We split the hibiscus in half. Put them in wheelbarrows to be easier to move. Had to redo them today but I think all is good.

Y’all?! We moving my hibiscus.

Ok. Here we go. I’ve got 14 to gift, first come first serve. It’s the Sunday paper so it’s a bit cumbersome but if you want the whole thing, I’ll send it. Or let me know you just want the magazine with Blair’s essay. DM me as opposed to using a Google Sheet.

Y’all?! It’s here.

I’ve got a dingle dong barking at deer! We are home!

Sunset in North Texas : y’all? Our 80+ year old pet sitter took these incredible pictures tonight. I can barely work my own phone.

Who wants a moment of levity?! Two ducks have made it to the Women’s Final Four in PHX!!

Lake Minnetonka Klondike Dog Derby is retiring their race. I am so sad, to say the least, but greatly respect their decision to respect the time and money of their volunteers, sponsors, and community. Photos from their Facebook group, as I don’t see an account I can share directly here. #uglydogs

I went to a nursery I’ve not been to before but I wanted some hibiscus advice. Oh no! Got some new plants.

How about something different?! Just to maybe change focus.

I can’t keep track of anything but this post and Vogue (what?!) article are pretty cool. I love seeing more Alaskan natives running the race.

If you are able, consider support Alaska schools. #igivearod2026 www.donorschoose.org/igivearod26?...

I had a ladybug roommate in Ohio. I lost track of her so couldn’t get her back outside. 😕

Tips for calling them in: You will be kind and courteous. That's not optional. Calling in dad jokes makes the volunteers laugh as well as possibly a sleep deprived musher. I've called in grams for camera crew, for trail crew and for other volunteers before. They'll try. Mostly, be kind.

Help me plan a party? 🎉

Susan just came in from the garage and said, so there is a rat in the garage who I think ate some poison. ☠️

Women’s hockey is way better than curling. #sorrynotsorry (this is a post directed to my own partner who continues to enjoy arguing about curling with me). No disrespect, curlers.

Leaving MSP in a long sleeve Beargrease shirt to then land at DFW at 83 is flat out rude.

New travel duck!! 🦆 Captain Karen resides permanently in my car. This is Beaux. He likes tequila, bingo and Minnesota.

We are trying so hard to get rid of this ice and snow. But I’m also trying to someone to give it up. Do you need a bigger blowtorch?!

Went to the Dollar Store yesterday for milk but none to be had bc Texas snow storms. 🙄 But I got ducks!! Elsa, Olaf and Ariel!! (I never go to the Dollar Store but might start!!)

Captain Karen got to cross the lift bridge in Duluth at Canal Park then gazed at it from our room.

THE chairs are at the Finish

I have to keep doing this or I’m going to go insane. We made it to the Trestle Inn but missed the mushers. 🤷 120 finishes there.

Captain Karen is a mess but I think she likes Minnesota.

Y’all?! We stayed long enough to see Erin from Otter Run! I forgot to show her I’ve got an OR shirt on. And that’s Susan hollering because of course. 😬 #UglyDogs

Y’all?! Guess what?! We made it!!

I don’t even know how to be anymore. It’s insanity. It’s why I have ducks. And her name is Captain Karen after a Key West fishing captain. Because what else am I doing?! JFC

We made it to Chicago. Flight to Duluth is at 8 PM but seems better than driving. Now struggling to find a rental car in Duluth. Good times. Also?! I travel with a duck in case you were wondering.

Y’all!? I got more DUCKS and some SpongeBob peeps! I need Plankton though.

Traveling is the absolute worst. Flying to FL for women’s basketball. Meeting friends (who flew from Houston) who had a dude take his shoes off. I said I can top that.

I’m creating herds (not of longhorns)

Y’all?! How about more ducks?! Someone (and I will figure out who) told me that Michael’s has ducks. I went to try and find clear coat spray to seal some dried flowers. I instead found ducks. #makeyourownsunshine

The Dallas Mavericks (for which we have season tickets 🙄) traded for this guy for basically a bag of Skittles). Giving up Luka. How long before BetMGM posts, should AD have surgery or not?! This is the dumbest timeline.

Y’all?! More ducks!! Even if my state is dumb bullshit (which we all know that it is), I accidentally stumbled upon cheap Walmart ducks. And a longhorn!!

Y’all?! We have a SECOND POTATO. It’s quite gross. And I’m still baffled about where they are coming from. Deer?! Are my only guess.

I don’t know what is happening right now. But walked about to some incredible sky views.

@dwaynefuhlhage.bsky.social this made me think of you. We are in a sushi in Dallas.

Um?! I got more ducks. These are nativity ducks. I’m not a religious person by any stretch of imagination. But I’ll come up with some sort of placement. They will likely get separated. Here and the Dallas apt.

Y’all?! Susan got me a new duck. His name is Guido. And he smokes weed! Happy New Year!!

Um? I live in the country (sort of against my will - I’m a Dallas girl) but where the hell did a russet potato come from?! All the way in the corner of the primary property?! It’s not a person. But what animal carried it then dropped it.

This is how country I am now. This was for parking on C Eve. I lived in Dallas for 20+ years and now we do this. I mean, everyone loved it…

I put some ducks in some of my plants 🪴

Y’all?! I got some NYC ducks last night!! Carried them in my coat pockets all night!!

This is 100% me. Wait?! I took a nap?

So speaking of Macbeth (which, yes, I know no one is talking about). I’m on Taylor Swift 25-7. I found this book that belonged to my grandmother. Copyright is 1899. Just saying.

We had a friend over for a few days. This is her kitty’s paw. Her name is QWERTY. 🤓 #caturday

Has anyone seen Winona Ryder’s Hot Wing’s episode?! Where she talks about the movie, Heathers?! I tried to link it and I couldn’t quite get it. I need some discourse and not just bc that is my name.

Now house ducks. And I’m not even done yet.

Apartment ducks!! Susan is so tolerant of my bullshit. I’ve finally gotten my hormones right (and if anyone wants to message me about it, please do). I’m much more pleasant to be around. And DUCKS!!
