I FOUND A BONBON

Planned a cute day in my old stomping grounds of East Dallas with the bestie consisting of the arboretum, Curiosities, and Smoky Rose (Lounge Here and Garden Cafe are closed today). What am I forgetting?

My friends all said they love this dress but I’m just not sold

Cowgirl dinner!

FYI Publix has BOGO lemon pound cake this week

Mass with the family was actually so nice!

Off to get my girl (reuniting with my prodigal best friend after 5 years of no contact)

With my close friend of 29 years. Her 2 YO asked me to push his stroller on our hike and his mom asked me if I was okay with pushing, so I said “oh sure, I’m in full auntie mode!” because of Gus, and then her son echoed “I’m in full auntie mode!”

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

OUR FENCE FELL DOWN

My ex is going back to prison 🎉

Today I’ve taught my nephew “shit,” “Raider,” “mallard,” “not the mama” and “Kirby” He LOVES Nintendo and Dinosaurs (1991)

Afro-mutuafuckin-m-a-n out here championing the constitution, the hero we have always needed

I just knocked over a box of diapers and said “shit!” and Augustus looks me right in the eye and goes “SHIT!!!!” Oh boy

I just took a shower in the girls’ bathroom with my peppermint Dr Bronner’s, and Laurel goes “aunt Catherine, you smell like Christmas!”

Reunited with HTeaO and it feels so good!!!!!

Letting this very good boy sleep with me tonight since his people (my brother and his family) are on vacation and he doesn’t feel well

The plane had a maintenance light come on YALL IM AT MY FUCKING LIMIT

Day 6 of being homeowners: the house just got struck by lightening

I don't want to hear what anyone thinks about tattoos making people look like criminals when most of the people in the epstein files look like a ken doll you put in the microwave on high for five minutes.

I had a dream that I babysat for @lawyerinbeta.com and read a new-to-him book with her Smöl Boy: Mr. Popper’s Penguins

“Et tu, crudités?” Happy (and Beware the) #IdesOfMarch, all who saladbrate! 🔪🥗🗡️ #Shakespeare #ShakespeareSunday #JuliusCaesar #BookSky @hollowcrownfans.bsky.social @shakespeare.lol

FIL’s late girlfriend’s son is down here helping clean out his mom’s house, so we invited him over for dinner. Grief dinner party!

Can someone please say this to Karoline Leavitt?

My dog when I gave him one lick of chocolate chip ice cream and won’t give him more

A year to 18 months to be buried at Arlington 🤯

This funeral director is SO kind, knowledgable, and helpful! She is perfect for her job, and I’m so glad we have her to help us.

Our air conditioner went out, so in a crazy twist of fate, we actually have to stay at Matt’s dad’s house tonight. I think this is what he wanted his house to be for: a place his kids can always go no matter what.

Matt went to pick up his dad for a doctor’s appointment and found him dead at home We’re all in shock

I’m no contact with my dad, but today when the mechanic reviewed my service history and complimented me on “meticulously maintaining” my truck, I thought he’d be proud of that.

Made a FAT taco salad for dinner

It never seemed like a good time to get off benzos so my doctors and I decided we would just do it in 2026. I felt hopeful in January when I started titrating down. Now it’s March, shoe after shoe keeps dropping, shit keeps flying off the rails, but I’m still here, going down.

Spliff toy from BarkBox is a hit!

Basking in the sun like a lizard and eating a cheeseburger is my kind of international women’s day

Marriage should be 50/50 (he does yard work while I play mermaids in the pool)

I just said “like what’s next you don’t fuck with Pangea?” and spouse had no idea what I was talking about

Last year, I had a silent heart attack while boarding a plane. A month later, someone on my husband’s flight had a heart attack mid-flight— he used the AED (after CPR was unsuccessful) and saved their life. Both events happened departing from the same airport, which is not our home airport.

I’ve been in bed trying to sleep for almost two hours, and my brain is thinking things like “how terrifying it must have been for the plane passengers on 9/11!!” [the last voicemail messages they left for loved ones that my brain has memorized start playing]

I explained Costco to a billionaire at a dinner and he was about to call a helicopter to take us there to rubberneck and get $1.50 hot dogs

I will have 3 days in person to tell prodigal best friend everything that’s happened to me in the last 5 years (and hear everything that’s happened to her) Idk if this is more of powerpoint situation or flowchart

Watching yet another series of unfortunate events unfold

I just gave my husband a silent glare so withering he said “hey you know what, I’d like to pay for more botox for you.”

Not me sobbing during hip openers in Pilates

First swim in the new pool!!!! Taken right before I sacrificed a contact lens to the pool gods

I love hauling myself out of my pool to do pro bono work

I did my 20th Pilates class today 🎉

Four years ago today, I had my strangest aerial arts injury- I smacked myself in the mouth with the lyra

This post brought to you by scooping pollen off the surface of the pool without any sneezing— if you are considering doing the allergy shots that you do every week for years, do it. Mine took almost four years but it changed my life.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.
