Finally finished this Abraham Lincoln that I meant to have completed by 4th of July. I also fell out of love with the design as I was doing it, so left off some of the elements. Maybe after washing, ironing and framing it I’ll feel better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I drove all the way over to the County Clerk’s office (10 miles!) and was unable to get a permanent license plate for my new car. The sheriff told me I hadta remove all the tinting on my windows before I could register.

In which my child discovers he was conceived and raised by nerds. Last month, they asked for, and I sent, my copy of Bill Bryson’s book A Short History of Nearly Everything. Which, based on the tickets they found in the book, I was apparently reading when my mother-in-law passed away in 2004.

Me, wondering why I have a massive headache and on my day off, too! Me: Right. Haven’t had any caffeine. Me: How much caffeine have I missed? I usually just have a Diet Dr Pepper dirty soda with 30 mLs of concentrated espresso added in. Me: Oh.

A friend posted this and I just can’t love it more.

My new t-shirt came today. #F1

This is what I call the “puddle of glum.” It forms outside the upstairs bathroom whenever I start getting ready to leave the house. I usually spreads out more but I think it is self-conscious about being photographed.

Maeve’s secret plan worked. She crop-dusted us until we took her for a walk.

Went downstairs w/o my phone onto the back porch w/Wally. Can’t express the utter terror felt when a voice that sounded like it was behind me said iPhone 128 lost. Sharing to ask: Is this a product review for my new earbuds? So comfortable you forget they’re in ‘til they scare the shit out of you?

My new shirt from The Kentucky Shop arrived today so John and I went on up to Mitch’s condo in Louisville for a photo shoot!

Love when it’s cool enough to sit on the porch and work on our hobbies. (I am cross-stitching, not gnawing a bone.)

New Herrschners catalog arrived today and they just want you to know that if you haven’t even started your pumpkins and spiders and bats IT’S TOO LATE! IT’S ALREADY CHRISTMAS, LOSERS! Also, is that Santa actually Matt Damon?

Sometimes, if you are very, very lucky, you get to read a book on a hot summer evening with a snoring dog all up in your business.

Saw a cool thing on the walk.

I usually only wear my skeleton skirt during spooky season, but I was feeling feisty today and we need that third skeleton in DC. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Here’s hoping! 🖤🖤🖤

Oh no. Probably one of my earliest TV crushes. Memory eternal, Randolph Mantooth. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/randolph-mantooth-dead-emergency-1236806971/

Wally doin’ a heckin’ inspeck at the vet. Getting a tune-up.

I liked #Supergirl. A little too violent, but overall not bad. And, at an hour and 48 minutes, almost exactly the right length.

28 Jun 2026 19:03 +0000

The dogs after I explained it was hot, I have a new audiobook, and a purse to make, therefore I was not going anywhere or doing anything. Wally accepted the news and fell over before I finished my sentence. Maeve is simply regrouping before coming at me again.

Because I certainly don’t want to give up my copies, I got my kiddo used copies of two classic American novels that everyone should read.

10 Jun 2026 22:15 +0000

I’m working again and it’s just delightful, honestly! And, I got a new pin to wear on my white coat!

28 May 2026 02:28 +0000

I snapped up this $10 pattern for a crochet Hermès Birkin 35 cm as soon as I saw it! I figured I better hurry because Hermès will soon send the designer, Emmanuel Ndukwe, (ThatCrochetGuy.com) a cease and desist letter that will singe his eyebrows off. I’m thinking a nice lime green for summer.

Sad dog watching the rainy day go by. She has never seen the outside. Never had a walk. She is a hostage. #dogs

23 May 2026 01:16 +0000

She got the post-poop zoomies.

It’s ironic that this carpeting looks like a petri dish considering that it’s in a hospital and is probably a petri dish. (No worries. It’s Boobfest 2026.)

When we went to vote today, the poll worker saw which street we lived on and exclaimed “Another ! You guys do so well! Almost every house on votes!” And we both beamed with pride. #Vote (My BFF from 1st grade told us to choose this neighborhood and she was so very right!) https://static.klipy.com/ii/925f17378dd1893b674a723c07535afe/ae/41/E0cbfOAU.gif?hh=498&ww=498&mp4=32PshYEH&webm=H4Qdd3BFAKcUBgOz

Married 25 years today.

Almost finished with a little blankie. Two sidelong rows and needs blocking. #crochet

I opened one wallpaper ad and now 1) all my ads are wallpaper ads and 2) I am obsessed with wallpaper.

07 May 2026 22:33 +0000

Me: Wally, please don’t loll on my blanket. It’s not even finished. Wally: don’t make soft pretty things if you don’t want me lolling on them.
