That’s probably it. Guess I just haven’t been hanging out on the balcony too much lately!

That was my first thought but then it’s still so light out.

Okay, Alexandria. What am I hearing outside right now?

To YOU! Not so much for Catmom over here!

In Alexandria, we vote early and often!

18 out of 24. More than my husband for the first time in 20 years!

I just survived a brief trip to Maryland with a dead phone. Not all heroes wear capes.

My cat stole my favorite eraser. 😭

Saturday plans…

Its “Does the Dog Die” page was compelling enough for me!

Me: Is bowling a sport?
Eric: Anything is a sport if you can hurt yourself doing it.
Me: I can hurt myself getting out of bed.
