I have the cutest handbag to go out to lunch with my kiddos today. I generally stick to browns, earth tones, black and navy but I have started to embrace colors.

These two are the sweetest friends I could ask for. They are taking good care of me as I take care of my sweetie. I am hopeful for a better week. 🫶🏻

It’s difficult to articulate how bizzare these people are. Cosplay grief?

My health insurance premiums went up $288 every two weeks so that is $576 x 12=$6,912.00
Nice! I called my rep Michelle Fischbach but LOL I got some cranky old man who said he had work to do when I called to complain. See they are busy protecting the pedophile in the white house and not MN07!

The ICU in St.Cloud had a sculpture that was made by Jane Seymour -- I love hospital art. It's a more pleasant way to pass time.

After a week in the ICU in multiple hospitals I'm thrilled to announce that my sweet hubby is home. 🫶🏻
I'm going to celebrate by having this delicious breakfast. Poached eggs, whole grain bread and Canadian bacon.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The wind has been terrible over night. It makes our labradude very uneasy. Poor guy shivers when the wind howls. Our super senior shih poo can’t hear squat, and Archie could care less — so that helps. We had a long night comforting the world best big dog.

My dear friend Vickie passed away peacefully this morning — I’d have rather she lived to be an old broad but that wasn’t in the cards. Vickie taught me it’s good to have friends from different groups. This is how she had learned about the joys of gangster rap! Listen to something filthy today peeps!

It’s been a week since I got the text from HS bestie 1 that HS bestie 2 was in hospice. A lot of ground traveled in the past days in both miles and words. While it’s been hard AF, it’s been loving AF cubed.

I am going to the Mayo with my high school bestie to visit our third amigo who entered hospice last night. Talk about needing to put your big girl panties on and digging deep for the “right stuff” in this moment. I am thankful for the flexibility in my work career to be able to leave and do

I am sad to see that Robert Redford died. I loved his work. Ordinary People was such a meaningful film in my classic films class. It reminded me of the family breaks I’d seen from a distance in my own life. My mom called to tell me this news and it sounded serious… but he was her hall pass. HA!

I am looking to get my boss a special holiday gift. “Uffda” swag. I work remotely from the bold north. Many of my colleagues are in “paradise” Tampa, Miami, etc. Terms like “Uffda”. I am thinking stickers, a water/coffee cup — Anyone have any ideas?

Um here I thought I saw the funniest CK quote today for the Grim Reaper — but nope. For the record I have empathy — IDK if he held these beliefs at his core or just did it for money. I don’t want this happening to anyone — he on the other hand felt this shit was AOK. WTF don’t be like him

“Stupid deaths, stupid deaths … they are funny cause they are true!” Charlie is explaining to the grim reaper right now his greatest quotes. I want to reduce the number of gun deaths a year — I still don’t agree with Kirk but you’d be nuts to think WE DIDN’T NOTICE!

The boys and I were just out enjoying some outside time with my boys. The orange throwing thing is Ollie’s favorite toy in the lake. Ryan has been fighting exhaustion so I took the challenge to wear out my big boy! It was a job well done. Mission accomplished! #dogs #yorkie #doodle

I had a wonderful sit by my fire pit last night. It was the perfect weather for a lakeside fire and a glass or two of pino. I was hit with such immense gratitude for the people in my life and how peaceful life out at the lake is.

Who uses a purse organizer or insert? Do you have a favorite brand? Who would have thought of such an invention!? I wish I would have known of them years ago. Right now I’m looking at Zoomoni that will fit in my speedy. But I am curious what others use.
