That is adorable. It must now take you hours to get to the park because whenever you stop dogs nuts like me must rush over with questions and general chit chat.

Yay, notebooks! I just got my first-ever Leuchtturn 1917 from Amazon, and it is AMAZING. I’ve been working on my journal all day.

Thank you! My grandmother made it for me when I went to college. :)

I jogged on the treadmill for 20 minutes, four seconds today! Non-stop! That is four seconds over my personal record! Haha. It’s a very mild achievement, but I was happy. Especially for getting up on a Saturday morning to do it. :)

Any jezebel motorcyclists out there tonight? I bought myself a yamaha xt225 for christmas last year & have been learning how to ride on both pavement & dirt (& gravel!) This season. It’s been a blast but also slow going because I have a much greater fear of death/pain/dismemberment than I did 10 or 15 years ago. I’m…

The first show I’m professionally costume designing has finally been cast so I can begin working on costumes. Other big news is that it is getting toured around the city next spring and the company that I’m working for is in talks with Philly to get it toured there too. So I’m super happy about this opportunity and…

I am sitting on my brand new patio on my brand new wicker chair, enjoying the breeze and the light and the outsideness of it all!

Just remember, the nuclear family is a recent invention. For millennia, women seldom raised their own children. Women worked, while those unable to work took care of the children. Or they were rich and hired people to do it.

I got promoted and will get to hire an underling to mold!!!

I didn’t lose control of my car when my tire (the sidewall) exploded when I was driving at a high speed on a crowded highway! I’m piloted that Outback to the shoulder like a mother-effing boss!

I bought myself sunflowers this week, but I also like to treat myself to something to read and a nice coffee in a shop with a window seat.

Buying flowers and eating ice cream. Butter pecan is my go-to flavor.

still not smoking even though i had some serious cravings this week. i’m proud of that. but dammit i do want one. haven’t smoked since may 10.

I self-medicate with I indulge in chocolate when I’ve had too much stress; I treated myself to a slice of chocolate layer cake this week. I also bought a new lip color today (I can never find a shade I’m happy with...)

Facials and hot baths. My new apartment has a big bathtub, and I am SO EXCITED to be able to spoil myself.

I built a mini-theremin kit I had sitting around for years. This included having to replace the speaker when I accidentally crumpled the mylar cone trying to get it into place (so I needed desoldering, soldering, AND rotary tool skills). Now I just have to tune the little bugger and see if I can play it...

The reason…

Mine is kind of weird. I got fired this week- which isn’t something to brag about- but I didn’t cry about it!

I brought my son to college on Sunday. He is lucky in that many of his friends from high school also are attending the same university. The roommate hadn’t left the dorm in three days. The roommate grew up in a very small town and was so out of his element, shy and scared. My son organized a “game night” last night…
