He is very serious. He's also very mad about the level of brightness in this hotel room, down to the lights on the microwave display. Something tells me a bright-as-day night parking lot by the hotel's busy social patio wouldn't be very comfortable for our young schemer.

I hear this. 🫶🏻❤️‍🩹 Body image issues from our moms are so deeply ingrained.

10yo is currently trying to convince me to let him sleep in the car (we are at a hotel together this weekend). "Mom. I PROMISE I wouldn't try to drive it. I'd just want the dashboard on so I could listen to peaceful music."

Well now I want to know how tall you are, and also - I've never commented that (or thought that??) toward another woman. Or man for that matter. It seems nice to be tall, and sometimes I feel absurdly short, but I'm actually pretty average. 5'3".

What's really hard for me is the knowledge of the trauma she endured from the time she was a toddler. It doesn't excuse what she did, but it does contextualize how someone could do something so heinous. She wasn't well. This is more harm, and none of it brings justice to her victim's family.

Aaron's DWTS take: "In fairness, Taylor Hanson would have done very well tonight if Mariah Carey had a song called 'Get Away From Me, I'm Married'." 😤

A concept from the recent Jon Stewart interview with Jacob Coxon (whistleblower, former Anthropic employee) that will stick with me is the description of AI's purpose as "strip-mining humanity". I'd say "we can't let this happen" but it is already underway. 🙁

This morning I am thankful to be back in therapy, and thankful to have a dog who crept up to my side halfway through the remote session this morning. Sometimes I think we rescued a dog with as much anxiety and sadness - but also joy, exuberance, zest for life, and capacity for love - as me.

Anyway court has been a nightmare & the ruling on custody after the loss of the home hasn't made sense with precedent, facts, etc. Yes I'm in therapy. And yes I am so glad to be Aaron's wife. ❤️‍🩹

Oh woof. Ours is a story with some twists and turns. Aaron and I are in the same city, but my babies are not. Ex forced the sale of the house so his name could be removed from the mortgage, even though his girlfriend had put him on the deed to a $$$ house she bought for them. Sketch timeline, etc.

LISTEN. 😤 The Internet knows I was at a cat cafe today & that I was specifically there to see a cat named Batman, and he liked booty scritches but it almost came out catastrophically worded.

Toddler & I went to the cat cafe today, and I'm already eager to go back. I didn't take any photos once we were in the cat half, and while I wish I could re-live the moment when toddler first walked in and started petting cats, or the way Batman came out of his shell, it was nice to have open hands.

I mean Aaron has to be on board, but if he is... I feel like Yeah probably! I'm usually one to give a pet a new name, but I've also ever adopted/rescued babies. I had 2 black female cats that I adored... still miss to this day. I'd love another, and I actually called my Luna "Fat Batman" a lot. 🤭

Want to feel loved? Raid the $1 clearance corner at Home Goods on November 1 and then forget about your findings for a year. You'll open that box of Halloween decorations and gasp about 5 times as you pull out "new" things.
