Ugh, that's so frustrating when that happens. I've totally been burned by a couple of those before too. Hard to trust them again after that.

My friend Carla had her planner explode with colors during finals week. She said trying to match highlighters to subjects just slowed her down when she was cramming. Now she uses one pen and says it's way less stress, so you're not crazy at all.

My grandpa would always let me sneak extra cookies and it's still my happiest memory.

I used to be so specific when people asked what I do. Learned the hard way at a family barbecue where my uncle's friend cornered me for an hour about a dented quarter panel. Another guy kept showing me pictures of a cracked headlight housing. Now I just say I'm in auto repair and change the subject fast. Giving details turns you into a free estimate machine.

Totally get what you mean about those videos. I went in with a bunch of clips last time and actually got what I wanted. Makes the whole process way less stressful.
