@palapid.bsky.social is it correct you manage ALX skeets? Add Derry!!

Who is writing up what we need to know about this team? Let's go super hard and cheer them on, ALX skeets!

DASH bus mentioned LET'S GOOOOOO.

Did someone say yard signs?

Me after Tuesday night:

If you want to knock doors for @ebpforva.bsky.social feel free to reach out to me directly!

How did I completely forget about the Obama power couple cameo in Pitch Perfect 2???

Out here earning very important feline endorsements for one of my favorite humans @ebpforva.bsky.social

About to find out how weird it is to put leftover salmon in a veggie soup.

🧵 I was asked for “more data” on why my building code proposal to require diaper changing tables accessible to all caregivers was “really necessary." So, I explained biology and blowouts and shared stories from parents.

Hello here's the small light in dark times for your news feed! www.alxnow.com/2026/01/05/d...

Thank you @dashbusva.bsky.social for this amazing birthday adventure! We had a blast!

Evergreen skeet right here.

Santa but it's the night of the 25th and he detail cleans your house and organizes all the new stuff.

All I want for Christmas is a nose ring and a kitten. Signed, An elder millennial woman

Hot tip: Dec 24th will be the last cardio drumming class until March and it's gonna be FANTASTIC.

trolling @martaschantz.bsky.social hard today because here's a pic of a blue bathroom taken in a blue bathroom.

I was today years old when I realized that Politico describes itself as a tabloid while our local newspaper describes itself as in-depth journalism. Not often my brain is fully broken before the second cup of coffee, but here we are.

The pianist at Costco (a thing!?!?) has convinced me that Call Me Maybe should be a Christmas song. Has the catchiness, works just as well if not better instrumental, brings a mild amount of joy when you hear it a couple times a year. Done.

It's our 6th Christmas in this house, also the year we finally keep the corporate gifted grapefruits intended for the prior residents (instead of giving to them at their new address) and hang up the holiday cards they still get here. Their citrus and not-really-in-touch friends are OURS!

Update: it's happening!! Super pumped for this @dashbusva.bsky.social!!

Do I know anyone (not an elected) going to the City Council Public Hearing tomorrow?

First holiday party season with new set of school parents. Will be wearing the same bordlerline-ugly-sweater-vintage-sequins thing to every event, to test who gets my kind of weird.

Currently winterizing my outdoor faucets, something that *definitely* happens every winter. Please clap.

Delegating preschool holiday spirit week outfits to my husband. Way too busy making other parts of the holidays / kiddo birthday month magical.

CONFIRMED: cardio drumming at the Y in ALX is everything you want it to be and more. Incredible work by instructor and low-key ALX celeb @ebpforva.bsky.social for giving me a reason to Get Low before noon on a Wednesday and relive my finest days on drumline.

Watch out for copycats, @dashbusva.bsky.social !

They finally closed! $2.9m, down from the original list price of $4.25m in March 2023.

Ummm hello lots of sudden openings in the sister cities committees. 1 - is there DRAMA that hasn't made it to the skeets? 2 - if I get on the Caen sister city committee do I get a trip to France?

Things that are weird to say: "mom, it's time for you to take an oxy" (She got a brand new knee today so feel free to share any tips and tricks for joint replacement recovery!)

ALX foodies: where can I buy some macarons?

@dashbusva.bsky.social if I wanted to bring some toddlers and parents over to go through the bus wash for a kids party, is that possible? Dash bus facility birthday! Make this kid's dream come true!

Where is D.C. Sandwich Guy partying this weekend? He has the chance to be the early-aughts-Kim-Kardashian of D.C., just needs to skeet out what bar he's going to and the people will follow.

Weirdly satisfying when you recognize people walking into the polls to vote, when 2 days ago you canvassed them and they SWORE they ALREADY VOTED EARLY and to STOP BOTHERING THEM and YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME. Ummm no, you lied, and now you're here voting on Election Day, I WIN.

It was pretty damn cool to see Abigail Spanberger completely fangirl over Dolores Huerta at her event today.

The playlist at the PY Dunkin this morning kinda slaps. WHO KNEW.

Friday afternoon in the bad place and I'm LIVING for the video of Dua Lipa / Brandi Carlile singing "the story" live in Seattle.

My hairdresser is such an intense sports fan that after my cut this morning I think I might love basketball?!?!

Belated Caturday!

Del Ray Halloween fans: is there a house doing K-Pop Demon Hunters?

Taking the kiddo to the dash party on the dash bus! This is the way.

Hey Wakefield Tarleton, answer your doors and talk to me about voting! @alexgoyette.bsky.social I'm creeping on your street...

Shout-out to the wonderful folks @alexandriaanimals.bsky.social @alexandriavagov.bsky.social for sending an animal control officer out quickly to a neighbor who discovered mama and kittens in her yard! Kittens are old enough to be adopted and it's gonna be HARD not to get a couple for myself.

Moment of pure joy this morning when the kiddo spotted a hummingbird on the coral honeysuckle outside the kitchen window!! We're new to hummingbirds but this was black-chinned.

Saw a cybertruck carrying 2 kayaks and 4 bikes and it broke my brain.

Recently traveled with a friend (so 2 moms, 2 toddlers total), and can't stop thinking about how she thanked me for the mental work of planning the grocery list. I love traveling with my family but DAMN I really need another mom on every trip from here on out.

Beautiful work by the conductor on this @amtrak.com Northeast Regional in politely and professionally handling a non-ticketed (and possibly unhoused / facing other challenges) passenger. Treating people with respect and kindness means so much in these Tough Times. 1/2

When I told my 3 year old he needed to eat a piece of fruit before he could watch TV, I figured we would finally make some progress on fiber intake. But no, he just hasn't watched TV for 7 days (and counting), and is completely fine with his decision.

Hyperlocal real estate news: the house on Lloyd's has a sign saying it's under contract!! Been on the market for 3-ish years.

Congrats to my uncle Bob for placing 5th in his age group at the national senior games pickleball tournament for mixed doubles! We love to see it.
