Convinced the teen that the pink embroidered corset at the consignment store looked a lot better with the silky navy cargo pants rather than the short black skirt.

All these babies growing up and dating each other 😭😭😭

Reminded H voting is getting on a bus, not getting married.

Voter 93 at the library today!

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at. And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

Apparently I should have been watching the monitors rather than the internet bc there is a gate change. Made it here. Fingers crossed we make it there.

Playing on my phone while it charges before HOPEFULLY getting on the standby flight. What's entertaining today?

Back when the middle went to tot shabbat and storytime at the J we sang the wheels on the bus. Being led by lefty Jewish librarian she let the kids tell her what got on the bus and just rolled with it. So the kiddo is big and brave and calls out their bus companion. Every adult heard Ghosts.

My cute husband pops up from his phone 'oh, I thought the village voice sounded familiar. Did you know it's an old newspaper?' Had the wikipedia's article up and everything.

The Black Dandy exhibit at the met was great. Getting to watch dandies looking at the exhibit was even better.

Love is waiting in the line at juliana's and sending your huz to the ice cream factory.

I get that it's a matinee and I'm in the top most section but when in the fuck did people start whispering to each other during the opera??????

Think I just saw stevie van zandt

We are sharing this theater with one other person

Over coffee we decided to go see Jacob's Ladder at the IFC this morning. Just going to enjoy being on vacation without the kids in one of my favorite cities that H has never experienced as an adult.

Cute. A couple of 20 yos talking after, "That was dark" "Did that make sense? "

H has reminded me that the last time we saw a play together the world shut down within a week. Apologizing in advance for what happens next. Q

So excited to see Waiting For Godot tonight. I jumped on the presale this spring and it's finally happening

We are ridiculous. Thought today would be a good day to find someone to fix H's watch. Lmk when you get it.

My Papa peeled potatoes in the Marines in WW2. Hungry soldiers dont do well, see every war ever.

Omg. Huz's car loan is prepaid by like 3 payments but bc they did not receive a payment within a date range they charged me a late fee. Paying it off with another loan this week bc if you cannot figure out basic shit I do not want you sending me invoices and bills

Taking a trip with just the huz to NY so of course I'm thinking about revising my will and having dreams airports without gate numbers for a 2 stop flight with 15 min connections. LOVE my anxiety disorder.

My children each have a tbr pile that includes new and rereads.

Anyone else see the anti Leo posters up this weekend from The Youngins? Not an endorsement of anyone else, just a call to say nope to Leo

Are people around him just feeding him endless streams of AI videos? Or have they just put a mad max VHS on loop for him?

The teen has now gone on multiple dates with a kid we've known since 2011 and I have to keep reminding myself these are dates not hang outs or playdates

Love Mandy Carter as grand marshall!!!

Yay pride is not on a major jewish holiday this year but are we going to be rained out?

a sniveling coward who makes up for his deep-seated feelings of inadequacy by worshipping death, violence and the domination of others — many such cases

Mycena haematopus - Burgundydrop Bonnet. #FungiFriends

Read the Chotiner interview to the teen who interrupted me with Kissenger. KISSINGER? so the kids are all right

Two interesting things from my 27701 for sale alerts. We have $1k/sqft listings and many 'back on the markets' The latter usually happens in sept as things dont appraise and there's a desperate 'get this house sold before winter' but that first one is wild to me.

Mwahahaha The 16yo has now experienced a teacher telling her that understanding the concept not getting the right answer is the point of the assignment.

Nekot peanut butter crackers are the bomb.

The one local coffeeshop that is open when I get off 95 has delicious looming pastries and every one I've gotten needed to be baked another 2 minutes. Tried again thinking a cake donut was safe. Nope!

Love being the parent who sees a book on the shelf of the classroom library and tells the teacher, 'that author is a fucking terf' and expect my kiddo to tell anyone who picks up the book to read that the author hates trans kids.

Before I start my day, the telephone town halls make me so mad because they are fake and controlled. The questions are preselected varieties of 'what can we do instead of expecting leadership in DC' The meeting abruptly ends in an hour Special guests take most of the time

Shana Tova yall

Omg. I find these telephone townhalls enraging. No notice, no caller id, just a spam looking number and 'we will auto connect you'

11 having a phone and currently unfettered access to facetime means I have multiple tweens opining about the amount of chores this weekend. Trying to deep clean the downstairs before my MIL arrives in 2 weeks. Wish me luck.

Thinking that the trader Joe's fritos are not salty enough is probably a sign I need to balance my electrolytes huh.

Spending Saturday night with 8 in Chapel Thrill. Paperhand night!

Hey @ovenall.bsky.social I'm at the Raleigh market. Want me to pick you up a gallon? ($15)

Back in the days of Tom my tagline was something about my desk being covered in five day old coffee cups. Most people incorrectly took it to mean the cups had been there 5 days. Back on my bullshit. But only slightly. Many of those are decaf.

Thinking to myself, damn why cant I keep a thought in my head and realizing I'm rawdogging reality for who knows how many days. This is why I cant take black box medications Relatedly, I havent even had caffeine for who knows how long.

I think I'm going to perlys today

Lol and in support of my last skeet.

Why is our congresswoman mentioning that man in her constituent email? Why is she giving platitudes to a bill, continuing to mention it by name, and saying it's our job to step in rather than ... I dunno... actually fighting? And please hire an editor. The message is too damn long.

I have at least 7 rain jackets at home that fit me and all of them are at home and not in my ca or bag or with me where it has been raining for two days.
