We can all acknowledge that we've walked into a room and forgotten what we went in there for, right? Sure we can. Or how about when you look all over the place for your sunglasses and they're perched on top of your head? Preach. But I absolutely died a thousand deaths at the oil change place this week when I forgot which stick was the turn signal and which was the windshield wiper. Oil change guy laughed, said it happens 👏🏼all 👏🏼the 👏🏼time. 🤦🏻♀️
🇺🇸For a schedule of all things inaugural today, I tried to find the least polarizing source that I could. If all you really care about is when Lady Gaga sings the National Anthem, tune in between 10:15-10:30 central.
😷Pardon me, are you in line? ADPH is rolling up its sleeves so we can roll up ours and get the Covid-19 vaccine. Text INFOJEFFCO to 888777 for deets on the when's and where's.

Fave craves
So I'm noticing that Piggly Wiggly has Wickles Pickles and pints of Blue Bell Ice Cream on sale this week. Jackpot for the pregnant mamas out there! Cliché or not–that stuff's delish. Be a dear and bring her a spoon.

Let's be frank
I don't think anyone has more fun in a bun than the dynamic duo that gets to drive the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. I still have my wiener whistle from the 80s when I caught up with the four-wheeled frankfurter as a kid. It's in Birmingham til Jan. 23 if you're hankering for one of your own!
Adorable + adoptable
Jupiter listens like spring and she talks like June at GBHS.
What's a klutz to do?
There comes a time when we must admit the bag of dry rice just isn't doing the trick. Broken cell phones and laptops happen and now that the Apple Store at The Summit has temporarily closed, what's a klutz to do? The semi-geniuses at 6 local shops can put your Apples back together.
🐼Calling all pandas
A full-scale bamboo manufacturing facility is coming to Alabama bringing 111 jobs–and who knows how many pandas–to Lamar County. Homewood's Resource Fiber has done its homework on bamboo as a renewable resource. I hope they use a panda for a logo. (No actual pandas are coming. Please remain calm).
