I’m usually not a huge fan of mashups, but this one with Elton John & Dua Lipa blows my mind. It’s part of “No Sacrifice” and part of “Rocketman.” The video is bizarre. Actually I’m pretty much into anything Dua…
Murphy is Five!
Today this noble knob known to all as Murphy Maximus Russell is 5 years old. He loves running, chewing, chicken nuggets and evening sofa snuggles. We love him and the noisy chaos he has brought to our ounce quiet home.
Friday 15: Agita
The number one reason I don’t do things when I’m supposed to is because I’m overwhelmed. This doesn’t serve me well at the job that pays me, so there I’ve managed to learn to break down large projects into smaller…
Friday 5: Everything but Yul Brynner
Hullo! I’m still here! Just been a bit quiet lately because we’ve been honkin’ busy getting things settled around here. MIL packed quite a bit of stuff and we’ve been scrambling trying to get everything in a place. Which means…
Friday 5 on Saturday: “Month” is a strange word
So yeah yeah it’s Saturday not Friday but on Thursday this happened: Last night I was burning up with a fever. So much so that I sick-bought a watercolor palette from a TikTok video and wasn’t very aware of it…
Show us your books, November 2021
Book roundup time! Another 2-book month but by the next books roundup, my exam will be behind me! Hooray! And then it’ll be silly holiday books for the rest of the year. I sure miss pleasure reading. The Night the…
What I’m Listening to: Pentatonix (again)
I listen to Pentatonix all year, but I’m always a fan of their holiday music. Wait don’t go! This is snowy and wintery but it’s not Christmassy! Watch it! Love it! Seriously though, when Scott comes in with the Italian…
Friday 5: November Rain
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…
