Just a historian witnessing history again who really like it to be a boring decade rather than a constantly historic one.

Oh the poor reds

Went to a thing, had the word vomit situation again… if only we had kept talking about baseball… or Boston…

Every year on the first day of postseason baseball, I think crazy thoughts like: what if manfred made the playoffs free for subscribers, or at least audio, or games were on broadcast tv channels (I know the cubs are on abc today). I guess it remains a what if because being kind to fans is hard #mlb

My email from the Democratic Party came today… it was still super mehhhh. Today is a very obvious day to fight and be clear who the problem truly is… but mehhh

I’ve been listening to my music library more lately and this morning I was gifted “Autumn in New York” with Ella & Louie and good golly is it lovely for the last day of September. #musicmatters #listening

Why yes, I am wearing my Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book earrings today. One of my favorite purchases this year! #styling

I’m reading a cookbook from 2004 that’s bed and breakfast best recipes. There’s a recipe for a strawberry drink to serve as a breakfast smoothie with white wine. No wonder bed and breakfasts are disappearing! There’s no wine for breakfast! 🤣

I see we are using the term “deal” quite loosely again today. It can’t be a deal until both parties agree but sure, sure …

If the 90s are back can Hugh Grant hair come back? I love that style. Forget mustaches I want Hugh Grant hair.

Just another good night of baseball ruined by appletv games… thanks manfred #mlb #bennetiisbetter

Started the week with #mariahmonday and ending with #aerosmith on Friday… seems pretty fitting for the week. #musicmatters #millennialmusic

I don’t always agree with Jefferson but when he talks about an educated public and electorate, I 💯 agree! I’m working daily to educate and hope that we all can do a bit more.

Share your favorite black and white movie…

Detroit made me sad so I guess #LFGM

I miss the zen baseball commercial breaks… mostly because the cloud advertisement trying to be that is just annoying as shit. Classic #mlb take a good thing and make it annoying…

What if … facebook had remained just for college kids… I mean what a different world it would be.

Millennial & Gen X Alert: I have declared it a Mariah Monday. You’re welcome! #MakeItHappen #DreamLover #Fantasy

How do people update their phones if they don’t have a MacBook?

Boss: just use AI it’ll help you Me: I’m only using my brain thanks boss: it’ll be faster Me: worth it I will not…

I really dislike that MLB no longer shows the magic numbers. I don’t understand why but it really bothers me.

For reasons I cannot explain, vacuuming only happens in the morning during the week. Sunday doesn’t count. No matter how hard I try.

Yeah okay but they seldom make history

Also contrary to what the speaker of the house just said on TV, Congress can pass a budget without the president’s approval. It’s called overriding a veto.

It’s crazy to me that the majority party is back to doing a CR… how incompetent can congress be?

We’ve reached a place rarely known to Cardinals #stlcards fans… cheering for the reds to make the wild card. They’re fun and it’s a good story. Let’s go reds!

A huge perk to going to a conference is finding things stashed in your wardrobe that you forgot about.

The trumpet anthem was exceptional for today. Taps meets anthem. Arguably the best thing from TNF on Prime ever.

They just don’t make them like they used to! The Netherlands never disappoints no matter how many times I’m in it. #aaslh #architecturenerd #artdecoheaven #historicbuilding #cincy

How old am I? So old I injured myself sleeping. Getting old isn’t for the faint of heart!

I just might be going through liked posts to bookmark them! 😎😎😎

If the dog gets skunked, first you’ll try to clean him and bring him in the house. Then you’ll regret it and the whole house will smell. The. You’ll clean him again. Then you’ll clean the bedroom. Then you’ll tell him no sleeping on the bed until he’s less stinky.

Did you know that rabbits can spray urine at dogs? Don’t ask how I know… #fridayfacts

Millennial alternative rock is the playlist today which means the world better watch out because the kids aren’t alright and you might want to wait until September ends… #musicmatters #rocking

It’s official. I have started styling for #AASLH next week! Combos has begun… colors and ideas are percolating. Will I see you there? #conferenceprep. To be clear, my work for said conference not even close to done, but #priorities. #skystorians #publichistorylife

They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal

A little bit of nature for ya. We got a little bit of rain yesterday so we have a little bit of falls… #naturerocks #getoutside

My biggest garden win of the summer is arugula is still going strong and I have no idea how or why but I’m enjoying yet another tasty arugula, beer, and feta salad.

In true me fashion, I’m fasting for lab work today and you know I js a dream that I got up and had popcorn for breakfast (never have I ever) and then couldn’t do my lab work because sure why not.

I didn’t make any unplanned purchases this weekend and that feels like a big time win… so many sales and ads.

Recipe #1 is almost done and I finished my book! Only 2 more recipes to go I think 🤪

We have all these flexible style shoes these days (hey dudes and sketchers) do the kids even know what a shoe horn is?

Somehow I’ve waited until today to make corn chowder. Of course it was worth the wait. And now I’m also trying convince myself to save a pint or two for my future self… hard to tell how that will work out🤣#summereats

Personally, I prefer tan suits to brownshirts.

I love getting responses from my political reps long after I sent them my request and long after they decided not to listen to me and did what they wanted. The cop out reason was a gem too… #illkeepemailing #votethemout

There was a brief moment while doing my hair this morning that my curls jutted out and I looked a little bit like Pippi Longstocking. I’m kinda sad it went away. #longtimefan 😂

Oh you know watching former #stlcards on the @mets.com and @phillies.com game rather than the birds because… yea…

Friends I need you to know that I had a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza today for $2! It was just like the Book It days of old (I did finish a book Sunday). I missed the box, they come in an aluminum container now, but gosh was it delicious and nostalgic bliss. #facts #whataday #bookitpizzakid

It’s cool enough today that I can wear clothes from the wardrobe that I’ve been jonesing for since at least 4th of July!

The conclusion of this Monday includes a strange fact. The kitchen and I are fighting. I tried to clean it up twice today but somehow it’s worse than when the day started 🤷🏻‍♀️ we will start a new day and see where it all ends up.
