I ✨FINALLY✨ found the correct words to describe the hair cut I have been wanting for years. I couldn’t find a photo online or explain it well to a stylist (mine moved out of the state) but it’s an asymmetrical inverted bob!
Now I can find tons of photos!

WIP: holiday advent calendar project for my teenager.
25 identical wrapped boxes.
Each box has: 6-7 D&D Stickers, 4-7 random Magic the Gathering cards in holiday sleeves (foils, rares, and mythics), and 2-3 dice. A few “Special” boxes will have MtG booster packs.
I’m having way too much fun.

I wanted to surprise my partner with one of his favorite dinners so I got the crock pot going while he was at work.
Only for him to come home with a rare surprise present for me! A super soft electric blanket!
Apparently we both wanted to spoil each other today out of the blue. 💕

New nails!
I’ve successfully managed to keep up with getting my nails done/filled since early October and I FINALLY found my ideal shape and length. This is perfect.
Now I just wish my nails grew slower!

I’ll give you one guess.
What’s my favorite book?

I’ve been collecting pretty editions for about 15 years now.
Am I missing any that you know of? lol

In the past week I’ve acquired 10 new outlet store books.
That brings my count up to 18 new books for the month of November.
I’ve only read 5 books so far this month….

The holiday advent calendar project for my kid has become my newest hyper fixation.
I’m combining Dungeons & Dragons and MTG items each day and I’ve actually built an items table so I know what goes in each daily box.
Wrapping 25 little presents is gonna suck though.

Great. Now I’m planning 2 winter holiday and 1 going away party at work next month.
Being reliable and “fun” has its exhausting downsides.
I’m very excited to do two of these, i was voluntold for the third today

My teenager is rehearsing with the tenor bass Cantus Vocal Ensemble tonight and they’re SO excited. I never had the opportunity to sing with a professional choir as a teen so I super love this for them. :)
I am so excited for all the concerts in December!

I always cry reading nonfiction science book acknowledgments when the author thanks their supportive parents.
My own parents have never supported anything I’ve been passionate about. In fact, they have gone out of their way to insult, diminish, and hinder my interests.
It makes me really sad. 😞

I’m getting first aid/AED/CRP certified today but the class instructor just told us all that a hobo spider’s bite is extremely dangerous and causes necrosis…AND it’s the only Oregon spider he mentioned (sorry black widow…). 🤦🏻♀️

I was going to buy a D&D dice advent calendar for my teenager but I can’t find one online that I like. They are also into MTG right now so I’m going to make a personalized advent calendar combining two!
I’m really excited.

I remember when I first respected this man for his earth-shattering contributions to genetics. But after learning about the brilliant Rosalind Franklin, and reading about Watson’s sexist and racist ideals as he grew older, I lost all respect. It’s very sad.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I sat in the south park blocks among hundreds of bookworms, as the golden autumn leaves fell softly all around us like snow, for nearly an hour.
It was a magical in its simplicity.
Portland is FAR from a war zone.
It’s breathtaking today.
