Go see #CoyotevsAcme. It's fun, it's sweet, and it's a good way to spend a 100 minutes.

I made an insane beef bolognese this week and of course, I paired it with papardelle. It's been giving me a good thing to look forward to. This is an outlier because heavy pasta is my late fall/winter food. I realized that life is lifing and my emotions were craving comfort pasta.

Nordstrom is having it's semi-annual sale right now and to see pink and black satin bonnets on sale for $70 (down from close to $100) broke me in an unimaginable way. I still don't know if I can articulate the incandescent rage that made me feel.

When people look at me this week, they must be seeing me in an imaginary one of these:

It's not clear to me who was supposed to do the grocery shopping after I cleaned out the refrigerator and made it empty. I apparently thought I was going to come home to a full refrigerator and not have to eat out tonight. Definitely need to remind the housekeeper that her job here is tenuous...

Someone really should have sent a camera crew with him. This is a missed opportunity. I would have watched this show and I don't watch reality TV. Coulda called it “Solomon and the City". 😂

I am having a ton of anxiety directly related to Artemis. I won't be okay until they are safely home. This sounds like a wild parasocial type of thing but I promise it isn't.

Was looking for a retirement card for a dear family friend and said to myself, "Surely the retirement cards should be right before the sympathy cards" when I couldn't find them. There are a lot of reasons my brain acts this way, but my gosh, it's a weird Daria/Wednesday Adams vibe up there.

Update: the American Girl dolls books for this doll were, in truth, about the grim history of the 1980s. I have now read aloud a book about 3rd graders witnessing the Challenger explosion and a second book about them dealing with community bigotry against a classmate with HIV

I remember watching Surya in absolute awe and never understanding why she didn't medal. She landed on one foot for Pete's sake. That backflip should be named after her.

I told work I was coming in late tomorrow morning. There are multiple reasons I'm going in late and none are related to the football game I forgot was coming on tonight.

Finished #Severance. Based on the ending, are we sure we're getting a third season? Re-watching the new ep of #Shrinking and then starting #Pluribus.

I've eaten all my meat-based leftovers, so the only things left in my fridge are some oranges, lettuce, & assorted milks for coffee. Fortunately, it's restaurant week here & past me rallied (bullied) my friends into Thursday *and* Saturday dinners out. Socializing & supporting the local economy!

This is my reminder that my mother told me that the Emperor (Palpatine) looked that way because he never put Vaseline on. She told me this as a child and I fully believed her. I thought that his face was what you looked like if you didn't moisturize.

I decided to take these few days off to de-clutter and to organize the junk drawers. I finished the kitchen, living room, my office, and am now working on the bathroom. Tomorrow I'm trying on clothes and deciding what to toss and what to keep. 😳

A young woman at my job has decided to leave to further her education. She wants to study economics (!!!) & is starting school in January. I suggested two things: @marketplaceapm and @itsafronomics.bsky.social's book (on my tbr for next yr). Today was her last day & she's already started both!

Just finished "Back After This" by @lindaholmes.bsky.social and I really liked it! I'm dying to know if this part was true:
Linda Holmes is the author of Back After This. The hardcover book has a blue background and the title/author and a cartoon of a lady with an oversized purse chasing an oversized dog.

My accomplishment this year is convincing a colleague that "circle back season" is a real thing that should be utilized. She's been using it all December and I couldn't be more proud. My circle back season starts the Monday after Thanksgiving, middle of December be damned.

A friend asked about a restaurant I went to over a decade ago, so I went to FB to find the details. I figured out the restaurant but I also saw that a family friend is leaving her husband because of his alcoholism. This is why I go to FB on a quarterly basis...

On a meeting today, one of my colleagues started a discussion about Christmas cookies. This turned into a discussion of holiday traditions and foods. I learned about what lefse and lutefisk are. I don't think I'll ever know all there is to know about my adopted state.

I just finished season 1 of #Severance and watched the first episode of season 2. How were people okay with 3 years between seasons? I'm kind of hesitant to continue if it's going to be that long for season 3.

I ordered bagels, turkey, and Swiss from Katz's and it made a delicious sandwich. I also ordered cream cheese, gravy, and brisket because I wanted comfort food.

I am really grateful for the friends I've made here. Our super crafty friend had us over to make porch pots today. Is this a Midwest thing? I'd never seen a porch pot before I moved here.
A gray pot with evergreens, sticks, painted pinecones, dried hydrangea and glittering artificial leaves. Behold my porch pot.

There are two end of year parties that are happening tonight. Since they keep getting scheduled on the same night, the polite thing for me to do is decline both invitations. That means extra bonnet time in bed while watching movies.

I picked up a novel and a romance novel at the library this week. I'm so excited to read good fluff. I've tried to make sure I'm reading things that are important and help me learn about things I don't know. I feel like I have SO MANY blindspots, but my brain needs a break. HEAs for the win!

Really liked #WakeUpDeadMan. Now to hope this and Glass Onion eventually get physical releases. It's surprising, especially since Rian is a fan of physical media.

I just finished Bad Company by Megan Greenwell and now I'm in need of a blood pressure pill. Private equity ruins everything.

I was thinking about doing takeout for turkey but I think I decided to make baked ziti instead. I'm slightly nervous as I live in a land that has seemingly no Italians, which means no salumerias nearby. We'll see how this goes.

I was using my work phone today and was sending a message to my team that I was "getting coffee then omw". Very glad I looked before hitting send as the message said "getting off then omw". I would have been sent straight to HR.

I had an absolutely fantastic girls weekend with my college friends and we started this. I'm not usually one for true crime but this has been really good. J. Smith Cameron was in the premiere!
