Another weekend has arrived. I don’t know about you, but I am WIPED OUT this week. (Maybe the Olympics have taken it out of me.) I hope all of you have a restful and/or fun weekend ahead.
The Olympics end this Sunday with the closing ceremony. We’ve had great fun in the live chats at Drinks With Broads. Today’s chat lives here! (As you can imagine, yesterday’s comments — on women’s figure skating and the women’s ice hockey — were FULL BLAST and so fun.)
We didn’t have a Tuesday issue this week because of Presidents Day, but the Thursday edition tackled Love Story, the new Baywatch, and a possible Gilded Age time jump. Here at GFY, we had a rollicking What Are You Reading? chat in case you need some new books for your TBR. I also rounded up a bunch of cozy transitional pants.
I was on Extra Hot Great this week — available wherever your podcasts pop up. It was a fun episode and I got to talk about how I hate Marky Mark.
Gosh, I was so sorry to hear about Eric “McSteamy” Dane’s death. As I said to Heather yesterday, at least our main memories of him are him being OUTRAGEOUSLY HOT, and that’s not nothing.

YAY for the wolf dog who escaped his home to join the cross-country skiers this week. He was bored and that race looked fun!! Give him a medal!

I love Eadem’s lip glosses so I’m excited to try their new dark spot treatment — it apparently dries like a little patch you peel off, which seems fun. I have a spot on my hand that I’d love to fade, so I’ll report back.
Also, if you’re a fan of Lake Pajamas, heads up that they’re having their annual sale right now. I haven’t tried these but I’ve only heard good things. (And also that you should size up.)
