my first rezzie of the year was to get off my computer at 8:30 am to GSD, and then not only did your must-read rezzie email pop through at 8:25 but WE HAD A FUCKIN' EARTHQUAKE (epicenter, right beneath us, apparently. winner, winner) when I was only on #2 meal prep (genius), and now it's (its is the loser in the battle, always) 8:37 and I'm throwing all my rezzies out the window and eat some fudge and sit here waiting for aftershocks. Dammit, 2024, you got me already.

New Year Resolutions? Son, back in the day we had New Year Revolutions. [what I imagine a Haitian dad telling their son, as apparently Jan 1 is Haitian Independence Day, a thing I learned today]/

Love this! When you meet Katie you can tell her you really know her name is spelled Katie Couric. I know one should never correct typos in newsletters but I don’t want you to be embarrassed when you meet her!! Happy new gear.

Fucking brilliant. I just had a FAFO year. I'm on the reverse track of just F-ing working hard. Your rezzies are amazeballs. I am definitely going to make my subscribers wwwellies. Or something. Cause BATheads is brilliant and I can't live my life any further without adopting how genius and catchy. Hope you enjoy the flattery. You're a gem. Good luck with the babe. Please post sleep deprived delirium if you feel like. Or just sleep. Like you said, batheads love you regardless

No rezzies, never. #15 is my life.

Hint: don’t ask Lauren if she wants to go through with this once she’s in active labour, she’ll hit you and walk out. And there’s your answer. Speaking from experience

Happy New Year—New Baby Alex and Lauren! I included Lauren because let’s face it she’s doing most of the “creating” right now.

I choose a word for the year instead of a rezzie so this year’s word is MEND. Because last year was difficult and sad and your newsletter always made me laugh at least once.

I’m an 80s gal and totally here for the valmes! FA without the FO sounds like a blast, I’ll take some of that too. God speed to you, Lauren, Wilder, and Robert as you embark on your next adventure!

# 15 ( ? ) I am practically a Jedi or Zen Master in that regard.

I want to find out if " significant trivia " qualifies as an oxymoron & pursue similar outside - the - box pursuits in 2024.
