Congratulations on finishing up so many projects! It must feel great to have all of those off of the needles/holder yarn/out of the stash. And whoever the socks are for, it’s great timing to have a new pair of warm handknit socks. :) I’ve got a pair of socks on right now, and I find that they’re really just a perfect project size for short attention and busy schedules. I always forget this and go years between pairs!

Re: Mean Girls, my spouse was also a late watcher—we watched it together during our twenties, and I don’t think it landed as well for him as it did for me when I saw it as a new release. Watching stuff that’s become a cultural touchstone like that is always so hit or miss… I really connected with The Breakfast Club when I finally saw it, but then there’s always the risk of thinking that the tropes are tired and the datedness shows through too strongly. But hey, now you can have informed opinions on them!
