Listening to Nick Offerman read “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” while painting the dining room and never cease to be amazed by Mark Twain’s ability to have me laughing and crying in the span of a few minutes as he tackles heavy topics in a ridiculous setting.
Where am I on the holiday exhaustion spectrum? I’m at “order Taco Bell to be delivered.”
I’ve spent the whole day wondering why the trash truck hasn’t come by.
Only realized an hour ago that it’s because today is not, in fact, Wednesday.
All hail the king
What’s the feeling called when you’re thrilled to complete your final for a class and also a little disappointed that the class is over? It’s an entirely new feeling for me.

One of the saddest things about adulthood is knowing, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Jude Law and Cameron Diaz will absolutely breakup at some point (soon) after the end of The Holiday.
Are you even a parent if your preferred method of eating mac and cheese isn’t straight from the pot while standing in front of the stove?
Rarely have I felt so seen by a shirt.
Oh, that Home Alone house on the bottom right was 100% an anniversary gift to each other for our 10 year.

Just baked my second batch of miso walnut double-thick chocolate-chip cookies from Nicola Lamb’s wonderful cookbook, Sift, and no cookie has any business being so delicious.
We have a ton (lots of hand me downs from my brother), and so far the favorites have been knights with dragon/castle, barn and all sorts of farming sets, and he’s getting a pirate ship and some fun little additions for Christmas. I rotate the themed sets every month or so and keep the rest hidden.

I tried one this summer because my husband was curious about my disdain for them.

We decided to switch from turkey to prime rib a few years ago, still with all the sides we love, and have never looked back.
While I’m not always into villain origin stories, I’d love to know the backstory and eventual fate of Sid from Toy Story after the events of the first movie.
That’s going to change a person.
Sometimes it seems too on the nose that I’m taking a class entitled The Ancient Roman World this semester when all of *this* is happening around us.
Happy anniversary! Every time I see you post about him on IG I smile. So much love there.
Delighted to see that Aesop products aren’t on sale or discounted, but experience a “rare price reduction.”
