Surrounded by doggos. ❤️

Some new and old books, representing 30 years of reading / book collecting. ❤️ I started re-reading the Last Herald Mage over the holidays and falling in love with Mercedes Lackey’s writing all over again. Hoping for more beautiful deluxe books like “Grandmaster” to add in the future! ❤️🎠❤️

New reading glasses, for reading yaoi only. 🧐 The acrylic glasses stand was unexpected but delightful for the 2 minutes I got to enjoy it. It was promptly claimed by my kiddo for her own glasses. And now she wants the LWJ glasses for herself so I guess I need to place another order. 🫣

Did a thing this weekend.

I did not buy one of EVERYTHING they had, but I bought one of MOST. 🫣

Omg. This Kinokuniya exclusive Art of TGCF book is sooooooo pretty and it came with goodies!!!

Successful book shopping! Dinner of book buying champion…. 😍🥰

My cat is cuddled up to the sunshine / cuddled up to the fire? I dunno where he even got this stuffed campfire from but he dragged it to his favorite sunshine charging spot.

Cat pillow has gotten a goth cat pillow friend for the season.

Today is a good book day!! - Wing & Claw editions arrived - A Nothing Special goodie box from @katiecandraw.bsky.social - Received #6 in the Deluxe printing of HOB - And I’m going to finally open the WM album by XZ. Maybe. (There’s books inside I’m afraid my kids will heist when I open it.)

My cat’s so vain, I bet she thinks this pillow is about her…

Weather is beautiful for Greenfield Village today. 🌞

My 3 fav cars from yesterday…

Saratoga Springs / Congress Park ❤️

Baby’s first Adirondack hike!

Me: I need to stop buying books Also Me:

Strawberry shortcake French toast! 😋

Throw back to when I worked in a brick and mortar office. One afternoon half the staff left for lunch on a boat and sent us a pic.Those of us left behind responded with our own boat pic. I sometimes miss shenanigans like this. But I also love working from home in my PJS. ❤️

Fancy breakfast. ❤️

Spent some time in the calligraphy exhibit at the DIA today. ❤️🖌️

Playing “what cup does this saucer go to” this morning…. It looks like I’m staging an estate sale! Which, in a way, I guess I sorta am.

Todays treasures found in old attic boxes…. Side-eye Jesus, and Jesus Take The Wheel (of my yacht?)

First day of summer vacation. Book brunch with the middle kid.

Last day of school… which means I’m soaking up the last bit of peace & quiet adult time this morning before the kids are all up in my business for three months.

I moved these plants into the same window about two weeks ago, and now they are holding hands. 😍 Plant besties.

I don’t think I have a problem… but, uh, pulling all the Disney pins together into one place and, uh…. It’s fine! I can quit whenever I want….

Find yourself a partner who will knock out some custom shelves when your book hoard starts to overflow… now to pick a color.

Serious dragon business.

I solemnly swear…

I appreciate some nicely done projection mapping. ❤️

Today’s resort. Giraffes and the biggest bathroom I’ve ever seen. 🦒

Interior glass is my kryptonite. 😍

Last night at the CCS student show:

Things I find in boxes inside of boxes…

Ahh! If I could be in two places at once! 😭

Life updates: -There is still a squirrel in our wall. -There is a new chapter of my webcomic, Nothing Special, up on Webtoon today. (www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/n...) Maybe give it a click, a read and a share? Maybe reblog this link and give me a name suggestion for the squirrel?

I don’t usually take pictures of my dinner but this was just too pretty.

Lowkey planning on stealing these when they’re done being painted…

For May the 4th… of all the books I own, this is the most raggedy, most worn, and prolly the most loved. A gift in the early 90’s. I’ve considered replacing it but it wouldn’t be the same: this book went on adventures with me, travelled with me, sparked a love for both reading and for books in me. ❤️

In addition to my many shelves of real books, and four live cats, I just unearthed this art print of… more books and cats… from storage. 🤷‍♀️ What can I say? My interests are predictable.

I never noticed this early helicopter before!

Charming.

Excuse my messy room, but this was tooooo cute not to record & share. We were all quite surprised when he saw this book and started asking about the character / actors by name just now. 🙃 When your big sisters talk incessantly about MDZS, I guess you pick bits up via osmosis even at age 3? 🤷‍♀️

Mood.

The things I find pressed between pages. My favorite poems are the ones no one else will ever know.

In my Danmei Era. ❤️

Detroit. ❤️

I have been to so many meetings in so many cities in so many states in the past 2 weeks. Finally headed home and decided I deserve a treat for all my adulting. Behold: dinner.
