There was one Christmas where my parents gave me a VHS copy of The Little Mermaid and I watched it relentlessly for the entirety of winter break while eating giant bag of peanut M&Ms and it still lives on in my memory as the best Christmas ever. John is recreating that memory for me this morning. 😭
I had a dream last night that I was out with a bunch of friends. It was nearing 11:30 and they all wanted to go to a second venue. I got so mad and kept saying it was late and I needed to be in bed, so I made a complete scene about it and got an uber home. Look forward to your 40s, kids.

I cannot believe Christmas is this week. What the hell happened to December.
Starting off my last week before vacation with a 9:00 dental cleaning this morning followed by: 🎵 3 days of travel 🚘 2 production rollouts 💻 1 company dinner 🍽️ and enough stress to give me a coronary 🫀 🎵 Send help.
My dad used to keep a collection of fun pencils in his filing cabinet for whenever we’d need pencils for our homework. It was always special to get one of the filing cabinet pencils. After he died, I went through his filing cabinet and found one of the special pencils, still intact and unused.

I grew up with Ray Conniff Christmas albums playing on the living room stereo from Thanksgiving to New Years. It was a magical time in my childhood that no other season or holiday could top. I still listen to Ray every December. Share a favorite Christmas album/song with me. I need some joy today.
I’m just a girl, being irrationally angry about how life is constantly changing when I didn’t ask it to.
I don't think anyone's ever asked me this question! In terms of nostalgia, my favorite set was the Victory Lap set (1988). I spent a lot of time playing with this set as a kid. But within the last 10 years, the crown for my favorite set has to go to the Titanic. 👑 Runner up: the Home Alone house.
What was your favorite Lego set of all time? @kimfaul.bsky.social

Lego really testing my patience with these GWPs. I love everything about them. My wallet does not. 💸

My mom just said to me "I wish there was a box I could go into...and when I come out of the box, I feel 5 years younger..." And all I could think of was this:

I’m not good at drawing or anything remotely artistic, but I love drawing stupid things on pictures that I take. (It’s a Peanut Gallery.)
Over on Letterboxd, I’ve been slowly curating a list over the years of movies I’ve seen that have cats or cat-themed things in them. (They have to be things I’ve actually spotted myself or they don’t count!) If you’re into that sort of thing, be my friend: boxd.it/ez7l
Back in summer '23 I started having really bad ankle pain and had to stop running...an activity I simultaneously loathed and loved. I went to a foot doctor and got orthotics, but it took FOREVER for the pain to reduce even slightly. I thought I would never be able to run again. But today, I ran!
A lot of people have been asking me if I'll bring the Twitter account HORROR CALENDAR over to Bluesky. Let's do that: @horrorcalendar.bsky.social
