The Princess Bride is a Christmas movie.

While this issue is horrible, I still think we should release the Epstein files unredacted. We can multi-task effectively.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

It’s hard to see, but it’s actively snowing out there! #SnowDay ❄️

Fell up some slate steps right after a had dropped a cup of paintbrushes all over the floor at the base of the same stairs this morning. Me, 12 hours later: Why does my knee hurt so bad? Today was r-o-u-g-h!! Good night!

Had a snow day on Friday. Looks like we'll have another tomorrow. I hate winter and everything it stands for, but I will never complain about not having to get up and go out in it!

Can we at least see like a teaser trailer or something for this new year first?

Willows whiten, aspens shiver. The sunbeam showers break and quiver In the stream that runneth ever By the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot.

I had one of those “volunteer being too/wrong kind of helpful” dreams last night. Happy Sunday, Friends! 😂⚓️

Ok, this is actually terrifying: heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-5...

🤬

It is beautiful, I’ll give it that. (And it’s not done… Definitely getting more than was forecasted.)

Current view: Also, I have 3 papers to write.

The forecast for tonight is 1-5" of snow, depending on which weather app you look at. We really need to bring back NOAA.

@justamyzing.bsky.social Thinking of you today. 💜

Isaiah 3 coming in 🔥 this morning. I grew up with the belief that America=Israel. I'm willing to subscribe to that theory for this chapter anyway. Phew! www.bible.com/bible/37/ISA...

and half of them are out.

Kevin gets it.

At the eye doctor the tech came out, called my name, and put out her hand. I reached out my hand to shake hers. She was reaching for the clipboard I was holding. I felt like @ruthmbuchanan.bsky.social for a moment. 😂

no, no, no. we don't want muppet benoit blanc solving crimes on sesame street. we want HUMAN Daniel Craig AS benoit blanc solving crimes on sesame street. appreciate the effort but details matter.

Some of the flags around town are at half staff, including at the police department. The way my heart momentarily leapt with hope, but alas, it's apparently for someone else I have yet to identify.

About to go do the most stressful thing ever*! *do that thing at the eye doctor where you have to decide if 1 or 2 is better in a split second and if you get it wrong, you're sentenced to not seeing well for the next 12 months

It's giving "Tuesday"! (Has anyone made this joke yet? No? I'm on fleek!)

Does anyone have experience with bifocal or multifocal contacts? I'm so tired of having to put readers on every time I look at my watch.

"Why do you hate the Bible?", always by a man, mostly by pastors who don't think I'm allowed to be one too.

The crèches are up around the church. The Magi have started their journeys, and all the Baby Jesuses are tucked safely in my desk drawer. 😬⚓️

A beloved tradition has returned! (Yes, we know it’s way too early, but humor the cat. And follow along. It’s fantastic!)

I want my tree to be up. I do not want to put my tree up.

On high alert 🚨 (There are 🐴 🐴 in the woods out the kitchen window.)

Happy New Year, Church! ⚓️

“When it was still dark, Jesus got up to pray.” So, 6:30? 7?

What’s for lunch? Avocado, grape tomatoes, black olives, mozzarella, garlic, salt, pepper, & a little squeeze of lemon juice.

Ya know what I miss? Flashmobs. (This kind, not the dumb kind.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivVP...

As I pet the tiny tiger snuggled up against my leg, I'm in awe of the fact that God created some creatures simply for our enjoyment. In our houses. And they're so cute. Like...Wow!

Starting the 2nd season of Man on the Inside. I loved the first. One thing of note that I already love: It takes place in San Francisco and there's a Philz coffee cup on Stephanie Ortiz's desk. Gotta love the authenticity. Also, I miss Philz. It's good.

I dared to move my hand and woke him up. Sorry, Bubby. 😂

I used to hate the beginning of the parade (where they're all waiting for the actual parade to make it to Macy's). Now I kind of love it as a time for Broadway to show off and it's really fun! (Yes, I know they're lip-sincing. It's fine.)

My brother and I send this to each other every Thanksgiving, and now I'm passing it on to all of you. Enjoy! (Fun fact: I visited the church Alice lived in and the restaurant when I lived in that part of MA.) youtu.be/m57gzA2JCcM?...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you’re all getting to do exactly what you want today, and if not, that you can get out of it as soon as humanly possible!

What’s for dinner? Pasta, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, artichoke hearts, and mozzarella.

Today I had the windows open. Tomorrow's high is 38F/3C. *sigh*

I'm smelling an onion bagel. I'm in my office. I do not have an onion bagel. Now I want an onion bagel.

"You'll be visited by three spirits." The three spirits (although Dani took the one I would have done, but that's ok):

She's not over here, but our friend Katie Crosby created a great Thanksgiving playlist a couple of years ago: open.spotify.com/playlist/68N...

Yesterday my boss decided we’re taking Wednesday off too. And today we’re going to lunch to celebrate that the associate rector successfully led the bishop search committee and her work is now done. It’s gonna be a good week over here! ⚓️

One of the best perks of my job: Sometimes I get a tiny human all to myself for a while so her mama can have a few undivided minutes in worship. 🥰 (The Nursery was closed today due to lack of volunteers. Not cool, but I did get baby snuggles.)
