When I’m reading a book ppl think that’s the time to interrupt me as if I’m not doing anything. It is easier to deal with ?s while working than while reading. With a book I’m in a different state/country/planet. Trying to notice clues to solve a mystery. Learning life lessons. Please let me be.

NFC East Champs back2back!!! And I’m so happy for Tank 🥹!!!!

I got a Slushy machine for Isaac and couldn’t wait to have it opened and get it going. He (and my mom) looooove slushies and those types of drinks. I’m glad it was on sale for the season.

@datedateline.bsky.social for Katie. I got this shirt because I think it’s funny that it’s exactly how the lyrics sound, not because I love Blink 182 lol.

Our seats came with access to the SoFi club and free food and drinks/alcohol. And we could go behind the Eagles bench and see the players closer.

Got to see family in the Sacramento area. They are so warm and loving and fun. It was a great time seeing them.

Went to the Eagles 🦅 game in LA and even though I’m bummed about the loss it’s still GO BIRDS & QB1 for me. We had great seats and lots of fun cheering with other Eagles fans.

100%

Got to have a nice meal with @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social today. And I made sure to wear an outfit where you can’t tell if I’m in prison or not if this was for a Dateline episode 🤣

Got my nails ready for the Eagles game I’m going to Go Birds!

Oh yeah our fence got finished the other day. Now our Sheba girl can run around outside. Next up is replacing the dead trees that came with the house.

Isaac got me a Jalen Hurts Super Bowl MVP card. ♥️ Wish I could get it signed when we go to the game in a couple weeks.

The potatoes look more yellow than they are in person. And I was too hungry to brown it. I was starving!!! I could barely walk after I made ribeye, scalloped potatoes, and Hungarian mushroom soup. But I’m really glad I did it. 😋

I’ve been after this jacket for a while and finally got it. Thinking about wearing it to the Eagles vs Chargers game.

Our fence is going up. They started on the neighbors’ side and they just dug the holes for our side today. This is the shared wall we’ll have with the neighbor. Our house is on the right. We wanted a gray fence to match the house better & it’s nicer but the price difference was insanely expensive.

Happy anniversary to us ♥️

Ok I’m done painting this truck with my Eagles colors. After I drew and painted the details I remembered I had stickers for the game in Dec that we’re going to so I’ll put a couple on the truck somewhere.

Part of the special paint job is making it Philadelphia Eagles themed. Sorry I’m better at drawing than painting. It’s easier for me to steady my hand while I draw vs when I paint. But this isn’t bad I think.

I’m gonna start this truck model and I’m planning a special paint job combo. I hope it works out.

I finished this the other day but forgot to post. It lights up & is a marble run. It works but the London Eye gets a little stuck so not sure what I need to adjust. The London Eye is usually white but they light it up purple for Mental Health Awareness Day so I painted it purple in honor of my OCD.

Menu was fruit/greens salad. Grape/cheese skewer, tuna | cucumber kimchi | chicken katsu | B.A.L.T w/garlic truffle aioli | sandwiches. Biscuits w/clotted cream & blackberry or raspberries jam. Strawberry cream cheese pie w/graham cracker crust & lemon cake w/lemon curd & cream cheese frosting.

Hosted tea. Wanted it to be pretty but was rushing so this was how it went. Didn’t take pics of the full set table. I made kimchi aioli, Icelandic tuna, katsu aioli, ckn katsu, black truffle garlic aioli, biscuits, balsamic vinaigrette, cream cheese frosting, lemon curd, crm cheese pie, graham crust

Eagles won. My fever is gone (but still sick 🤧), and I’m gonna start this mini London model that I’m very excited to start.

Got this nice reclaimed wood frame for my Dateline Live poster. Can’t believe it’s almost been a month! @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social

@joshmankiewicz.bsky.social my mom is watching Naked and Afraid. I looked up and the contestant from Hawaii (Maui I think), Sara (left pic) looks so much like Sandra Galas (right pic) from Kauai whose murder was covered by Keith on Dateline.

The lights turn on and the cuckoo chime works. I chose to turn off the hourly cuckoo chimes so that my dog won’t bark in the middle of the night when it turns on.

I painted the cuckoo clock like zebra wood & green wood with light green grains. I painted my bird like this exotic pigeon I found online.

I started the wooden cuckoo clock last week and forgot to post. I also got a wood stand that I added wheels to so that I could hold my paint pens. I used to have to make (4) trips to the craft room in the back of the house to bring these pens out.

Alright Kevin Patullo needs a different job. Even if the Eagles win the game. I can’t live like this every week this season. Not with the players we have.

Updated Ancestry results just dropped.

Omg this is so sad. I love listening to him. What a voice!!! I hate cancer. Especially pancreatic.

I finally made this art piece for my living room. I love maps of the Hawaiian islands. From top left to bottom right: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, Hawaii (Big Island).

Some of the art at our Honolulu airport.

My mom kept telling me to paint it blue for the ocean. So I did that today.

My uncle Nathaniel gave me this vase so I bought a wooden flower model to put together but I wanted the colors to match the vase better. So I painted the flowers before assembling them. I like how it turned out. I’m including a picture of what it would’ve looked like without the new paint.

I made these books to give to each of the Dateline journalists. Altogether it was 21,498 marks/cuts and folding. See comments for more details. @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social

We meet again @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social

The calls during this #Eagles game is making me hot 🥵 lol. On Thursday at the oncologist my temp was 96.9 because my temp usually runs low. So 99.4 is high for me. #flyeaglesfly

NEVERMIND THEY STILL HAD IT IN MEN’S IN MY SIZE!!! Ordered it. Let’s see if I get the dreaded cancellation email that they really don’t have it in my size. Keep hope alive!!!

Had an alert for the Nike Love Hurts sweatshirt drop and it DIDN’T ALERT ME. AND NOW ITS SOLD OUT!!!!! OMG 😭 I’M NEVER GONNA GET ONE!!! 😢

My mom and our good girl Sheba.

New color on my kitchen cabinets. I was going for a loft feel with my Victorian colors. I decided to make the top cabinets match the door. Also zoom in on Isaac’s grilling apron (mitt matches). #gobirds

My new shirt.

We’ve owned this house for almost two years and I still say “oh yeah I gotta pay the rent.” I wonder how long it will take to break out of that.

Today’s the day! GO BIRDS!!!!!

Just finished painting my back door. Finally! Funny thing is that the company building this house was supposed to use a solid door for the back door. Instead this is the same door as our front door.

I made this faux art piece accent wall in our bedroom. One is with the curtains open to show in the bright light. I’m still painting the room & the hard to reach edges etc. I brought out the leaf stencils again and used trim to create a frame. I’m really happy with it.

Went to afternoon tea with some of my besties. We had a great time.

Worked hard for this customized result of a well preserved shipwreck. I love it.
