I don't know if this is a thing or not, but I just don't think my husband and I have been invited

very often to go and like stay at somebody else's house. Is that normal? I don't know. I don't know

if it's normal. I guess because we're always inviting people to come here and stay with us.

So maybe my interpretation or my, I guess, perception of what other people do is skewed by that.

And, you know, now that I think about it, my parents parents always always have people coming to stay with them

and I can't think of a time when they have told me oh yeah we're going to stay at so-and-so's out so

maybe you're just like you're the inviter and rarely the invited I need to know if that's true for you

okay things have changed this fourth of July Brett and I were invited to spend it with friends in Lake Tahoe.

So our friend Brooke and her boyfriend, Elijah, have bought this, like, beautiful, gorgeous golf course mansion in Lake Tahoe.

And I think Brooke grew up at least going there in the summers.

So, you know, it's like really nostalgic.

And I don't know about you, but going back to a place that you spent your Fourth of July's, it's just so much nostalgia there.

You know what I mean?

It just really, I think Fourth of July in general takes you back to childhood for many of us.

And so we were excited to be invited and two other couples, so it was going to be a total

of four couples staying at their house for the

4th of July. Okay, most of the couples live, you know, somewhere in the middle of the country,

etc. We live the furthest. We're in Miami. We're going all the way across the country to

basically Reno, Nevada. Okay. So the night before, as per usual, I am finishing a podcast for

Friday and I'm recording it pretty late and I know that once I finish, then I have to pack.

And so, you know, I've already not done a great job of organizing my week.

The last thing I wanted to be doing was recording this podcast super late at night.
