@tigers What’s your favorite corner of Belle Isle? #raindelayquestions

But the experience of being held hostage in an unmoving train for now 5 hours and counting AND continually being told we’re about to push off is absolutely unacceptable. (5/6)

My once a year tweet:
I’d like for buns (as in hamburger buns, hot dog buns) to come in smaller packages. Our 2-person household does not need 8 hamburger buns. Thanks.

I have a very hard time reading full chapter in italics. Can an author/editor explain to me why this is necessary instead of just like denoting at the beginning of the chapter that it takes place in a different time, different voice, etc?

I’m taking a half day tomorrow because I’ve worked some nights/weekend hours and I am planning to put together a bed frame for our 2nd bedroom and I am STOKED. Year 29 is about to be peak?

Out of context quotes in a cat household:

“For once can you just not lick the mayonnaise lid?”

Is there anything more Midwest than meeting people at a restaurant and having a 20 minute conversation in the parking lot BEFORE going in to eat?

[Ashley Zuverink @ash_zuv04]

@TylerGroenendal My cats sit on the little table by the door and cry if I leave the house for a couple hours to go to a partner meeting. It’s bad.

I have never been dreading the drive up north more than I am for tonight. Y’all getting out of metro Detroit right now is chaos. Orange barrel season like I ain’t ever experienced. Send playlists. And Taco Bell.

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Midwestern Units of Measurement:

Next door = 500 feet - 3 miles
A couple minutes away = 5-10 miles
Up North= hand gesture north-ish
Just up the road = 10-20 miles
Not too far = 45 minutes
A lil’ ways = over an hour
Pretty good drive = 2 hours+
Drive down there = literally anywhere

I’m trying to practice not being so W. MI nice about everything (be more confrontational & stick up for myself). Raised my voice a bit at our apartment management folks today about the laundry list of items that I’m unhappy with. Now I’m cowering even though was fully justified.

[Ashley Zuverink @ash_zuv04]

@TylerGroenendal Why they gotta go changing a good thing.

[Ashley Zuverink @ash_zuv04]

James and I kept our last names but I totally get a power high when he gets called “Mr. Zuverink.”

Can we just accept someone having a monopoly on virtual meeting platforms? My computer’s audio system gets mega confused flipping from Zoom to Teams to GoTo to GoogleMeet to insert platform all day. Not to mention the minutes I lose daily trying to fumble through all the logins.

[Ashley Zuverink @ash_zuv04]

@TylerGroenendal There’s one on I-96 east at the Novi exit. It’s totally obnoxious.

[Ashley Zuverink @ash_zuv04]

@syd_stylengrace Damn. Today I learned.

[Ashley Zuverink @ash_zuv04]

@syd_stylengrace SAME GIRL

We booked some flights on Spirit and didn’t catch the auto fill put James’s middle name as my middle name. Was quoted 30 min wait time last night. Finally went to bed after waiting 5 hours. Opened again 7:30am and still waiting. 🤦🏼‍♀️

We like winning. We like beating GB. Too good.
