The petty hates are back, and apparently, we have more grievances than we realized.

This week, Erica and Jenn tackle everything from impossible TJ Maxx price stickers and grocery store aisle blockers to Florida's questionable fall fashion choices. Erica reveals three things her husband does that drive her absolutely insane (including a very concerning shower routine), while Jenn defends her belief that soup belongs in a round container. Obviously.

Somewhere along the way, we discuss disastrous unboxing videos, shopping struggles at 40, unfinished home projects, and why Erica is considering dressing as the Lorax for her birthday.

We also give a shoutout to @floridasewcialite for reminding us that colors don't have to follow seasonal rules, and have a small request for @Mosseri: Can we please do something about those floating Instagram hearts?

As always, we're solving absolutely nothing, but we're having a great time discussing it.

Erica and Jenn are back together this week, and apparently all it takes is a gloomy Florida day to send the conversation in every possible direction.

They catch up on closet renovations, the chaos of being temporarily displaced from your own stuff, and Jenn’s habit of doing things now because her “future self” will be grateful. Then Erica shares the very logical series of events that led her husband to drive their golden retriever to the neighborhood pool for a bath rather than simply move a hose to the front yard.

From there, things unravel exactly as expected: marriage logic, Flat Jenn, getting “turnt” after 40, 3 a.m. wake-ups, emotional-support water bottles, the hydration privileges of today’s children, hair and makeup routines, and a surprisingly passionate debate over Italian pronunciation.

Eventually, Jenn breaks out her running list of petty hates, including lawnmowers before 8 a.m., people who stop in doorways, public speakerphone users, rogue gym weights, website pop-ups, the word “colorway,” and anyone who expects more than three consecutive blessings after sneezing.

Because at some point, you’re simply no longer blessed.

Plus, Erica adds a petty grievance of her own, they talk Scandal, and somehow a rainy day leaves everyone feeling a little better by the end.

This week, Erica and Jenn start with shaky legs and gym talk and somehow end up asking a much bigger question: how many things have we convinced ourselves we can't do?

They talk about the voices we let into our heads, the things other people have said that somehow became our own beliefs, career changes, starting over, running again, proving people wrong, and realizing that maybe we're more capable than we've given ourselves credit for.

Naturally, it does not stay that deep.

There's panic buying before vacation, buying sweaters when it's still 90 degrees in Florida, the Sudoku wardrobe method, the absolute betrayal of dressing-room mirrors, bathing-suit shopping, why some friendships work because you're completely different, how to show up when someone you love is going through something hard, and the very different definitions of what constitutes a "walk" on vacation.

Shoutout to @floridasewsialite on Instagram who introduced Jenn to the Sudoku method of building a wardrobe, even if explaining it out loud without a visual went exactly as well as you'd expect.

If you're figuring things out, changing your mind, trying something you swore you couldn't do, or panic-buying a sweater you absolutely do not need, you're in good company.
