She is finished! My crochet Birkin is ready now that summer is over. I put a little basket in it to keep it from stretching and if I make another one, I think I will line it but, for carrying stuff to the neighborhood pool, it’s just perfect. #crochet

Finally finished this Abraham Lincoln that I meant to have completed by 4th of July. I also fell out of love with the design as I was doing it, so left off some of the elements. Maybe after washing, ironing and framing it I’ll feel better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Freshly finished cross-stitched Abraham Lincoln portrait, still wrinkly and unwashed. His top hat bears the legend “Oh, honestly Abe.”

A pillow made from the Abraham Lincoln cross-stitch pattern I just finished. The pillow includes the elements I left off “1863” along the sides and “Freedom” across the bottom.

So I drove all the way over to the County Clerk’s office (10 miles!) and was unable to get a permanent license plate for my new car. The sheriff told me I hadta remove all the tinting on my windows before I could register.

In which my child discovers he was conceived and raised by nerds. Last month, they asked for, and I sent, my copy of Bill Bryson’s book A Short History of Nearly Everything. Which, based on the tickets they found in the book, I was apparently reading when my mother-in-law passed away in 2004.

A text exchange between a kid and their mom

Text 1: A picture of green flight tickets showing a flight from Dallas to West Palm Beach.

Text 2: The kid asks “What?”

Text 3: Mom replies Wow. That must have been the time we went to visit Dad’s dad.

Text 4: Upon inspection, mom realizes “Actually, that’s from when John’s mom died and I would have been 5-6 months pregnant.

Text 5: Mom quips: So you’ve read this book before.

Text continues

Text 6: Kid responds “Ohhhhhh”

Text 7: Kid absorbs information: “OK”

Text 8: Kid reflects “That’s really cool.”

Mom responds with further birth trivia:

Text 9: Cover of Richard Dawkins 2004 book “The Ancestor’s Tale.” Mom says: “This is the book I was reading when you were born.”

Text 10: Kid responds “Oooh so that’s why I’m a nerd.

Text 11: Mom quips: Have you met your parents?

Me, wondering why I have a massive headache and on my day off, too! <ponders> Me: Right. Haven’t had any caffeine. <ponders more> Me: How much caffeine have I missed? I usually just have a Diet Dr Pepper dirty soda with 30 mLs of concentrated espresso added in. <ponders again> Me: Oh.

This is what I call the “puddle of glum.” It forms outside the upstairs bathroom whenever I start getting ready to leave the house. I usually spreads out more but I think it is self-conscious about being photographed.

Went downstairs w/o my phone onto the back porch w/Wally. Can’t express the utter terror felt when a voice that sounded like it was behind me said iPhone 128 lost. Sharing to ask: Is this a product review for my new earbuds? So comfortable you forget they’re in ‘til they scare the shit out of you?

The dogs after I explained it was hot, I have a new audiobook, and a purse to make, therefore I was not going anywhere or doing anything. Wally accepted the news and fell over before I finished my sentence. Maeve is simply regrouping before coming at me again.

Because I certainly don’t want to give up my copies, I got my kiddo used copies of two classic American novels that everyone should read.

I snapped up this $10 pattern for a crochet Hermès Birkin 35 cm as soon as I saw it! I figured I better hurry because Hermès will soon send the designer, Emmanuel Ndukwe, (ThatCrochetGuy.com) a cease and desist letter that will singe his eyebrows off. I’m thinking a nice lime green for summer.

When we went to vote today, the poll worker saw which street we lived on and exclaimed “Another <Our Street>! You guys do so well! Almost every house on <Our Street> votes!” And we both beamed with pride. #Vote (My BFF from 1st grade told us to choose this neighborhood and she was so very right!)

I opened one wallpaper ad and now 1) all my ads are wallpaper ads and 2) I am obsessed with wallpaper.

Fever dream wallpaper featuring floating pigs, a naked woman, a man in a red-striped suit and a conical hat, an air balloon, and other random clip art on a blue background.

Cologuard had someone call to tell me to use the kit I got & I don’t care how much your job sucks, it doesn’t suck as for this poor kid who has to call Boomers and GenXers to cajole them into doing something they don’t really want to do. Do you think you can do it by next Friday? Sure thing, kid.

I don’t have a Prime subscription because Amazon are evil. There’s loads of ways to pirate their content for free if you really want to see it. I feel ZERO guilt about stealing stuff from these pricks. Spend your money on something more worthwhile.
