I was thinking well, no, I'm going to save it. I'm going to save it for a recording night.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was a, that was big that was bigger than me going back to Chaska, yeah, big changes.
Speaker 2:It's not a contest though.
Speaker 3:No. So Stacey, how are you going to top that one?
Speaker 5:I got nothing.
Speaker 3:In honest I got nothing. No, no, lottery ticket win. You didn't win. No, you got to buy a ticket to win, oh yeah.
Speaker 5:I've heard that too. Yeah, no, I got to buy a ticket to win.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I've heard that too.
Speaker 5:Yeah, no, I really have nothing. Like I said, this is our busy season. It's starting to ramp up and be busy, and so I just feel like I run back and forth and then get on my laptop and then you know it's tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, not much, not much new it's.
Speaker 3:I can tell the weather is starting to feel good now, you know. I mean it's still kind of warm, but it's a cooler breeze, it's a little. It was blustery as all heck today, but yes, it was now I'm liking that where you get to wear the, the jeans and like a light sweater, not like a big heavy one sort of deal yeah. I know.
Speaker 4:I love it, so I I posted this morning over on my over on my business page or or no, I don't remember. Yeah, I think it was today About. So what is your favorite fall? You know, what do you like to pull out now that it's fall, basically and I always give some options Cozy scarf, big oversized sweater, or cozy, cozy scarf, um big, uh oversized sweater, or you know sweatshirt, or um boots, like you know, stylish boots, yeah, and I've got some customers that are in Southern climates and so one of them posts, one of them commented, and they said none of the above. It's still hot here and it got me thinking. So, people who live in the southern climates, and I messaged her back and I haven't gone back yet to see if she responded. But for people who live in southern climates, do they change anything with the seasons? Do they change decor?
Speaker 4:I mean what?
Speaker 3:does fall decor look like in Houston?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:I should ask. Well, I know Madeline and maybe this answers that question. So Madeline's husband, alex, grew up in North Carolina. He loves Halloween, so, like the whole month of Halloween, they're the ones that have the 12 foot skeleton in the front yard which I'm sure their neighbors were excited about. So maybe that's what you know. The big thing is the cute little. I don't. I don't know how you could, you couldn't carve a pumpkin. It rotten like a day down there. Yeah, yeah, I wonder if they decorate for the holiday, not the season.
Speaker 5:That would make more sense, because they wouldn't have the nice fall colors like we do, right, yeah.
Speaker 4:Very interesting question. Let's do a little bit more research on this topic.
Speaker 3:We would need some uh listener participation yes, we would yeah yeah, um, speaking of fall things, I told kitty I roasted a pan of the honey roasted root vegetables, so parsnips, carrot, sweet potatoes, and I did a full pan of a butternut squash that I have here. So, um, and Kitty told me that I had to go grocery shopping today because evidently two yogurts and a half of leftover bag of microwave popcorn weren't enough in my house, so took them right from the pan and put them in my little containers so I can just take them and go to work. Perfect, yeah, so that's kind of fall food for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Now you're thinking about the butternut squash risotto I'm going to have to, I know, yeah.
Speaker 3:I think I am going to make the risotto and toss that whole thing together. It's so dang good we should share that recipe.
Speaker 5:That is one of our favorites, yeah.
Speaker 4:I think you can do it.
Speaker 3:I think I'm just going to do it. The easy way slow it, not the risotto stir forever way no, I will do that, I will do the stir for for forever. But I'm not, I don't know, I just, I already, I guess I already cooked the butternut squash so that's not done.
Speaker 5:yeah, you just put it in at the end. Yeah, yeah, I can't remember. Is that an Ina Garten recipe? Seems like it might be.
Speaker 4:I think so.
Speaker 1:Yeah it is.
Speaker 3:I could probably pull out which one it is and find it from all the splatters all over the page.
Speaker 4:It's always a good sign.
Speaker 3:Then it's going to be chicken corn chowder and that shrimp chowder.
Speaker 5:We usually make a shrimp chowder one a couple of times.
Speaker 3:That would be good. Okay, here's my problem. You know, working in a model home, people come in you never know when they're coming in. And, yes, there's a wonderful microwave. I can heat stuff up, but some of the food makes the whole kitchen smell. No, that chowder, those chowders would yeah, yeah. So you have to be careful about what I'm ordering. I'm not ordering anymore. No, I'm ordering DoorDash. No, not DoorDashing. Oh my God, there you go. Mm-mm, no more, although I might have earned enough miles to fly somewhere based on how much I was getting charged for DoorDash. Do you bring a lunch every day, st?
Speaker 5:I'm a lunch snacker, you know, like same same of yogurt, and I'll have a granola bar and I'll have peanut butter and crackers and I'll have. You know what I mean. It's more like that stuff.
Speaker 4:I don't pack a lunch, you're organized enough to have the have that kind of stuff that you grab from the house in the morning and you take to work, or it's in my desk drawer or in the refrigerator at work.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yep, kitty. What's the lunch policy going to be at your new work? Well, it's um. And what's your vacation policy?
Speaker 4:Um it's unlimited.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's something we should also throw in, because that's also a scam. Work like a family Work is family Unlimited PTO.
Speaker 4:Yeah, work is family, unlimited pto. Yeah, you know. Honor system, of course. Um, yeah, I'll have a a weekly meet, weekly meeting every monday morning with who? Um myself, myself. There you go.
Speaker 3:Hey, are you going to bring donuts and coffee to your Monday meeting?
Speaker 4:Definitely yes.
Speaker 3:You might have to go back down and have your meeting down the hill. See if you could maybe round up the fellas, the fellas.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 3:Get the band back together.
Speaker 4:We should get the band back together, except a couple of them have passed away.
Speaker 3:Now you've got to make a group, take auditions for new band members.
Speaker 5:You might want to explain that story a little further.
Speaker 4:Yes, oh, my gosh, Okay, real quick. Years ago I stumbled upon a group down at my local caribou, so I would go in every morning and I would always park and go in. I didn't go through the drive through and go in and order my coffee and leave, and there was this group of men who were sitting in the front part of the caribou every single day, every day except Thursday, Um, and so it just started with you know, them saying hey, you know, and then I say hi, and eventually it was what you know, what do you do? And so eventually they said sit down.
Speaker 5:And I mean, I'm like these are.
Speaker 4:you know, these are older guys, they are retired.
Speaker 4:Most of them looked retired, yeah, and they welcomed me into the group and I would. Then I started getting down there earlier, so I would usually be down there by 6 am and we would, you know, have coffee. We'd talk about business, all sorts of different topics, and they were so interesting. One was a retired architect, one was a retired CEO of a public company, one who was still working was in the House of Representatives, one was an anesthesiologist. Uh, so they were all. They all had these really amazing careers and backgrounds and they were all so smart and it was just kind of cute how they welcomed me into the group. I'm, you know, young enough to be their daughter, I guess. Probably, maybe, I don't know. Anyway, that's what it felt like, um, so, did you?
Speaker 4:yes, they, they adopted me and then, um, COVID, and they all kept in touch. Still, um, I kind of fell away from the group, um, but I am still on the email chain. So they send me you know the super bad, inappropriate emails and then an update on the schedule. So you know, like cause they change it from summer to fall, they move to a different coffee shop, so, uh, I'm going to have to make an appearance, yeah.
Speaker 5:There you go, I'm back.
Speaker 3:That's fun though. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm so excited for you. Thank you, guys, I'm so excited.
Speaker 4:Thank you, and now you know what I'm going to do right now, Instead of having to go and spend two or three hours setting my show for tomorrow night it's 8 o'clock and it's October. I'm going to go upstairs and see if Bill wants to find a scary movie. Are you going?
Speaker 3:to watch the scary movie upright, so you'll stay awake through the whole thing. That should also be hashtag goal for you. Kitty sleeps halfway through every movie, it's true.
Speaker 4:It's true, I don't know. We'll see, yep.
