Happy Friday! My mother-in-law is finally here! She arrived Wednesday night (WM flew out Wednesday morning and came back with her Wednesday night) and we’re all kind of figuring out the new normal. So many new normals. Murphy is having…
October 2021 Extras
Boo, hiss, here comes November. Second-worst month of the year. Dead, wet leaves. Cold, damp air. People throwing hissy fits if you Holiday it up too early. Here are some thoughts and photos from October that were a little thin…
Friday 5: Yuputka!
Happy Friday! Lots of sighs of relief this week as some medical tests came back good for me and for others and we can slightly unclench and return to just a normal pandemic-level clenching. I’ve been clenched since September 2019….
Find yourself friends who will
Ship you macarons from Lady Yum in Seattle! They are very decadent study treats. Fingers crossed we’ll be able to get back to Seattle next summer. Everyone I know has gone on a vacation and been fine. Also, I would…
Friday 5: Pew Slag
Happy, er, Saturday. I was very sleepy last night, even missed movie night which was Encino Man – a movie that I put on the list! In Bummer, dude. This week’s Friday 5 is PEW SLAG. What recently made you…
A trip to Philadelphia and three great things about working from home
Last Monday I went into the office to have my laptop looked at. It turns out all she needed as a blowout (as do I) but I thought going into Philly would be a fun diversion from the usual stay…
What I’m Watching: Moriah Elizabeth
She paints, she bakes, she fixes broken squishies. She’s Moriah Elizabeth and I love both her amazing talent and her self-deprecating humor. She uploads a 15-20 minute video every Friday. Filed under: I-could-be-your-Mom-but-I-love-your-Youtube-content
Friday 5: We learned more from a three-minute record, baby
Happy Friday, friends! I had a very good adulting week, including having an electrician in to upgrade some old outlets. That will likely be the beginning of a very beautiful and expensive friendship, because if there is any one thing…
About this space travel thing…
Or: My complicated feelings about space. Not social distancing space… outer space. I love space, I love astronauts, I love rockets. One of the coolest things I ever watched was a nighttime space shuttle launch when I was visiting with…
Show Us Your Books, October 2021
Happy 7th anniversary to the Show Us Your Books linkup! Yeah, you’re all a bit heavy on the murder books but I couldn’t hope to find a better group of book lovers and a better group of blogs to read…
Halloween Decor 2021
I hate fall but I begrudgingly admit to enjoying decorating for Halloween. If you have a giant ivy pit in your front yard, put some foam graves there! And a skeleton. This year the graveyard expanded past the walkway. Don’t…
Friday 5: Condimentary, My Dear Watson
Well well well, just when you find yourself in the Swamp of Sadness, Friday comes along to cheer you up slightly. And here we are. Friday. Yup. On the chore list this weekend is to clean up the craft room…
