Virginia today: 💙

Best soundtrack from the 90’s but you can’t say Dazed and Confused or Empire Records. My pick would be the Jawbreaker soundtrack.

Turnstile tiny desk concert 😍 Now I’m even more sad I’m going to miss their RVA show.

The sunset must have been good today. This is all I can see from my backyard though. #rva

I can only afford to try a few things this #hottomatosummer and today I was able to snag the Pomod’oro of the day at Baltik’s Bagels. The tomato bagel is so cute! The vodka sauce cream cheese flavor is fantastic. The whole thing is delicious!

It’s hot cherry tomato summer at my house. #hottomatosummer #rva

I went on threadless dot com to see if they still sell the goatse shirt that I have and it turns out they do, they’re still going strong and they still have $12 t-shirts.

Do you think if that CEO guy and his mistress hadn’t completely freaked out on the Jumbotron that no one would have even noticed? Or at least it wouldn’t have gotten posted on TikTok with millions of views within hours?

I’m not a Lana fan but I do got that summertime sadness.

A Norfolk Southern train came by as we were writing in the Dear Richmond journal.

My baby is not a baby anymore. #highschoolgraduation #classof2025

Took my mom to see Pat Benatar tonight and she had a blast (she said so afterwards) but she did not show it the whole time lmao.

It’s my first time at the Altria tonight. Pretty nice! (I’ve heard mixed things about it.)

This is the only picture I took while watching Weakened Friends at Richmond Music Hall. They’re great btw, you should listen to them.

We came home today to find that someone had run over one of our groundhogs. (A wild animal that lives in the woods adjacent to our house and occasionally visits our property to munch on clovers.) Did want to leave him out there in the middle of the road so we gave him a proper resting place.

Beautiful day to be at King’s Dominion, the weather is perfect with a great breeze, and not too crowded. However, if you want to go on any rides, good luck to you. So far we’ve had 5 rides go down either while we were on them or when we were about to get on them.

Took the 16 year old to the bins this morning for some early #thrifting He found some items he liked for himself but was excited about this 2000 Masters hat in perfect condition. That will be a resell because he has to fund his thrifting adventures somehow.

Way way more than six times.

I waited way too long to get my hair cut. It feels so insanely better to not have bangs in my face and a little less length overall.

Supervised yard time for the ladies. Until I fell asleep.

Another day, another Baltiks Bagel in the car wash.

A little (sort of big) backyard buddy. We surprised each other, had a short staring contest, then went our separate ways.

Richmond, you sold Baltik Bagels out of their Asiago + pink pepper bagels today so I had to get my Tuscan Dirty Bird on a lemon pepper. (My favorite bagel.) It was delicious. Would definitely eat it this way again.

The best 6 seconds on her life tonight.

The child requested to be at the front. I’m more of a back of the room or side wall gal, but it’s her concert tonight.

Messy bathroom selfie before we (my daughter and I and our friends) wait in line to see Beach Bunny in Charlottesville.

For #NationalPetDay I got to put together a collage of photos of my colleagues pets for the company social media. I wish I could do this everyday but I have to talk about digital marketing most of the time instead.

While all you morons were putting cash into your 401ks, I spent my adulthood investing in magic beans. They all laughed at me, but look where we are now. In the post-apocalyptic Hellscape, the one who controls the beans is queen.

Does anyone else try to match the bags that come out at baggage claim to the person they think is going to pick it up? (Happy to be home in Richmond, VA!)

My dad was an optician by day & musician the rest of the time. He was classically trained in several string instruments, eventually sticking with the bass. He could play literally any song, all he had to do was hear it or have sheet music. Tonight we stopped to see one of the many bands he was in.

A little belated, but this is our spot to come throw a few rose petals in the water at Victoria Beach (Laguna Beach, CA) and watch them be carried out to sea in remembrance of my dad. He passed in Feb 2022, but we had to push our visit back a couple months this year.

if a piece of legislation has a name like "The Protecting Poor Defenseless Children from Evil Online Terrorists and Kidnappers Act of 2025" you can be damn sure that what it actually does is fund facial recognition equipped robo-murder dogs and make it a felony to listen to Chappel Roan in public

Why yes I do have a Google sheet listing all the DVDs I own so when I’m thrifting I can cross reference it to not buy doubles. Yes I did this because I have three copies of Hairspray.

Touched down in Long Beach, CA. (Best airport!) A little daughter/mom/grandma trip plus visiting family and friends.

Off on a spring break adventure.

I’m still thinking about this patty melt from Brave Captain. My husband ordered it and offered me a bite. I almost wish he hadn’t because now I really need one of my own. #RVA #RVAFood #RVARestaurants

Spring in my front yard. #RVA

A little clip from of montreal’s set tonight. You know this one.

I swoon for smoon. @strawberrymoon666.bsky.social @thebroadberry.bsky.social #RVA

Excited to see Richmond, VA’s number one rock band @strawberrymoon666.bsky.social tonight! And of course Of Montreal too. Gonna be a fun one. #RVA

A glazed old fashioned, preferably the kind with the crispy edges.

After dinner a big beautiful opossum crossed the road in front of us on Cumberland St. That’s good luck in Richmond.

Happy 19th wedding anniversary to me and @iamgiantrobot.bsky.social We wanted to celebrate at @cobraburger.bsky.social but of course it had to fall on a Tuesday. Any other suggestions for a tasty dinner spot in Richmond, VA tonight? We’re open to all cuisines.

Love to see Baltik Bagels so packed on a Tuesday afternoon! I come here every week after I drop my mom off at PT and it’s usually pretty slow around this time. I never want them to go away. #RVA

LOL at whoever just tried to buy $600 worth of tools with my credit card. Sorry! I’m broke and maxed and out. Now I have to wait for a new credit card. 🙄

Using our Broadberry Membership to check out Cartoon Rave. The youths are having a great time. #RVA

never liked Gavin Newsom, but he played his hand all wrong. he could have leaned into being lib Darth Vader and ran on a platform of revenge and really gotten some excitement behind him but instead he's choosing to simply be a milquetoast Dem who happens to be evil in his spare time

Hell yes.
