Cleaned the staircase. Went to dump the mop water outside & discovered a door squeak. Got the WD40 and fixed that. Noticed a missing trim piece on the bottom stair - need to find my tape measure. Remembered I last used it in my office. While I'm here, I might as well check email... Rinse. Repeat.

Just had a post blow up over on threads. It's about canned creamed corn 🤔 I've had a long career in marketing. Been on social from the beginning. It's still a mystery.

Thinking about this time a curmudgeonly guy I knew from hs posted about an annoyance he had. He really leaned into The Airing of Grievances. Several people weighed in with viable solutions to the problem. He edited his original post to say, "Listen, I don't want to workshop this."

has anyone ever intentionally bought creamed corn? I just unloaded my groceries and discovered four cans. Checked my pick-up order. It was 100% my error. I'm the problem.

Warning to the #WritingCommunity There's a new and quite convincing SCAM going around. Watch out for an email offering to include your book in some fancy BOOK CLUB. I've now seen these from the "Toronto Public Library" and the "Paris Anglophone Book Club." Block and ignore! And please share 💙

What is the correct number of times to drop the bag of ice on the floor to unstick the cubes before dumping them into the cooler?

"I gained several hundred followers today by saying that I lost several hundred followers by posting something that most people agree with."

[Watching a dessert recipe video intently] “YES! I have all the ingredients!” [Getting excited] “I’m totally gonna make this!!” [Next shot: candy thermometer] “…no.”

The most grown-up thing I do is, when a stranger on the internet enrages me with their stupidity and needs to be educated, I pause and think, "nah, I'll let someone else get this one."

Almost out of roasted pumpkin seeds, so the big one is getting gutted today. It's just over 37 pounds! Apple for scale 'cause I'm out of bananas.

Cleaning out the barn is one of the many winter projects at our new old hobby farm. The previous owners hadn't kept animals for a few years and it's a bit of a time capsule.

I like to give my Facebook frienemies dramatic literary titles. I'm calling my current nemesis "A Jealous and Bitter Woman"

My prettiest pumpkin heading into the oven. I'll scoop it out, have some for lunch, then freeze the rest for soup and pie. I have to process one pumpkin at a time because, while cute, my oven is tiny.

Happy Samhain, witches! 🎃🦇🪄 #witchsky #Halloween #Samhain #coffee

Babe wake up new hot criminals just dropped

The 2025 garden is in the books. I took down the fence yesterday, including about a bazillion T-posts. Every time I pulled one up, I felt like Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone. Next up is clearing the and prepping for 2026. #gardeningsky #wisconsin #driftlessregion #autumn

It doesn't matter exactly what I said, but my husband's response was, "Maybe don't just say whatever pops into your head."

So, so excited to see what Mychal does with this beloved show!!! 📚🌈♥️

Dear Streaming Services, I have to psych myself up to watch scary movies. Could you please not with the autoplay trailers? 🫣

Having been banished from the corporate fiefdom earlier this year, I have set out on new marketing quests. I wrote seven TV commercial scripts this week, and it was so nice not to have a dozen stakeholders weigh in on how to "punch it up." #marketing #writingcommunity

A nonna can prep an entire holiday dinner, including dessert, with a paring knife and a wooden spoon.

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

My son (31) and I are both a little socially awkward. We text each other our daily Wordle scores followed by relevant gifs - no extra commentary at all - and honestly it's better than 99% of my in-person human interactions.

The finger-wagging reels are so dumb. No, I don't want to know how to butter toast or tuck in my shirt "the right way." Save the tutorial for something awesome like how to land a plane or open a wine bottle with a shoe.

Sitting on the screen porch with my lil popcorn harvest... simultaneously admiring it and dreading getting all those hard little kernels off the cobs. #gardeningsky

Been doing some freelance script writing for TV spots, and I thought I’d try tackling my latest assignment without coffee. I think the kids call it “raw-dogging.” I’m afraid it can’t be done.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: make the logo bigger

Whenever I'm prepping an overly complicated menu for dinner guests, I hear Prue Leith's voice in my head, "that's quite ambitious. Are you worried about time?" *it's going to be close* I whisper as I pipe deviled egg filling. #GBBO

Planted some fall bulbs, processed the sumac into spice powder, and harvested the popcorn cobs. Doesn't sound too taxing, but I'm done in! #gardeningsky

Lemon Zinger, I think. . #tea #teatime #writingcommunity #amwriting #witchsky

whatever happened to those cartoony handlebar mustache props that people took selfies with and got finger tattoos of? Did that just fade away, or was there some kind of extinction event?

I adore my readers & I'm absolutely cracking up over this review for my cozy mystery "Murder in the Cards" The reviewer is anonymous, but would someone please tell them that a regular character in book one enters into a SS relationship in book 2?

There is a 100% chance I won't read reposts with "enough said" or "read that again." Don't even get me started on "nuf said."

Dolly is okay! She just posted a vid on IG. Could this be the start of a better timeline? 🤞

All the goodness of All Hallows Eve in one post.

Enthusiasts are my favorite type of people. They’ll be like, “What an outstanding specimen!” and I’ll have no idea what makes that one awesome, but I want to love anything that much.

In Wisconsin, meat raffles are a thing. What's a very specific event where you're from?

Saved this post as an explainer for all the NT people in my life. I mean, I'll never be able to find it again, but...

ISO of a moody, spooky, atmospheric playlist to write by. It has to be completely instrumental because I can't push words out of my brain if there are words/lyrics coming into my ears. Recs? #writingsky #writingcommunity #amwriting #authorsky

Thinking about that time - about ten years ago - when I was freelancing for a weed blog and they forgot to pay me. When I followed up, the owner was super apologetic and emailed back, “I’m so sorry! I totally spaced it.” Honestly, the most on-brand excuse I’ve ever gotten. #writingcommunity

Went to Milwaukee. Bought some cheese.
