Shout out to past me for buying an extra pair of toddler shoes in the next size up so I’m not spending my Sunday scrambling to get my daughter new shoes that fit

Good news! The Ragtime Broadway revival finally announced they’re releasing a cast album. It’s essentially the same cast I saw at the NYCC last fall and is absolute perfection.

Hoosiers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instant recap: Indiana 63, Illinois 10 www.insidethehall.com/2025/09/20/i... #iufb

There’s still a lot of game to be played but the Hoosiers are looking pretty great tonight! #IUFB

To my H-1B friends, I am so fucking sorry. This all sucks so much.

Currently doing laser safety training for work and it’s just making me feel nostalgic for the good ole days in grad school when I used class IV lasers every day #chemsky

I’m getting a lot of targeted content about marathon training and long run humor and I don’t think social media has figured out that the two marathons I have “coming up” this fall are as a supportive sister and wife NOT as a runner 😂

This summer I really embraced the whole new job, new city, new me persona and used it as motivation to get back on track with meal prepping. I accidentally got a reputation at work for having really good lunches & now feel pressure to deliver. With that said, I have no clue what to eat this week 😬

Well, I didn’t beat the CEO but I did break 6 seconds in the 40 yard dash AND I was the only woman that ran so technically I was the fastest woman

Somehow, I found myself at a company where the weird thing everyone in R&D gets weirdly competitive and excited about happens to be related to the only sport I’ve ever been good at. With that said, I’m racing our CEO in a 40 yard dash tomorrow 😅

Anyone else have certain artists they listen to seasonally? For me the onset of fall means Marlon Williams is on repeat for the next few months.

When you’re out to lunch with your toddler and the lady at the table next to you accidentally squirts coffee creamer everywhere including all over your toddler’s face you’re just happy it wasn’t your kid making the mess 🤣

Your English teacher and your gym teacher are in the final two 🧨

Second Sunday in a row where we’ve completely messed up nap time. Today it was a 10 minute cat nap on our drive to the zoo. I guess I’m never leaving the house again on the weekends 😅

I hate the term “terrible twos” because no two year old is terrible. With that said, I think we’ve officially entered that phase and I’m exhausted 😩

Guess who forgot they touched some jalapeño slices without washing their hands afterwards and then touched both of their eyeballs. I really could use an eyewash station right now.

Poor @erikreichenbach.bsky.social even catching strays in #SurvivorAU! 😖 #Survivor

Realized I never updated my bio to reflect that I recently made the jump to industry. It’s been a crazy two months but I’m so happy with the change.

My daughter woke up before 5am a few days this week so imagine my shock when she treated me to a 6:30 am Saturday morning wake up!

How do I convince my daughter she should never start drinking coffee while also setting the example of drinking copious amounts of coffee everyday?

Started a new job last June and found out today that my boss knows what #RHAP is

One of my favorite things that ever happened on the internet (although the large boulder the size of a small boulder was also a good one)

So guess who is going to be the new fire warden at work?

Saw my good friend from undergrad for the first time in over 3 years today. We both have moved around a lot for school/our careers but somehow we ended up settling down within 45 minutes of each other and to make it even better, our kids are super close in age!

Things I do on a Saturday night when I’m procrastinating going to bed: attempt to list from memory every season of survivor we need to rewatch before season 50 comes out #survivor #rhap

It’s amazing how much my quality of life has improved now that I commute mostly by train instead of driving. I mostly use the time to read for leisure but it’s nice to have it available to catch up on life admin or even get some work done. And I can slowly sip and enjoy my morning coffee!

So the $30 tennis shoes I bought to wear in lab just kept my feet completely dry while walking in the pouring rain so I think it’s safe to say they’re good for the occasional lab spill.

Freaking out about the recent #RHAP news! The past few weeks have been an emotional roller coaster for sure!

Our household goods finally got delivered and wow I’m overwhelmed. Thankfully my parents will be here all weekend to entertain the toddler so we can unpack.

Just got a targeted ad for a lord of the rings crochet kit but the balrog has wings so clearly it’s not a quality kit #lotr

After a pretty rough couple hours of our drive my daughter finally fell asleep so I thought it was safe to put on #RHAP only for her to immediately wake up and cry. Sorry Rob I guess she’s not a fan 🤣

Doing the first half of our drive to Chicago today. Husband and I are each driving a car which means we can’t trade off driving and my daughter will only stop crying if she’s sleeping or if I’m loudly singing to her. My throat hurts 😅

Bittersweet day as it was my last day at West Point. It’s been a great 4 years but it was time to move on to the next opportunity. Next stop: Chicago for an industry role!

Went to clean my nearly empty apartment tonight but got distracted by my violin and the amazing acoustics. My husband even got a little worried since I was gone so long.

My daughter woke up in the middle of the night for the first time in quite a while. It’s almost as if she senses this is our last night in this apartment.

So IU is bringing back the bison mascot which is cool I guess but is anyone else a little sad they didn’t bring back these guys instead? #hoosiers

Moving with a toddler is not for the faint of heart 😳

Me: oh wow I may have finally made it through a month without leaving the state. Also me: Went to New Jersey literally this morning

Water coloring with an 18 month old is very messy but also very entertaining. I just hope it doesn’t get her voted out of #survivor someday.

I wrote a very detailed review for one of my daughter’s board books on goodreads and my cousin just “liked” it…slightly dying of embarrassment now

My novel Escape! is now available for pre-order at stephenfishbach.com or escapefishbach.com (which sounds like a horror movie). I wrote a post about it and about my inspiration for writing it. open.substack.com/pub/stephenf...

Happy mother’s day to me…the toddler just puked all over her car seat and my car 😅

Seems like my daughter has had an incident report more often than not ever since she moved to the toddler room 😅

Freaking out about the casting announcement about Ragtime’s return to #Broadway. Saw the New York City Center production last fall and would be willing to sell my left kidney for a cast recording. Joshua Henry as Coalhouse is perfection.

This challenge stresses me out to watch because I know how frustrating I’d find it if I ever had to do it #Survivor #RHAP

If you’re wondering how parenting a toddler is going, I currently have a bruise on my collar bone because she has had all 4 canines coming it at the same time for what seems like and eternity and bit me this morning
