Ready to take on 2026 #lemonpig
My lemon pig. A decent sized lemon with ears cut from the rind, whole clove eyes, fancy toothpick legs, and a penny in its mouth just beneath where the stem was cut. I named her Marigold.

Losing fantasy football 6 weeks in a row is diabolical
ESPN fantasy football screenshot for week 10 results. My team “Mmm punts” lost 127.6 to 146.0 to my boyfriend’s team “MOHBBMYK”. He’s now 7-3 and I’m 3-7 with a 6-game losing streak
