The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something

I call cleaning clothes “[doing the] washing” and Tex calls it “[doing] laundry” so now Peanut asks to see “the LAW-SHE” every time we walk past our washer/dryer

In an inauspicious beginning to the year, I accidentally took trazodone instead of my day time meds. It started hitting me as I was preparing my breakfast and I had to climb upstairs veeeeerrryyy slowly and crawl back into bed before I passed out. Tex just sent me this picture from the kitchen.

Busted out my new hot chocolate maker and ooooh boy, my doctor is not going to be happy about the choices I make this year.

My lovely MIL gifted me a really nice FujiFilm Instax for Christmas and it stopped working correctly like halfway through my first roll of film :/

Off to bed. Deeply thankful for the wonderful Twinja and Twinja-adjacent community we have here. Love y’all!

A thing I do when out at places like the zoo or at a special event is spot families taking turns being in pictures and ask if they want one all together. Bonus is sometimes they offer back and we get a cute family pic as a memento too!

Really reassuring to find out I didn’t just hallucinate Angela Anaconda as a kid

Tex spent the morning at the children’s museum with Peanut while I worked like a chump.

When you get to chatting with the crunchy mums in your neighbourhood

If I were a restaurant I would simply NOT put mix beef in with lamb and call it a lamb ragù

If you’ve ever mistakenly tried to explain an online thing to someone that hasn’t sanded their brain down like a bowling ball, because they saw you laughing and asked what it was…what was it? I’ll start. That Folgers ad. Impossible to explain to a normie. Didn’t go well.

No, YOU fangirled at your favorite meteorologist at the park 😅 @mattlanza.bsky.social thanks for being such a friendly bloke!

Me when I get a chance to relax at home by myself:

Hope you’re all having a lovely day. Merry Christmas from the Pew gang

Merry Christmas from the happiest dog in Texas [citation needed]

I just watched A Charlie Brown Christmas for the first time and I did not care for it.

My husband is going to be out of a job in a week because the restaurant he manages is shutting down. It’s really putting a damper on the ol’ holiday spirit this year.

I’ll get the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

New nurse blew out my One Good Vein™️

Silver Glans, like that one Dean Martin Christmas song?

Also every time we do professional pictures I briefly wobble on my decision to keep Peanut totally private. They are so lovely and charming in all of these!

My FIL, telling a story “there was a little foreign man there-“ Tex: “that’s an unnecessary detail Dad” FIL: “no I have to mention it because I want to do the accent!” Proceeds to do a terrible MAYBE broad Middle Eastern accent.

Got our gallery back from Tex’s family photos, and Charlie Morton looks like she’s being held hostage in every single one.

I have sent my husband 10 increasingly hysterical texts in a row about my poop

My reason for not caring for Avatar is I dated someone that worked on the movie and all his friends were work friends so I heard about it non-fucking-stop for months and then we had a horrible break up right before it came out. It’s permanently tainted for me.

The Afghans turned out really great. I’m really proud of myself (even though this was mainly Tex cough) for pulling this off. Peanut helped too!

Cookie exchange was a success! Only one of the old white ladies said something racist!

The older I get the more “demi” I feel overall but omg the way my stomach clenches when I see Mae Martin…

Whoops up two hours past my bedtime (again)

██ █ ████ everything ███ █████ is █████ ████ ████ fine ████ ███ █ ██████ love. █████ ███████ ███ your █████ ████ government.

If I started regularly communing with the dead I wouldn’t tell anyone, but there would be seances.

in this house we cherish the holiday classics 🎄

I know I know some excel whizzes, can I bug someone in their DMs for a quick data filtering question?

Potentially silly question. Where does one go to find baubles/ornaments last minute that isn’t Amazon or Target? We went from a 1.5ft tree to a 4ft this year and only own 5 ornaments

I used airport wheelchair services when I was still weak from having my jaw surgery. I could walk short distances just fine but would never have made it through an airport!

We’re an “All-idays” family!

Trump Announces 5,000% Increase In All Numbers

Someone on my team who has over 10 years of wealth management experience was confused by tax withholding today. And was also confused by it yesterday. She called it “a wonky one” but it was literally just “here’s, the gross amount, we’re withholding 93% in federal taxes, so here’s the net amount”

I had plans tonight but the other person asked for a rain check!!!

Merry Christmas! It's the Hater's Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog! defector.com/the-2025-hat...

Whoops, up two hours past my bedtime

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON

Ugh I sent a bazillion GOTV postcards for Osoff and I’m really regretting spending that time, effort, and money on such a turd.

I invited a fellow manager to my team’s 2026 goal setting meeting, which had an agenda and speakers and stuff. And THIS BITCH. Kept piping up and interrupting and “answering” every question from MY TEAM. And then was like “teeheehee I’m so CHATTY today, I’ll mute now” and then just started up again.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

I need to get up and take my meds/brush my teeth/get into PJs but Charlie Morton has her sweet little head resting in my lap.
