Houston, what was THAT yesterday? 🌧️ Between the nonstop rain and flood alerts, I spent most of the day under a blanket rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and feeling very grateful for remote work. If enough of y'all are interested, I might have to put together a rainy day guide because sometimes staying home all day starts to feel like a personal challenge.

When the weather finally cooperates, here's a reason to venture back outside. We're giving away a pair of tickets to see Kacey Musgraves at Toyota Center on October 5. Trust me, you'll want your name in this one. Make sure you enter to win!*
