I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

Options for the evening: 1. Study 2. Clean 3. Drive to the middle of the salt flats and scream at the moon on account of the horrors. 4. Go to bed early.

I have received a good grade in dentist appointment, which is both normal to want and possible to achieve. Obviously. Because I did.

Can I afford fantasy ball tickets? Nope. Do I have the time to sew a gown? Nope. Do I have any sense of fashion whatsoever? Never. Friends to go with? Nah. Am I planning what I would wear to a ball anyway? You betcha.

My favorite thing in the world right now is that Turning Point and toilet paper have the same abbreviation. Saw a truck with the plate TPUSA, and the amusement has sustained me for days.

It is unusually hot in the Costco today, which is really making me question my "stores could stand to run the AC less" stance.

Mostly white cat fave resting on the bed of a sewing machine, near the needle. White fabric is piled in front. A line of 4 hand worked buttonholes on white fabric.

Targeted ads are ridiculous. I put the work into finding a service I needed. Now that I've already booked and paid through a company, I'm getting constant ads for that company. Not even related services, the exact one. Would have been useful three weeks ago, now it's a waste of advertising dollars.

This coat. No wonder my wrist hurts. The main seams were done on the machine, but padstitching and finishing were all by hand. Still have to do about a thousand buttonholes. #sewing #handsewing

All it took to get "Best in Show" was some printed backdrops and a fake ski lift. That's pathetic. www.deseret.com/utah/2026/07...

Dilute calico cat with blue eyes, laying on navy blue linen with a few pins. She is looking at the camera, and not eating pins (yet).

Now there is a reasonably reasonable buttonhole. Next, figuring out what size I actually need for my project, which first requires making the buttons. #sewing #handsewing

My first four hand worked buttonholes, from top down. Why did I attempt my very first one in matching silk thread? Hubris, probably. None of them are at all usable. On every single one, I caught the stitches on the first side while stitching the second side. #sewing #handsewing

A curse of ADHD is to get six or eight words of a song stuck in you head on repeat, so I was singing to myself in the kitchen. "Pretty little baby, I'm so in love with you" 11yo goes, "What, mom ? Hang on, I'm coming." Because why else would I be singing love songs than to get his attention?

crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect
