Today’s quote: “Therapy should have open houses like elementary school so my therapist can meet everyone I talk about” - @steadfastcounseling 
 
Inspired by Annie Downs, “That Sounds Fun”, Amy & Kat talk about making a list of things that sound fun to you during the stressful holiday season (rather than just focusing on the things that sound like a drag on your to do list). Ideas include:
 

Grabbing your favorite coffee drink
Baking chocolate chip cookies
Hiking in the woods 
Reading a good book
Singing carpool karaoke 
Have a game night
Curling up by a fire
Learning something new 

 
What sounds fun to you?? Make a list! 
 
Amy & Kat have fun playing The Toast’s “When You Know The Words To The Song” Game 
 
Other topics discussed:

Cooking for the holidays (links to Amy’s fav recipes below!)
Apple TV’s “Lessons in Chemistry” (spoiler alert!) and other shows that remind us of the double standards women used to face
Do you feel stressed when trying to verify you're not a robot?? 
Amy’s picture frame TV doesn’t actually have a frame…
Amy bought Kat something inappropriate for her Bachelorette party on Etsy 
PTL = Praise the Lord 

 
Amy’s Recipes: 
Alabama Mac & Cheese
Cinnamon Rolls & Sausage Gravy
Sweet & Salty Grilled Cheese
 
Bonus quotes: 

“The future is going to be crazy” 
“Today I completed a chore that I’ve been putting off for 6 months. It took 15 minutes. I will learn nothing from this” 
“I love the concept of being somebody’s peace, but unfortunately I’m insane”
