A blessed Rickey Henderson’s birthday to all who celebrate

I’ve been cooking and baking all day and now I’m so ready for bed.

I’ve made and decorated about two dozen sugar cookies and boiled eggs for tomorrow. I think I need a power hour nap before preparing cinnamon roll dough and finishing deviled eggs. 💤

My Christmas gift to my squirrel friends, a whole bag of peanuts and corn cobs. It’s been fun watching this friend hide peanuts all over the front yard.

*slams laptop shut until January 5th*

omg omg omg it’s a christmas miracle (these aren’t supposed to be out until next month)

Please be inclusive when planning a food-related event when your friends or family have dietary restrictions. I don’t want to just eat a salad or pay $4 extra for a gluten free bun that is tiny and not structurally sound.

Happy Festivus!

Wake Up Dead Man was maybe a little too long. But as someone who was raised Catholic and turned into an agnostic spooky girl, the imagery was incredible. Still entertaining, but the original Knives Out will always be the best.

I can’t believe the Pope gave us the first pick in the draft and Munetaka Murakami. #blessed

Stolen from Passan: Third baseman Munetaka Murakami and the Chicago White Sox are in agreement on a two-year, $34 million contract, sources tell ESPN.

lololololololol bear fucking down

Anyway, here’s Cursive.

i’m so glad my happiness doesn’t depend on the bears. instead it’s the *checks notes* white sox. shit.

I need this full face of makeup I’m about to do to cure my depressive episode.

I finally got my baby (giant SUV) back after a week and a half in what felt like a clown car rental. I missed my car, especially the heated seats, so much.

I’m finally about to watch Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror. Do you think I’ll cry?

My brain these days: Hello, Carol. This is a recording. At the tone, you can leave a message to request anything you might need. We'll do our best to provide it. Our feelings for you haven't changed, Carol. But after everything that has happened, we just need a little space.

Happy third birthday to my little princess Willow! Time flies when you’re having fun.

It’s really hard to find the helpers when the world has gone to shit. So many senseless and violent deaths this weekend.

Inspired by early scorebooks I found in my research, the Vintage scorecard design is now available for download (and custom books). I had so much fun figuring this system out and hope there's someone out there that will love this design. diamondscorecarddesigns.com/products/vin...

Tomorrow is Willow’s third birthday so I hope you all sent your gifts in time.

please please please don’t embarrass me

happy tears

have they thought about just resurrecting moe berg

This is how Willow looks at me when I give my husband any affection. (Before pushing through and breaking it up.)

I think I’ve finally gained the courage to book my knee tattoo. I’ve been avoiding it forever.

After watching the newest season of Stranger Things I realized that Jamie Campbell Bower is also Anthony in Sweeney Todd. So I’m going to crash out this weekend and listen to that soundtrack that I unfortunately still remember every word of.

I watched the finale for The Chair Company and while I’m still so confused, I’m also amused.

No take backs. Don’t piss me off, Boston.

I fucking hate it here.

I hope she’s comfy.

Hell yeah!

We did it, Joe!

So far today: The other insurance company took full liability and are completely covering repairs from when I was rear ended last week. Rilo Kiley announced Milwaukee and Chicago dates. I got a presale code for the added Rilo Kiley shows. Finally on the upside after a bad week.

Bang the Doldrums has gotta be the best song about Mikey Way.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

the fraudulent chicago bears are playing

I love when Ohio State loses anything, especially if IU beats them. ❤️

Krampusnacht is my favorite night of the season.

Happy Friday. I got rear ended. 🙃

it is 10° outside and I still had to argue with both teenagers today to wear a coat. 🫩

I accidentally ordered more Christmas cards than I typically send. If you want a card featuring my family and Ozzie Guillén, send me your address!
