A soft serve margarita on Mother’s Day. Yum. 🍓🍸

Everyone says their cat is spoiled but I'm thinking about a few months ago when I drove to Petco in a blizzard to get new treats for my cat after he randomly decided he didn't like his usual treats anymore.

Ahem… Share a TV crush (past or present)

Have a peaceful #Caturday everyone!

Husband got me some (gaudy 😄) Cleveland Cavaliers bling for the playoffs. Hope it brings us a win today. We need it! 🏀⛹️

This is the second time I’ve had a baked potato explode. And it was just as fun to clean up as the first time.

Hello, May. 🌸 Soooo happy to see you.

Pretty sure this cat is my spirit animal. 😹

It’s Thursday. Close enough to Friday. Storm’s brewing. ⛈️ So be it. 🥂

Hello, spring. 😍

The ICE Murders: A Medical Thriller with a Political Twist, is now available as paperback, ebook, or audiobook (www.amazon.com/dp/B0GH12NSTK). Politics, science, and murder converge when a researcher studying health inequities is arrested by ICE and brutally murdered two days later. #booksky

Cloudy skies today, but the trees are “springing” to life. 😍 🌸

Finally had my old VHS and mini-CD family videos digitalized. Is a relief to have it done, but rewatching them (and seeing my kids so little) makes me both happy and sad. 👶☺️😞

Enya lives my “What if you had a lot of money” life: - Lives in a castle on the Irish coast - Alone, except for 12 cats - Nearest neighbor is Bono. #goals

I LOVE that this group exists! ❤️ I was thrilled when grandparents accompanied parents to the grandbaby's well-child checks. They'd seen firsthand the miracle of vaccines and could help convince their adult kids of the importance of them. 💉 @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social grandparentsforvaccines.org

Signs of spring. Woot woot! 🌼

After 8 hours with my mom today—getting her taxes done, running errands, transferring her phone carrier, setting up a new phone for her—I have MORE than EARNED this one. 🥂

Good morning. #Caturday

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

Beyond Facebook, I rarely post about my books on social media. Why add more white noise to a sea of white noise? But today I'll add more white noise and mention that the ebook version of my novel, FATAL ROUNDS, is currently on sale for $0.99. 🤓 #BookSky 📚 #BookBub 📚 carrierubin.com/my-books/liz...

Guess which side of the street gets lots of direct sunlight and which doesn't get any.

Smart cat. Looks peaceful!

Me, trying to figure out if I’ve already read the audiobook I’m listening to. It’s so familiar… …and yet 🤷‍♀️

A just-because treat for my husband: his favorite homemade German chocolate cake (but frosting with shaved almonds instead of pecans). 😋
