Just me referencing the change in PFP Meme from the Office with Pam in the bottom after tricking colleague into finding the difference between each pictures. Original text at bottom would say: They’re the same picture The two pictures above in this case are MY DAPPER PENGUIN persona a handsome penguin with a party hat and tuxedo and my new doodle persona complete with large round glasses, happy expression and a poof of red curly hair, mustard-colored sweatshirt Text: THEY’RE THE SAME PEN

screenshots from A FINE LINE: background a woman's exposed back in a dress, a man's hand caresses her spine with his knuckles "We're not talking about that either. As a matter of fact, it's probably wise that we don't get comfortable speaking to each other once—" She pauses that train of thought, and I can only imagine one place she means to go. "We shouldn't get too comfortable speaking to each other after we make each other come," I guess wryly. She sighs. "I really hate that you know how." I saunter towards her, giddy with that one fine thread of triumph. I brush her hair behind one ear. "I know, Cricket, but I promise you don't hate one minute of it while we're there."

Think Leslie Knope’s city council run in Parks and Recreation, the banter and teasing of Josh and Donna’s relationship in The West Wing, and the steamy, small town ‘with benefits’ set up in B.K. Borison’s Business Casual.

A rivals to lovers romance where the sparks between the campaign managers are hotter than the competition. Calliope Simons is in over her head. After a career failure deposits her back into her childhood bedroom in Ragansville, GA, she eagerly takes on managing her former mentor's mayoral campaign. If she's going to achieve her lifelong dream of running a major political campaign, Calliope has to win-or face the collapse of her career before it ever really starts. Unfortunately, as passionate as she is about her candidate's progressive plan to transform the small town she loves, that might not be enough to match the sleek professionalism of the other campaign's manager, Emerson Palmer: the guy who rejected her for a different campaign months before due to her lack of experience. The same guy she kissed after a round of drinks and a surprising show of support. Emerson Palmer has an impressive resume, but he's lacking inspiration after a rare loss has him rethinking his purpose. When he takes a meeting with a less than worthy candidate, he's only thinking about mending his bank account. But when he finds out that Calliope, the woman who turned his life upside down months before, is leading the opposition, he jumps at the chance to be closer to her. Orbiting each other as they campaign for their respective candidates, Emerson offers Calliope a way to cool the tension that threatens to boil over at every exchange: one night together to finish what they started with that first kiss. But once isn't enough. Soon, they're relying on each other for more than physical release, and eventually, Calliope has to decide if a career in the political trenches is right for her-and if her professional rivalry with Emerson could ever be exchanged for a romantic collaboration.

being a mom is having a baby tooth in your change purse because you were out of town when kiddo lost said tooth and we have to keep them, because kiddo has their own Tooth Fairy lore where the TF will deliver all of their teeth BACK to them when they lose their last tooth.
