Wow, didn’t know I paid $10,000 for my $350 dress :-)

Shelter Cat Update!

Re: your last paragraph, SAAAAAAME. We’re starting to open back up too (restaurants and bars are still limited to takeout only for the next two weeks at least, tho) and CROWDS and also “half these people are stone-ass morons, I am Concerned.”

I’ve had a crabby couple days during this. Yesterday a woman down the street from me decided to call the cops of on me while I was walking my dog because I “shouldn’t be there” and was “in the wrong place”. I just walked away and walked home, because I don’t deal with crazy when I’m not being paid for it, and a cop…

I made another roasted chicken, another 3 or 4 quarts of stock. And a yellow cake with chocolate and coffee frosting.

Whay have you been cooking? We celebrated our tenth anniversary yesterday the best we could with everything shut down, I made arancini, and tried to make them look “fancy” since we normally would have gone somewhere nice for a big occasion.

I watched the video, and was not expecting that. In a good way. She’s actually self-deprecating and admits her goof-ups instead of editing them out. And she’s not afraid to look silly. Damn, now I have to follow her, right?

Hi kids, hope everyone is doing ok.

I’ve been working from home (immunocompromised) and I’ve been worried that I’ll get an email any day now saying “Turns out we don’t miss you, don’t come back!” This is not based on anything credible, I love my job and I’m not terrible at it, but I’ve felt really cut off and that’s…

I’m American and I’m fucking elated. Way to go, Canada.

Now you know why I hate open concept houses!!!!

What was that Downton Abbey quote?

We both still like Singapore Mei Fun, though.

I’ve managed movie theaters. I’ve fired employees because I caught them rinsing and reselling cups.

Oh my god it killed my soul a little every time they’d shove a wood veneer faux rustic imaginary French country farm house ceiling beam in a midcentury split level house that was screaming for clean lines. Or every time they hacked through perfectly lovely and well made built-ins that could have been given a total…

Exactly. I loathed Chip and Joanna’s show because they were shoe horning a trend into existing architectural design, and when they did extensive remodeling the structural work always seemed... wrong somehow. 

As a former refugee of the South may I say that I would beat a nun for a giant bowl of both my Granny’s Southern Grits and her spicy Collard Greens.

She looks so cute and she has lovely hair! That feeling of unleashing your hair from a pony or bun (ugh, ballet!!!) is so satisfying. 

Revelation 8:1-6 “YEAH”
¹ And when she had removed the seventh bow, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
² And I saw the seven bows which stood before God; and to them were given seven rainbows.
³ And another unicorn came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given…

Aww, JoJo Siwa looks adorable. The feeling of relief emanating from her scalp is palpable!
