One month ago I discovered that after 40 years, I am no longer allergic to shrimp.🍤 Since then it has been a veritable neverending shrimpfest. I am basically a 🦩 now.

I bought a can of black beans at Trader Joe’s to put in the quesadillas the other night, got home, put everything away. Next day got out ingredients to cook and the beans are gone. They’re nowhere. I looked everywhere. Did I drop them on the subway? How did I lose a can of beans?
I don’t know how I had absolutely no knowledge of frame of reference for The Donnas until this week’s #ChartChat but I dig the vibe and am looking forward to next week’s installment! ‘79 babies!
Episode 448 is up! Andy talks about BTS boycotting the Grammys, a Van Halen cake, the Mountain Goats & Candlebox, Heather McMahan, & drummers recognizing their drumming. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) delivers pt 1 of her look at songs covered by the Donnas.
Still not over the end of the movie “Nuts” where Barbra Streisand’s character attends a judicial court wearing her bathrobe and hospital gown. Spoiler alert; she wins the case and is allowed to leave and walk down the busy city streets. In her bathrobe and hospital gown.
A fun evening at the Queens Night Market with Tante Joan and Etelka
When a dog puts its head on your knee. That’s it, man. That’s the greatest.
I am very behind on my podcasts for various reasons but Andy’s story about the hotel made me think of Tom Hanks in “Big” in the St James Hotel, moving his dresser in front of the door as gunshots go off outside the window. Glad you’re okay Andy! I will never use Priceline!
Episode 447 is up! Andy talks about his trip to Oakland for Mosswood Meltdown, then plays a clip of a man interviewing a widow who goes to the movies alone. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) gives her report on seeing Rush in Chicago on the Fifty Something Tour.
Chicken skewers! Baby potatoes! Air fryer Greek-style everything for dinner tonight!
My BFF sent me an assortment of deep-friend flavored peanuts that you’re supposed to eat “SHELL ‘N’ ALL”! Insane how well she knows me!
I have received a most lovely unmarked gift with no note included! Please reveal yourself to accept my gratitude!!!
Home at last after an unexpected extra dogsit day. Treated myself on the way home. Radical acts of public fatness 🍦 (Yes I am covered in dog hair)
I’ll tell you what this Streisand autobiography is doing to me: I’m watching “Nuts”. A movie I’d never heard of before I started this book.
I love my friends and their dogs but I have decided I can no longer dogsit for free, or for more than a night or two in case of dire need. It’s exhausting. It’s just a lot. It’s not about the money or anything- I do it out of love- but my bed is so good and no one else’s bed is as good.
Their flight was canceled so I’m definitely dogsitting at least another day It’s nice here and I love Pierre but I miss Neelix and my bed
It’s been 2 months and I’m only 60% through the Streisand book. It’s not because it isn’t interesting, but because it’s a million pages long and also I’m addicted to my phone.
I stuck a pen in my hair and it’s gone; I lost it.
I showed my husband “Really Rosie” today and honestly how did I go 16 years with this man without showing him a piece of art so fundamental to my personality?
Can someone please come French braid my hair, I can’t do it
I’ve only ever seen one really good version of “A Little Princess” and it’s this one
Of course I sell a dress on Poshmark when I’m away and can’t mail it until next week. Of course. I have like 4 things listed that have been there for years 🤣
I just learned that Jessie Cave makes more money on OnlyFans just brushing her hair while fully clothed than she did in her entire 18 years of acting. I feel like I have a possible fallback career I never even dreamed of
This week on #ChartChat I learned that Amy Grant is perhaps a member of my dad’s made-up secret society, “The Ancient and Honourable Order of the Drowned Rat”! www.facebook.com/groups/10278...

Ep 446 is up! Andy talks about Isaac Brock’s perfect 10 album & Iggy Pop's 1977 albums. Also, Mike Epps gives Ice-T the business. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) hosts Laura (@lasagnahog.bsky.social) to discuss Amy Grant's 1991 album Heart in Motion (Part 3).
Final chemo round today for my sister, then a couple weeks of immunotherapy drugs, and then new scans. Crossing all the fingers and toes.
My family overcelebrates birthdays It’s fine None of us are here forever Have fun while you can
