Not Quite Grownup

We're old-ish. Okay, so like, late-30s-old. CK's forehead is still youthful (see our Botox episode), but our energy reserves are depleted (because #teacherlife #momlife). And yet, we went to a concert together and had a blast! CK and GK came back to discuss how it all went and give our fellow geriatric millennials some tips for how to not just ENDURE a concert, but actually ENJOY enjoy a concert. You also get a play-by-play of CK's thoughts during the 2022 Superb-Owl halftime show.

Okay, so Caitlin LIVES to declutter and organize. Remember how she's a "get up and go" self-care person? Her self-care is a project, and a project that involves decluttering and organizing is the BEST project. Here's her advice on how to declutter a space (with a liiiiiitle help from some professionals). Also, we learn what Jenny's Hogwart's House (-ish) is and decide that we really need to declutter this episode.

In part 2 of the ladies' preparation for the Big Game (and the halftime show, because, let's be honest, CK's geriatric-millennial heart is SO STINKING EXCITED), Jenny gives you football basics so that you can understand the game. You also get a blast from the past, courtesy of Angelica Pickles, and Caitlin calls Jenny a nerd. Hey, if the shoe fits... :-)

In part 1 of the ladies' preparation for the Big Game, Caitlin goes full "middle school teacher" on y'all and gives you football vocab for beginners. You know, so that you can understand what the heck your football-lovin' people are saying when they scream at the television. Also, fun fact: did you know that Jenny's favorite animal is a giant squid? Yeah, neither did Caitlin.
