Just a normal Friday at work when your boss is also an animal rehabber

And that's a wrap for March #Reading #Booksky

How am I supposed to just leave this at home in my bed and go to work?

When your husband has a particular craving

Officially hit my original reading goal for the year of 2026 today. I've increased it since but 17 days into March and I'm 24 books down so I'm just going to allow myself a moment to feel proud about that. #Booksky

Well.... Pokopia got me. See you all in 3-6 months when I can manage to pull myself away from it again.

Don't let this darkness fool you, All lights turned off can be turned on

February reading wrap up #booksky

I read the entirety of The Book Thief in less than 24 hours today, on the last day of my week long vacation from work. I think I need a 2nd vacation now to emotionally recover from it. An absolutely devastating masterpiece. #BookSky

I don't know who needs to hear this but never buy a Samsung refrigerator when you're forced to fridge shop. The absolute worst fridges and customer service. And then, to top it off, they'll send a tech to your house to "fix it" who will actually break it worse 🙃

There is a repair man here for my (less than 3 year old) fridge. He visibly cringes every time my stressed out dogs bark so I shut myself and all 4 dogs off in a room and turned up the Eras Tour film so they wouldn't hear him in there working. Hope he likes Taylor Swift more than he likes dogs 😂

I know this will probably be unpopular and that's okay. I've been a Taylor fan since Debut. I have loved her through all of her eras. All these unnecessary physical variants from TLOAS are absolutely out of control and each new one that drops is making me less of a fan.

When a new cozy game that you've been looking forward to for months finally releases right at the same time that you get deeply invested in the book that you're reading

Final Review of Jane Eyre - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My only regret is having waited so long into my life before reading it. Easily in my top 5 books ever. Such deeply immersive writing. I did end the final chapter still firmly of the opinion that Mr. Rochester ain't shit and Jane deserved better though. #Booksky

I challenged myself to read at least 10 of the classics this year and am already a 2 books down and halfway through the 3rd on that challenge. But why did no one warn me that reading Jane Eyre would alter my brain chemistry in such unexpected ways? The Bronte sisters were just phenomenal. #Booksky

January 2026 reading wrap. #Booksky

The snow outside my house is as tall as 2 of my dogs now. It's the most snow we've had in over 20 years. People around here can't drive in the rain so there is 100 cars stranded on the interstate currently.The national guard is having to help clear it.So clearly we're handling it well 😂

A rare NC snow day for these babies 🥹

My 10th book of January was Address Unknown by Katherine Kressmann Taylor. Technically a Novella but it packs a real punch in 64 pages. Heavy subject matter but recommended #booksky

Me reading a book synopsis and realizing that a book set in 1995 is now considered historical fiction.....

Thunder ice?! High potential of not having power when it's gonna be 3 degrees outside? I need these weather folks to just pull all these bad weather vibes back out of the world. No thank you. But, for real though.... stay safe and warm if you're in the path of this winter storm, internet friends.

7 books down so far in 2026 feels like a good start to the year... even if everything else is on fire. #booksky

Finished Rebecca by Daphe Du Maurier tonight. I did not go into it expecting to end up as obsessed with it as I am. What an absolute ride that was. #booksky

Biscoff Cheesecake

My controversial take of the week is that I think anyone caught up the whole "conformitygate" stranger things conspiracy needs to touch grass 🤷‍♀️

Did I make an internal agreement with myself to read less smut this year? Yes. Did I still join a morally grey books book club at my local used bookstore. Also yes.

Kicking off my 2026 reading goals with my new Kobo Libra Colour under a heating blanket on this cold 1st Saturday of 2026 #booksky

Started reading Hamnet late last night and couldn't put it down. Finished the entire book in less than 24 hours and it immediately became my book of the year for 2025. If you haven't read it and historical fiction is your jam, I highly recommend it. Beautifully written. #booksky

My little animal crossing character is my favorite 🥹

The same fedex driver has delivered a package from Swiftmas to my house almost every day this week. I just know this man is sick of seeing my house 😂🫣 I'm sorry, Judah. I will probably not do better next time.

How, in the year of 2025, have we not created a way of women getting their breasts scanned for breast cancer that doesn't involve squishing them like a damn pancake?

It's been nearly 24 hours now and I still can't stop smiling when I think about these homemade sourdough discard rolls I baked last night for dinner

It's so fucking frustrating to me to live in a country where my dr can increase a dose of a medication that I've been taking for 6+ months and my insurance company can just decide to deny it because my lab results improved.... because of the medicine.

Someone should have told me that the shredder attachment for my kitchenaid would change my life. Y'all pray for my lactose intolerant husband cause there is about to be so much shredded cheese temptation up in this house.

Pumpkin Creme brulee 🤤

I'm pretty sure when my husband married me, he never expected to hear the words "okay, my bread dough is in the dryer" but he didn't even flinch when I said it today. I guess he's learned to just expect the unexpected with me at this point 😂

Absolutely how your emails are finding me right now 😂

Chocolate chip sourdough cookies being my new favorite chocolate chip cookie wasn't on my 2025 bingo card but here we are 😍

Me all day today

The view from the house rental where I got to enjoy TLOAS to this weekend added so much to the experience.

We really need to stop assuming or implying that wanting a husband and children makes a woman conservative or less of a feminist. This is such a bad faith argument that is extremely harmful to women. That's all I have to say about the TLOAS discourse. Oh and it's a 10/10 album for me 🤷‍♀️

What I've been up to lately ❤️‍🔥

To the scammer who called my husband's phone at 6:30am on a Sunday pretending he had fraudulent charges on a Wells Fargo account that we don't have, I hope your pillow is always hot on both sides and you step on many legos.

Karen's are going to be clutching so many pearls over Man's Best Friend but I will be listening on repeat.

Taylor engagement news on the day pumpkin spice comes back to starbies?! Is it Christmas already, chat?

Sometimes you bake a whole tart on a Thursday evening

Went to see the Fantastic 4 movie and was standing chatting with some friends in the parking lot after when a couple of teenage boys walked by and told us people 45 and older have a curfew and we were out past it. I'm 37 and suddenly understand why my dad disliked teenagers when I was growing up.

Happy 5 year anniversary to my forever favorite album
