Repurposed a compost pot as a poop bag receptacle. Anoles moved into the lid, and now I can't touch it for fear of disturbing them. She had a nice little family. My poop bags pile up nearby.

Watching West Wing for the first time. Husband can't remember the name and calls it "Pumpkin Spice" because it seems like it is always winter/holidays. 😂

The ocean sloshing sounds meant to relax me in the mammogram ultrasound room are nice and all unless you happened to have just had 2 cups of coffee waiting to get in here. Less relaxing.

The Whisper Man on Netflix is like someone pulled classic thriller scenes from a bag. I got “Clarice confronts Jaime Gumb at house." You? ‘Kid talks to ghosts!’ Cool! Add ‘broken family moves to unnecessarily large creepy old house” & screw subtle foreshadowing; let’s SCREAM what’s going to happen…

Like people used "Karen" for entitled little people, we should use "Dolly" for exceedingly kind, empathetic people. "She's such a Dolly!" would be the ultimate compliment. I hope everyone is inspired to be the best Dolly Parton they can be. You can't do much better.

I wear makeup so infrequently that I just spent three minutes trying to remember what you call the stuff for hiding dark circles under your eyes. I couldn't stop thinking it's called "liquid skin." That can't be right, Clarice. Finally remembered "concealer" 😂 #AmWriting #WritersLife

My kid works at a library and found this note sticking out of a book. Dear Scarlett's parents, good job raising a rockstar. 😁
A small paper note with child's writing in pencil. It reads 'Hello. My name is Scarlett. If you come across this note know I will haunt you forever.'

Watched 48 Hours, where a woman asked a friend to babysit. Friend agreed but couldn’t reach her on babysitting day. Finally, she shows up with kid at 10pm, comes back at 1 a.m. Killed her husband in the meantime. I know murder is bad, but I can NOT get over how rude it was to show up at 10pm.

Shifting my Spanish learning to reading/listening. Loved this Chicken Little, where he's tricked and eaten because he believed what the FOX posted on the INTERNET. Too funny. Start early, share with your kids (or parents/grandparents...) now! #Spanish www.thefablecottage.com/fables/polli...

This is Chootie. He looks like a dog, but from one of those 15th century paintings done by someone who had only ever heard about dogs. 12/10 (IG: chootieboy)
a very fluffy white creature with light brown markings on its back and ears is resting flat on some concrete tiles with a body like a slightly inflated bearskin rug. his legs and tail are merely puffy nubs, but his front paws are completely shaved for hygiene purposes, giving him the grabby-hands look of a feral raccoon. his face is an exuberant expression, with all his features slightly too close together, including his mismatched and somewhat human brown and blue eyes. he is simultaneously ridiculous and delightful.
