My parents have one and I love cooking at their house for gatherings cos my mixer is fine but not awesome (it’s a Sunbeam stand mixer so just not as much oomph).

I debated using mine for a Switch, but then I got fucked by taxes so mine (plus some) went back to the government. To make myself feel better, I splurged on a KitchenAid stand mixer (big sale) cos I figure that will be MUCH more long-term useful than a Switch. Le sigh. (I’m super lucky to have the small leeway to get…

In order to stop the anxiety from following me into dreamland, I’ve been trying to tell myself stories when I fall asleep or remember good dreams I’ve had. My fave to remember is when I was in my parents’ driveway sitting in a circle with my family, eating pretzels and watching a bunch of yetis frolicking in the yard.…

I used to listen to WNYC on my commutes but since I’m not commuting anymore, I’ve stuck with WFUV for music all day rather than the morning news. I’m already having anxiety attacks with the limited news I do get that I’m trying to mitigate what gets through to me. Like you, I assume anything massive will be pushed to…

I reread that line about 4 times looking for the actor in it.

During my last trip to the grocery there was a couple who had masks under their chins and they were nonstop talking and wandering the aisles and not distancing from other people and it was driving me crazy.  There’s a sign on the door of the store that asks people to only send one person in for shopping to help and…

I wake up 15 minutes after work, turn my computer on, THEN feed the cat, brush my teeth and start the tea water. Lunch is a nap on my couch with a heating pad cos my home chair is not conducive to ergonomics and I shower at some point in the afternoon.

I could look at Matt Boner’s face all day. White Collar was such a fun show and he was the perfect lead.

I like to think that he’s in a Lucifer (Tom Ellis) hell cos that one was pretty well thought up. If he believes in it, he’s gotta be there!

They don’t have minds to boggle, so they’ll never see it.

If given the choice, I always choose Qdoba over Chipotle, mostly for the nacho cheese. Sometimes I just want a shitty bean bowl and nacho cheese and Qdoba is my option for that, partially cos I feel like it’s half the price of Chipotle.

I know pretty much nothing about Megan Thee Stallion but that interview with Fallon (the TikTok link) was good. She seems like good people and also her dog is adorable. The fact that she wants to work in/support eldercare is awesome.

I’m so/so on sci fi shows, but you better believe I got sucked into Fringe. It was smart and well done with an amazing cast (hello, John Noble), but also I got to stare at Jackson for the duration (and added in Seth Gabel in the last few seasons—I forget when Lincoln started).

I keep seeing stuff on my FB timeline from the couple conspiracy theorists that I keep around for info that this is orchestrated by Gates in order to mandate vaccines across the board for all Americans.

I saw this on the Bravo app this week and debated watching. Now I’m def going to have to watch and when I find out who these people are, remember these tidbits. (Though it’s sad that one of them is homeless.)

Oh I’d love to do a wine-specific visit! I’ve been going since 2004 when my friend and I just picked a random place for a vacation and ended up in Lisbon. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found I really love Porto and exploring (Lisbon vacays were basically drinking and wandering the city snacking and buying bras).

Question though, are those new teeth? I like Beyonce enough but don’t usually watch her perform. They look like Hilary Duff’s veneers. (Or it could just be the filter she has running.)

My friend told me to follow Martha about a year ago and I’m glad I have. She’s TOTALLY the drunk grandma posting. Not everything is polished so when she does do a Magazine-style post I’m not as annoyed as the “lifestyle brand” IG posts. 

I have to hunt for my ‘Geezer wines and it’s a drag. Last time I was in Porto, my friend and I spent every night of the week at an amazing little wine bar (Wine Quay Bar) and I got hooked on a grape, Zambujeira, which I cannot find in the US for the life of me. I also got hooked on Arinto when I was in the Azores last…

I love his comics! And the face mask one today made me lol.
