Well a lot has happened in the world in the last 3 weeks… but enjoy this pic of two buttheads at a beach instead of worrying about the world being on fire… or beyond frozen if you’re literal..

I really don’t make it over here often. Hope you all had a great holiday season and Happy New Year! Here are some recent snaps of me and the beach…. Why does my car have superior lighting for photos?

Had the best day ever hanging out with my kids. Many thrift shops, conveyor belt sushi, and overall good times. 💜

I'm the cool chick at my house. Ask my dog, after I give him treats.

Ash! I’ve missed you! How are you and the pupper?

Popping in with a 17 year old pic of me and my youngest. Spooky season is still our fave! 💀 👻 🧙

It really is! I contacted an espresso repair person who said it’s fully worth fixing though instead of replacing so maybe she will be back!

Tragedy has fallen upon my house today…

My beloved 20 year old espresso machine passed away in her sleep. She wouldn’t turn on this morning. She was still humming yesterday so she must have decided it was her time.

Remembering this glorious #glutenfree breakfast pizza someone special made me for Mother’s Day Brunch yesterday! Yummy!

Sunset on the Bay Ridge Trail…

Got to enjoy some beach time before work today and nothing sets you up better for a chill day than some time by the water…

Veggies done, heading out to family dinner soon…

Me: walks in the door at 8:30am

Kid, 20: mother! Do you know what time it is? You were out way past your curfew! You said you’d be out “very late,” it’s the next day!

Me: umm sorry mom, traffic was bad…. 😬

Unfortunately, some rescues are just non profit pet hoarders. I’m sorry you had that experience, but in my years of fostering, I’ve come across it.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

It’s official! I signed the papers and Walter is now a permanent member of my family!

Today I experienced a traffic jam while going from my office to get a cup of coffee.

He was just parked for no reason. Blocking the thoroughfare.

Today’s work view….

I’m trying to remember to come over here more! It’s def more positive than the bad place!

People saying you don’t look your age is such a weird, fake compliment… I look my age because I *am* my age.

And believe me, many days I feel my age! I’ve earned every line, wrinkle, stretch mark, scar, and the lumps and bumps too!

I’m 46, and definitely look my age!

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

Going to buy myself a present because I deserve one.

You don't owe anyone an apology for struggling w/ dissociation. Dissociation is a symptom, & we do not "choose" symptoms.

We meet our symptoms w/ compassion & patience as we work our recovery & reduce or vulnerability to them-- baby step by baby step.

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has initiated legal action against Elon Musk for buying votes which violates Wisconsin’s election laws.

Great view from my women in Tech event today…
