Tiaras go with everything, especially pjs (also M says hello)

After annihilating M at shuffleboard I have lost the next 3 games we’ve played so it’s time to deploy the satin pjs and tiara

Well I went right from sober to can’t type but I think this story is funny so I’ll do it hungover tomorrow instead

The two genders

On a personal level 2025 was an extremely mixed bag, but all my friends in my phone made it a little easier during the down times, as well as all the meetings that could’ve been an email So before I get into the prosecco and forget to say it, happy new year! May 2026 be gentler to us all

This is entirely because I am a sucker for anything related to Alice

I’ve now read this book cover to cover and made one of the recipes. It’s a great cookbook! The author is a Japanese chef who moved to Sweden and wrote the book for easy entry into cooking Japanese food including accounting for ingredients available at even a small Asian grocery store

Gonna head outside at midnight because I want my face to be the last thing 2025 sees before it dies.

Anyone got a good rice cooker recommendation? I am overwhelmed with choices

2025 is the year that I finally donated all of my triathlete support squad paraphernalia since M seemed to be fully out of his Ironman phase for quite some time now and then 6 weeks later my stepson told us he’s going to start training for Lake Placid 2027

For the fourth day in a row our gray cat has screamed to go outside, gets on her harness and leash, steps outside, immediately steps back inside

It’s a toss up between “Washington has been advised that the referee can award a score if this kind of behavior continues” and John Kruk wondering how the first person who made a clock knew what time it was

I have no idea what M is watching but the dialogue is incredible “I really love your balls” “Thanks! They’re store bought.”

Just found out my sister’s college friend that I sort of confiscated from her is going to be a grandad and listen I know technically we’re old enough to be grandparents but also what the absolute fuck

Our guests for NYE can’t make it (please send good vibes in their direction they could really use them) so I have way too many apps and a ton of Prosecco plus the day off. Maybe I’ll drink too much and tell the story of the live sex show we saw in Amsterdam on a Rick Steves’ recommendation

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

TV news was never exactly great, but the day we decided that "the news" meant "people arguing about the news" instead of "reporters producing stories about the news," I lost all interest in ever consuming it again.

Oh I bet this is the clip my friend told me about (checks notes) a week ago and I promised to listen to (checks notes) immediately and then promptly forgot about

Would

Orcas, DEPLOY!

I know this movie falls squarely in the inspiration porn category, but I have a friend who regularly walks sections of the Camino and his daily journals are some of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. I am firmly team pilgrimage walk.

M has put on The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and I have a lot of concerns about walking that far in boat shoes and also will someone please give this man a backpack so that he doesn’t lose his fingers from the plastic bag cutting off circulation

I am absolutely mesmerized by them, most specifically the counter cleaning www.instagram.com/reel/DS0VLo5...

Another recent purchase because ramen is one of my husband’s favorite comfort foods, and the opening sentence is no joke. The first 178 pages are just recipes and methods for various broths and noodles and then you get to the second half of the book and every recipe has like 5 sub recipes

I've waited 3 years to make this post

Plot twist: possibly won’t be making dinner for quite some time as while I was as out my husband decided to hook up the reverse osmosis thingy and the kitchen is currently somewhat in shambles

Oh I have a banger that covers both A group happened to be going to same wineries we were so we got to chatting and a woman asked my husband if he cheated on me because I’m fat and she was so impressed he said no she came over to rave about my excellent choice in spouses

Does anyone want to give me 12 thousand dollars? (Picture unrelated)

I am back from my Scranton adventures and that makes about 3 hours driving to and from the grocery stores so that I can make beef and rice but, like, ya know, Japanese style

Best thing Wegmans ever did is open stores in PA, say fuck you we’re actually a restaurant to the liquor control board, and get all the rules changed so I can get wine and groceries in one go

Anyone need anything from the Dunder Mifflin gift shop while I’m here

A parking app where I have to remember to go in and stop the time when I leave is diabolical

This morning we will be exploring the question of whether the comfort of these recipes is worth driving to Scranton for the ingredients

That part right there

I think about this way too much

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

M has decided to postpone The Right Stuff until tomorrow, which means it’s finally time for the finale of the horny hockey show

Maybe we’ll spend the week doing a Cold War dad movie marathon The Right Stuff counts for this, right?

I didn’t finish last night so M asked to start from the beginning and let me tell you how much he really appreciates that I have all the dialogue memorized and shout out lines at random

M has not taken the next couple of days off work but I have and also my new drum kit has arrived so I foresee much domestic bliss for the rest of the week

Let me tell you a thing you should not do if you’ve never smoked weed but have smoked cigarettes and want to experience a coffee shop in Amsterdam because when in Rome and all that You should not smoke a joint the way you smoke a cigarette. Big mistake. Huge.

I cannot stop laughing and also this is why I only take them at home

whatever 2026 holds i don't think anything next year will be funnier than Chicago Pope. 2025 was overall a huge stinker but Chicago Pope was an all time great B-plot

And this is why social media, for all its horrors, is still amazing.

The whole world is setup for ASPD people and I think those of us who are DSPD should rise up and take over for awhile. We can do it at 8pm when they’re all sleeping

Turns out the way I could help was connecting people as this guy’s phone interview is with a person that my friend helped get onto the team he’s applying for 🙌🙌🙌

When you’re a cat and don’t know it’s pretend to work week so you’re still trying to get your preferred human up to his office
