Sweet-Talk-Time

An amount of time designated for sweet-talk, necessary for those who don't often express their feelings.

John doesn't talk much about his feelings. He shows me that he loves me which is beautiful and more than enough, but sometimes I just really want to hear it, too. So we now have a few minutes of designated sweet-talk-time.

Outfit-Anxiety

When you're stressing about what to wear to an event, or even some every day thing.

I've gotten so used to wearing my pandemic-pants, that I had total outfit-anxiety while getting ready for Candi and Ben's wedding. I had it all picked out, ready the night before, then changed my mind shortly before walking out the door and changed the whole thing. What's the point of all the anxiety? As if anyone cares!

1999-ing

When you make a phone call without having an appointment to make a phone call.
Just pick up the phone and call - imagine!

Because of the lockdown I don't take anything for granted, and have been 1999-ing old friends to re-connect. We never know when it's going to be too late, so just call and re-connect right now!
