Welcome to Call Your Girlfriend! A podcast for long distance festies everywhere.

I am Aminatu So, and I am Anne Friedman. On this week's agenda love is blind and that is it.

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

Call your girl friend, it's time you had the talk. Give your reasons. Say it's not her fault.

Ready you just met somebody new.

How you doing over there?

I am doing great. I'm feeling a little frazzled, but other than that, you know, just trying to hang in.

I hear that. I am in the midst of an excavation project in my home office.

I realize that I have this behavior where I like things to look really clean.

And so, if something like doesn't have a space, I will shove it in a weird corner.

And it ends up like me building my own like beaver dam around myself where like they're every open space behind like a cabinet or like under something is stuff full of things that I actually probably should have thrown away.

And so, I am ripping everything up out of my office and like giving it all a home. And it feels good.

I love that. I forgot my coat on a plane and I am like going through this like very emotional journey because it truly is a coat that costs like five euros.

I got it at a thrift, like it was like some sort of like thrift estate sale situation.

Is this the navy one?

Yes, it's the navy one. It has such a sentimental value.

And I am just hoping that the lost and found God smile upon me.

So, all of my mood today is subdued because of that.

I'm truly shook that losing something so casual like that can make me feel this way.

I 100% relate to that.

And also, it's why I love secondhand things in general is like they're irreplaceable.

And so, when you lose one, God, I lost this scarf that I used to wear all the time like probably more than a decade ago.
