I bake things and I make things. Love living in the most diverse city in the country. Love food and drink and art in all its forms. Live with my nerdy chef husband and the best of dogs. Resist.
Best part of my first day of school ‘fit, curtesy of @peculiarityshop.bsky.social and @beckymew.bsky.social. Entering my brooch era.
Came across this photo that I don’t remember being taken while looking for a different one. But, yup, that’s accurate.
The way I have like $500 of @peculiarityshop.bsky.social pretties in my cart, sitting here hoping other people will buy them and keep me from having to make my own decisions 🤪
Me: I think my lemongrass is dying. M: you can’t kill lemongrass. Me: …have you seen my mint?
I bought a @beckymew.bsky.social brooch about my feelings today.
Me, to a coworker, after scolding her for not getting enough sleep and sending emails at 4:30am (via email, at 4:32am): Hey. I might be a hypocrite, but I’m not wrong 😜
My lovely coworkers arranged for someone to come clean my house today, as they know I’ve been struggling this year and are caring, thoughtful people. So, I’m sitting downstairs reading while she’s upstairs cleaning, feeling like the most awkward person ever and reminding myself I can’t go help.
It’s “bake for the new teachers” day! First up, guava and apricot rugelach with jam I made earlier this summer.
The whole pack got baths today. Now they’re napping in their bathrobes.
My @romancingthevote.com auction wins are showing up in this lovely, scattered series of gifts I forgot I bought for myself, and it’s the most fun.
Ooooof. Traveling has been brutal for me this week. Today’s adventure involved my flight from Houston delayed an hour and an ill-advised run from gate C14 to D2 in ~10 min to BARELY make my connecting flight. I might have died a little, but I’m at the beach with my family, not still at DFW, so, win?
Ok, deep breathing is not helping the intense anger caused by insurance continuing to deny the chemo drugs prescribed to my favorite person by his VERY GOOD neuro-oncologist. I hate the “healthcare” system in this broken country. I’m going to go scream into a pillow about it.
Me, looking at a lovely piece at Boston MFA: “these are so awesome, why don’t we wear these anymore?” Hillary: “….I just ordered some.”
The Peculiarity Shop@peculiarityshop.bsky.social · last mo.I have some beautiful signed Navajo hand flowers coming. 🥰🥰🥰 (Hand flowers are the cuffs that attach to a ring.)
I have realized that I’m going to be getting random @romancingthevote.com boxes for A WHILE, and this makes me happy. I love, LOVE, this mug from @perfectmugpottery.bsky.social, and appreciate the sweet note, recipe, and tea that snuck in there with it.
I got some good mail while I was in Boston. First up, this perfect pin from @canopyrobin.com for my good friend/boss, who defends her dissertation this month.
My flight home is now delayed by almost 4 1/2 hours, and I’ve been at the Boston airport for over 5 hours (because I had to check out of my hotel). I’ve been so homesick the last couple of days and now this.
Whenever possible, live your life in such a way that you get to randomly hang out with lovely, weird, amazing people as often as you can. Friends are fun.
Conference badge made more “mine” with a @beckymew.bsky.social treasure from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social.
Successfully in Boston! Think I’m going to nap, head down to check into for the conference, then see if I can wander my way into some decent seafood.
First arrival of @romancingthevote.com goodies is my box of BINs mailed from the mothership! Everything is awesome! Seriously, though, the 3D printed mystery box? EPIC.
Dearest @peculiarityshop.bsky.social, thanks for always making my life sparklier. P.S. It is PERFECT. P.P.S. ….yes, I clearly meant the Becky sticker.
