It's been a sad week in the Shankle house - they had to say good-bye to their beloved Piper - so on this episode Melanie talks about how they're doing (and how Mabel is doing, too). Over here at the Hudson house, we've had a full week in very different ways, and I break down all of that (including my first-ever visit to a podiatrist, because glamour).

We also discuss Melanie and P's night out at a Nate Bargatze show, the latest with the Aggies and the Bulldogs and college baseball, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

On this week's episode we discuss Melanie's big, fun, eventful weekend in College Station and Round Top as well as my much more home-focused weekend (that is to say: kinda boring but delightful). Mel details all the charms of the Junk Gypsy Prom, and - well, I probably talk way too much about pizza dough and asparagus.

We also (naturally) discuss the latest in college baseball, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

On this week's episode Melanie and I process the latest SEC baseball developments as well as talk through the events of our respective weekends (Melanie shopped for jean shorts and I had a really bad headache, so clearly it was some top-notch excitement). On top of that, I share some June's Journey news, and we dig into our feelings about Mary Janes.

Melanie also offers her thoughts on a Netflix show I mentioned several weeks ago, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

This week Melanie has some thoughts and feelings about A&M's parking situation at basketball games, I have (once again) fried some chicken, and both of us are delighted by the prospect of college baseball's opening weekend (as well as captivated by the winter Olympic games - where we have both become experts in a wide array of events thanks to several consecutive minutes of viewing).
