I know! I’m still completely floored by it.

Yeah, it was pretty good! Pet Sematary is still my favorite King so far, but I’ve been wanting to at least read a good chunk of his classics.

Aw, happy birthday to you, too!

Thank you! He is quite a looker, which I suspect he knows.

I hope you can! That sounds like a good potential opportunity to just be good to yourself and chill/recharge a bit.

I’m glad you know what I mean! It is freeing. It was nice to just realize that I was fine with it, and remain chill about everything, then move on. I have gotten so much better over the past few years re: dwelling/obsessing over things, and that’s done wonders for my anxiety.

A pretty chill start to year so far, for me! Which is certainly good, and an improvement on last year, which didn’t have the best emotional place for me to start from. (Granted, in hindsight, that was the beginning of ending some things that needed to be, resetting my boundaries and expectations in certain areas,…

“When words and actions don’t match, believe the actions.”

This will probably sound odd, but I failed to get a few things done that I had hoped to during the first week of the year, and... I didn’t berate the hell out of myself for it! (That has often been, in the past, my go-to reaction to anything like that, being a super-harsh self critic, and an anxious person by nature,…

Aww, poor Blanchie! What a sweet looking bb.

That movie is so perfect.

Hoping it all goes well!

No one wants to believe it is as bad as it all too often is.

Nor should you! She is doing multiple awesome things basically all the time, and always appears to have a good sense of humor while simultaneously remaining politically aware/engaged and managing a hell of a brand. I love that both her lingerie and makeup lines are so bomb, pretty much right out of the gate. (Also,…

Haha, why thank you! I promise you, I basically never feel that I do, or at least feel that way very rarely, so that’s flattering to hear!

So, mom made it up for Christmas after all! And we got to have a lovely holiday together. Cooked a delicious dinner together, exchanged some lovely presents (my mom is a master of combining the thoughtful with the practical, since neither of us ever has much money -- an annual favorite that friends of mine actively…

You are so welcome! I am what feels like the resident Peter Gabriel nerd basically wherever I go (including the book/record shop where I work), but this is one of those I enjoy spreading to anyone. It’s just so comforting!

I adore Peter Gabriel and I love that you posted this. (Also, hey you!)

Truth. (Also, you have a most excellent handle.)

Rihanna definitely brought a lot of (admittedly indulgent, but IDGAF!!) joy into my life this year, and for this, I thank and stan her.
