Went downstairs w/o my phone onto the back porch w/Wally. Can’t express the utter terror felt when a voice that sounded like it was behind me said iPhone 128 lost. Sharing to ask: Is this a product review for my new earbuds? So comfortable you forget they’re in ‘til they scare the shit out of you?

My new shirt from The Kentucky Shop arrived today so John and I went on up to Mitch’s condo in Louisville for a photo shoot!

Love when it’s cool enough to sit on the porch and work on our hobbies. (I am cross-stitching, not gnawing a bone.)

New Herrschners catalog arrived today and they just want you to know that if you haven’t even started your pumpkins and spiders and bats IT’S TOO LATE! IT’S ALREADY CHRISTMAS, LOSERS! Also, is that Santa actually Matt Damon?

Sometimes, if you are very, very lucky, you get to read a book on a hot summer evening with a snoring dog all up in your business.

Saw a cool thing on the walk.

I usually only wear my skeleton skirt during spooky season, but I was feeling feisty today and we need that third skeleton in DC. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Here’s hoping! 🖤🖤🖤

Oh no. Probably one of my earliest TV crushes. Memory eternal, Randolph Mantooth. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Wally doin’ a heckin’ inspeck at the vet. Getting a tune-up.

I liked #Supergirl. A little too violent, but overall not bad. And, at an hour and 48 minutes, almost exactly the right length.

The dogs after I explained it was hot, I have a new audiobook, and a purse to make, therefore I was not going anywhere or doing anything. Wally accepted the news and fell over before I finished my sentence. Maeve is simply regrouping before coming at me again.

Because I certainly don’t want to give up my copies, I got my kiddo used copies of two classic American novels that everyone should read.

I’m working again and it’s just delightful, honestly! And, I got a new pin to wear on my white coat!

I snapped up this $10 pattern for a crochet Hermès Birkin 35 cm as soon as I saw it! I figured I better hurry because Hermès will soon send the designer, Emmanuel Ndukwe, (ThatCrochetGuy.com) a cease and desist letter that will singe his eyebrows off. I’m thinking a nice lime green for summer.

Sad dog watching the rainy day go by. She has never seen the outside. Never had a walk. She is a hostage. #dogs

She got the post-poop zoomies.

It’s ironic that this carpeting looks like a petri dish considering that it’s in a hospital and is probably a petri dish. (No worries. It’s Boobfest 2026.)

When we went to vote today, the poll worker saw which street we lived on and exclaimed “Another <Our Street>! You guys do so well! Almost every house on <Our Street> votes!” And we both beamed with pride. #Vote (My BFF from 1st grade told us to choose this neighborhood and she was so very right!)

Married 25 years today.

Almost finished with a little blankie. Two sidelong rows and needs blocking. #crochet

I opened one wallpaper ad and now 1) all my ads are wallpaper ads and 2) I am obsessed with wallpaper.

Me: Wally, please don’t loll on my blanket. It’s not even finished. Wally: don’t make soft pretty things if you don’t want me lolling on them.

Me: Maeve, could you not? Maeve: Ma’am, you’re talking in my sleep. #dogs #crochet

My husband of nearly 25 years just admitted he has never seen Brian’s Song and now I feel like I don’t even know this random-ass dude. #GenX

The Italian national anthem is a right banger. (Kimi Antonelli won the Miami GP.)

It’s a little chilly here tonight so the dogs have crawled halfway up my ass.

Why don’t they make cars like this anymore? Vintage Mazda “Carol” with right-hand steering wheel espied on Bardstown Road. It still had its temp tags on and I am SO JEALOUS!

OMG, I loved this album.

Cologuard had someone call to tell me to use the kit I got & I don’t care how much your job sucks, it doesn’t suck as for this poor kid who has to call Boomers and GenXers to cajole them into doing something they don’t really want to do. Do you think you can do it by next Friday? Sure thing, kid.
