Nobody stirs martinis, James. Get over yourself.

Remembered I can wear kid sizes in shoes and scored Merrell hiking boots for 79 bucks. Are they pink? Yes, they are. But 79 bucks!

Despite his special pre-appointment meds, Watson was still a frumious bandersnatch at the vet today and had to be heavily and expensively sedated. The good news is they were able to do everything they needed to do. The bad news is the sedative REALLY did not agree with him.

People talk about Friends being unrealistic because of the giant apartment, but the most unrealistic thing about it was that Monica was a chef, but she was always around in the evenings.

Let this dude brighten your day for a minute.

I read this stupid book in high school for debate team research and it scared the crap out of me, so I am really enjoying this debunking episode.

UVA about to kick off against Stanford, a team that is in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Roscoe outdid himself this morning, swallowing and barfing up not one, but two intact socks. This is the same dog who ate the collar out of my $45 Spirit t-shirt, turning it into an 80s off-shoulder number that Jennifer Beals would envy.

All the way, I expect

OMG! Muppet flailing! Professional photos by Stacey Evans Photography.

This is awful. This poor girl and her family. This guy was my 16yo's favorite artist. He listened to all his music, bought t-shirts and vinyls, and went to a recent show. He wanted to trust, but the situation looks worse by the day. What a horrible, shitty introduction to "never meet your heroes."

Not everything is a fucking competition, Toad.

Fair point, but would

I think I just witnessed the small dog running to the door and barking so that the big dog would follow him and he could steal the big dog’s spot. I respect the ploy, but what a dick.

Campbell’s: Go big or go home

At 17 pages, can I still call it a "memo"? That's a report, right?

I usually only bother with the obituaries, but I will be reading the hell out of this #uva

Where have u been all my life

There is a baby laughing uproariously somewhere in the Torpedo Factory and it is just the very best sound.

I did no such thing.

If I had not already canceled my subscription over the Post’s refusal to support a Black woman (withholding Harris endorsement), I would the hell be doing it now.

I just got suspicious and checked the date on the cottage cheese I had already taken a few bites of and it was August 1 AMA

I’ll play because dessert is the best course. Best pie: sour cherry Best ice cream: B&J Gimme S’more Best donut: any one with fruity icing at Just Fine Donuts Best bar: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Best cake: my MIL’s carrot cake or my Texas Sheet Cake Best other: blondies with white choc and dried strawberries

This is so freaking adorable

Reminding myself to move slowly and deliberately when I stand up to refill my coffee bc if I get up too quickly, the dogs think Something Is Up and spring into action (follow me into the kitchen but somehow also end up in front of my goddamn feet all the goddamn time)

This idea popped into my head a few months ago and wouldn’t go away, so here it is. “Come to My Party” (2025), cotton and metallic threads, merino wool, glass beads, stainless steel wire. #crochet #crochetsky #freehandcrochet 🧶

Love to get 90% done with something and then decide I need to do it completely differently. #crochet #crochetsky #freehandcrochet 🧶

You can think someone is a bad person and also think no one should be shooting him or anyone else. Both of those are opinions you can have at the same time.

The 16yo sent me this the other day - lol

In 5th grade I wrote a multi-stanza Halloween poem, "The Magic Cat." The teacher loved it and had me perform it for the class. They were mostly appreciative, but one girl refused to believe I wrote it and accused me of copying it from somewhere. I was livid at the time, but it's been 40 years. 1/

Last night, over the noise of bar trivia, @jsands.bsky.social told me a story about friends of ours who recently saw ghosts right here in town. They even got pictures and video. “Wow, she is taking this REMARKABLY calmly,” I thought to myself. A minute later, I realized she was talking about goats.

This series of li’l sea creatures is now in the fiber show at Colonial Beach Artists’ Guild. Each one is 2x3 inches, freehand crocheted with embroidery thread and fun fur yarn. 🧶 #crochet #fiberart

Current situation

16yo: [uses the F word in casual conversation] Me: Uh, excuse me? 16yo: Oh, sorry. I forgot to code switch.

The label does the opposite of making me want to eat this

Man, I wish I loved anything as much as CBS loves knuckling under to this administration

Got up this morning and came downstairs to make coffee and everything just felt “off” for some reason. I couldn’t figure out what is wrong with me today. I felt okay, but also just weird. Then I realized I had not put my glasses on. My glasses that I need in order to see. 🙄

16yo’s tiny school for quirky kids is putting on a Ren Faire today. Honestly tough to tell at drop-off which kids are dressed for the Faire and which ones are just having a regular Thursday.

If you take a drink every time you see a sandwich thrower in the Del Ray Halloween parade, how drunk will you get?

Well, at least every single famous UNC alum is on hand to watch Belichick get his ass handed to him in his first game.

Years ago, our 3yo wandered away at the Ren Faire. After several heart-stopping minutes of searching, someone finally pointed him out to me. He was standing in the cheesecake-on-a-stick line, confused that no one was giving him any. Today, 13 years later, he finally got his cheesecake-on-a-stick.

If I didn’t already know it was Ren Faire day, the neighbors in wench dresses would have had me mightily confused.

Drop-off day for the Second Time Around show at Del Ray Artisans. All the pieces must be at least 50% recycled materials. Just LOOK at this life-sized tuna made from bubly cans! Artist is Theodore Carter.

Finished in a tie! Q'final hopes still alive for USA Women! Amazing result that feels like a win for the US and probably feels like a loss to the Aussies. #womensrugbyworldcup2025
