Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hi, I’m pregnancy.

Got to go out for my annual southern good luck meal of hush puppies and Hoppin’ Johns. Life is good.

Well, now it will be a happy new year!

Oh my! Loving this so far.

Vodka Boobs Chipotle Okay.

Truth.

The sun was shining again so a trip to the local wildlife sanctuary was in order.

See a Con, post a Con.

Merry Christmas to everyone from me and my grandson with his new present and Nona, my DIL’s new corn snake, Nona. #christmas

Christmas fit for today. #christmas

And Christmas prezzie fic number two for @waywardaf.bsky.social who wanted a Christmas with the serial killer boys. I loved writing this. I hope you like it. #ofmd #ofmdfanfic archiveofourown.org/works/76366241

The first of two Christmas prezzie fics is up. The first one is for @friskybizfan.bsky.social who asked for Izzy loved and happy. This is a trans Izzy/everyone fic set post S2 after Izzy comes back from the gravy basket. Enjoy! #ofmd #ofmdfanfic archiveofourown.org/works/76362571

Oh my goodness. The sun is out. The sun is actually shining. Outside. Right now. I can see it! First time I’ve seen the sun since we were at the coast for Thanksgiving. It’s a Christmas miracle.

My favorite Christmas song. youtu.be/riG85oA6Wy4?...

Lovely!!!

Why is he so pretty?!? He knew we needed this right now.

It was good to get out last night. Josh Johnson was so good and it was a treat to spend time with my DIL. They gave flowers to everyone and it was the sweetest thing.

I'm not feeling very cheerful with everything going on but I have tickets to go see Josh Johnson tonight with my DIL. Here's hoping it helps my heavy heart. Plus they are doing a toy drive as part of the show so I got go buy some toys to donate so that was fun.

2025 can fuck all the way off. Just found out from my work wife, who just got diagnosed with breast cancer, that her husband has stage four pancreatic cancer. The same thing that took my mom. They are putting him in palliative care now. I am so heartbroken. I'm just sitting here at my desk crying.

My favorite teacher from high school passed away a couple of weeks ago. He was the best man. He saw something in me I didn’t see and he helped me all through high school and into college when I was considering a music degree. He followed me as I ventured into theatre and always came to my shows. +

Fit for the gym’s Christmas party. The theme was “the 1920s” but this was as close as I could get. I love the sequins. It was held in this old saloon in the upstairs brothel. So fun!

Does anyone have suggestions on options to use now that I've deleted my Spotify account? I need something that I can use to make playlists for my spin classes. Thanks in advance.

#wipwednesday A little taste of my first Christmas wish fics. #ofmd

I saw this in the theater yesterday and I agree. Totally worth the watch. I'm still thinking about it today.

I just found out my absolute favorite teacher passed away. He was more than my music teacher. He was a source of inspiration and positivity. He believed in me when I didn’t. He became more than a teacher. He was a friend, a collaborator and a mentor. I’ll miss you, Mr. E. You help make me who I am.

Buttons?

Decided to compile my skyline fic onto AO3 for those who don't like to read in thread format. So if you wanna check out some (mostly) mean bottom dom Izzy with a praise starved Stede, you can! (prompt from @seraphknights.bsky.social) #stizzy #ofmd #ofmdfanfic archiveofourown.org/works/75314806

Stede groans pitifully as he thrusts in as deep as he can. He's been at this for feels like hours and he thinks he's going insane. All he wants to do is to come - well, that and to have Izzy call him a good boy. It hasn't happened yet, but Stede has heard him call Ed that and just the thought +

I was going to post this on Monday and promptly forgot. Oopsie! If you would like a little ficlet from me for Christmas, let me know and I'd love to write a little something for you. Just give me a pairing, rating, a prompt and if you want it holiday related or not. I'm happy to write in any +

Happy Birthday to my Lovely Yaz! @yaz113.bsky.social I wrote you a little something. I hope you like it. 🥰 archiveofourown.org/works/75031086 #stizzy #ofmd #ofmdfanfic

I had the best vegan thanksgiving meal with drink pairings and I’m feeling so good right now. So I’ll tell you I love you all!!

The view of Mendocino from the patio of our rental while I drink my coffee this morning. This does not suck. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. If you’re not celebrating, happy Thursday! If you need or want a mom hug today, I’m happy to assist. 🫂 #thanksgiving

Wow. I am ridiculous. I'm preparing for class for tonight and the playlist includes the song "MIC Drop". All this time I thought they were saying Asimov - as in the sci-fi writer - but they are really saying 'asthma cough'. Also, I call it the chicken nugget song because that's what I hear. 🙄🤦

Best park sign ever.

Omg!!! Wicked: For Good was great. I loved it. 😍 The theater had a Photo Booth so we had to get pics. Love me a fun mother/daughter date day.

Happy Wolfenoot to all who celebrate! 🐺🐶 #wolfenoot

Four Christmas movies to know me by.

Introduce yourself with the last 5 concerts you've seen : (Can I include comedians? I’m doing it!) Cyndi Lauper Foo Fighters Janet Jackson Pearl Jam Kathleen Madigan

OMG! The amount of money I would pay to see a Muppet Knives Out movie!!

One of my favorite things to do is take a long shower and make the water hotter and hotter until I'm bright red like a boiled lobster. Why does that feel so good and restorative? I don't know, but I love it.

Today is the last day to pre-order. I ordered mine yesterday! 🤗

I bought my ticket for today and figured I could watch at the airport if I had to. I’m glad I got to watch at home so I could squeal in peace!

Yay! That was wonderful!!

Okay folks. Are we ready?!? I’m so glad I made it home for this.

I made it home! Now to recover for the Izzy event tomorrow.

Getting ready to head to the airport to go back home. Wish me luck!

I’ve been wanting to go to the Lightscape show at the San Diego Botanic Garden for years. This year we were here while it was happening and I got us tickets. It was magical and I’m so happy right now.
