To be fair, we do love chickpeas in our house so this is really a compliment? I think? 😂

With apologies to both said lady Patti and troubadour Yusuf/Cat, 10yo heard this and thought it sounded like LADY GARBANZO, and so it shall be.

3. THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST
4. LADY D'ARBANVILLE
5. WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY?

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent… “We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”

Lehigh County exec says he’s evicting ICE agents from Allentown office, citing 3 years of unpaid rent
Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel’s announcement to evict the ICE agents came shortly after the county’s financial watchdog revealed the agency owes more than $115,000 in rent.

We love Mad Libs! 10yo has a sleepover we picked up before her party this summer, and I gave her the Olivia Rodrigo version for Christmas. Super fun and silly, and a nice escape. :)

Prior authorization is such a damn racket, I swear. I figure that if my healthcare provider - WHO KNOWS ME AND KNOWS MY MEDICAL HISTORY AND NEEDS - decides that I need something, that’s where it should stop, in terms of insurance companies being nosy weirdos who are totally uninformed.

I wonder if it’s bc you know it’s SFX makeup, etc. My husband, 10yo, and I like to watch Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and Secret Service, but we can’t watch those when eating bc that’s actual, real horrific kitchen conditions. 🤢

You have not, and your posts keep a lot of us (myself included for sure!) going and focusing on the things we can control and things we can make better - spreading love and kindness and supporting our communities. 💜

Thank you for sharing this bit of calm, and I think this is a time when having an #UglyDogs compound somewhere would be perfect. Scritches, coffee, and kindness aplenty, and I think that’s what we all need right now. 💜

And you just know she’s like, I’m Queen Pepé, so obviously I can do things others can’t, but we all work as a team and everyone trusts me to lead the way! 👑 Q, I have no doubt that no matter her age, no two- nor four-legged subjects of the Queen can keep up w/ her, but no one really minds! 💜

So, we weren’t going to have a calendar this year. But I got to thinking about Pepé and I was like “How can I honor TWELVE YEARS of this majestic dog???” and then I decided she deserves HER VERY OWN 12 month calendar. I hope it’s not too late. #uglydogs www.createphotocalendars.com/Store/A+Doze...

Ah, so THAT is why I feel extra fancy when I wear my otter-in-harness racerback - I am wearing Flame-approved fashion!! (Also? I took the tag off of the tank bc it was itchy or something but I regret that decision all the time bc that tank is THE BEST.)

OMG - that is SO COOL!! Those old organs are so rad, and I think your playing sounds great. It also seems like something you’ve been wanting to do for *you*, and that is cool as hell. And the tree on the left side of the console is gloriously vintage and matches the vibe perfectly.

I love this idea so much. I’m not celebrating (and will probably 💤 early bc I have a cough that will not quit) and I am not strictly sober, but I am a one-and-done if I drink at all. Not great with one of my meds, and my late dad was an alcoholic (saying it aloud is freeing somehow) so I’m careful.

When you get the four wheeler stuck, but at least the lights are out
A snowy night in the woods is light brightly by the moon. In the the foreground sits a dejected four wheeler. In the sky, a ball of green lights rise behind the trees like a sunriseGreen ribbons of Aurora tinged with pink dance above snowy trees on a moonlight winter night Green Aurora twists around the moon; the tops of two snowy spruce trees peek into the frame Green Aurora and a bright moon shine over a wintery, boreal snowscape. A four wheeler, sunk a bit into the snow, lights the snow behind it bright red with its brake lights
