I've had Ludo almost 6 years and this is the 1st time he's ever sat fully on my lap. He usually sits by my left side, front legs propped on my thigh, or spread out alongside me on his back. Pets, always surprising you. Of course, I'm supposed to be making dinner 😂

I took cold meds at 10 a.m., for a horrible sinus headache. I just woke up and it's 3:45 p.m. so I just lost a day of sunlight. I feel very discombobulated.

Ready

Happy New Year!

Power outage is at over 2 hrs now, but all my battery operated Christmas decor (and fireplace) keeping us aglow during it. Hopefully it's back before the timers turn it all back off 😂

33 bags. 4 instruction books. I think it's finally the kit that will keep Liam occupied for more than an hour or two. @dndbeyond.com #Lego

My friend, Zach Stitch, has an album out. Music and songs written by him. Give him a listen. I recommend hitting the shop and picking up the vinyl, it's gorgeous. zachstich.com?utm_source=i...

Tonight's Pre-code movie was Dance, Fools, Dance, paired with a brandy cocktail. Joan Crawford was quite dishy and Clark Gable young and full of the screen filling charm you expect. A bit rushed story wise, but I'm finding that common in the movies from that period.

Merry Christmas from my house to yours

Ho ho ho

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄🎅🤶🦌🛷🎄

I forgot to put the parchment paper in the cake pans for the carrot cakes. Hoping for a Christmas miracle that they come out of their pans

You ever wonder who thought? You know what would be a great base for 1970s and 80s potluck desserts? Coolwhip and cream cheese whipped together. They weren't wrong, but still, who did that 😂

Liam (18) just told me his Spotify age is 59. I'm crying. My Spotify age is 32 😂

Someone is writing a check at the grocery store. Kill me

Can you feel the spice 🔥? Ooohwee, think I'm close to finally being able to breathe fire 🐲. 😂 Really good though

I got up from my desk for less than 5 minutes, Ludo claimed the chair and now I'm the bad guy for taking my chair back to earn the money for his food. No respect

Christmas lights. Cool or warm. Make a choice. They do not go together.

Should I have wine before baking? Hmmm

All set for Christmas cookie baking today with friends

Ooooh

Cheers

My favorite, hair day. The Christmas foils are so fun 🎄

Noel says happy December

Thank you Ludo, very helpful

Christmas nails are go

I listened to 1,186 artists this year and 3,164 songs #SpotifyWrapped2025

Drinking water but thinking about coffee and coke zero

Ho ho ho

Watching the last of the new #StrangerThings and my little Christmas tree went from multi color to just red. Coincidence? #StrangerThingsSeason5

Second day of 2nd Thanksgiving prep. Second blood sacrifice made. Same thumb. Will the left thumb survive. Stay tuned. Also the thumb is thinking about auditioning for a flying nun remake

Prepping for second Thanksgiving. The blood sacrifice has been made. Thumb as usual.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Travel safe, don't burn your fingers, and if you need to be bailed out due to festivities getting out of control, I hope you have friends with money 😘

Are we frazzled yet?

I host 2nd Thanksgiving every year on Sunday, so just starting work on the stuffing, first round just needs to be seasoned and popped in to toast. Then just 5 more loaves to go

Ludo's murder mittens. Straws don't stand a chance

Let's try this again and try not to flub the flip onto the platter. No time for another redo. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

I broke the cake, it slid off the cake dish when I flipped it, half on the table half not... So I have to do it again tomorrow morning. On the upside, we got to eat cake tonight for dessert

They live in my head full time #Poldark

It's a Frank Sinatra listening and vodka orange crushes kind of Monday night. A strange mix, but I'm going with it

If you ever want coffee that will make your hair vibrate, your eyes open as wide as possible, your heart beating an Argentine tango, have Liam it make it for you 😂

Having the Christmas lights glowing at home makes it being dark so early much more bearable. 🎄
