Okla-Home-A
The first week of November we drove to Oklahoma to visit our families. It’s two LOOOOONG days of driving but worth it to spend a couple of weeks with all of our people. I probably could have …

For some reason it feels scary to say I'm gonna do a new daily photo challenge even though I have done a bunch of them!
A 365 Photo Project for 2026
In early September I was looking back on all of the 365 photo projects I have done, there are a lot of them, and I found myself yearning for a new challenge. This isn’t even all of them! I ha…

Sometimes I get Choreography from White Christmas in my head but I replace the word "Choreography" with anxiety. "Chicks who did kicks
Aren't kicking anymore
They're doing anxiety"
Aren't kicking anymore
They're doing anxiety"

Got the tree up and started watching my Christmas romances!
Christmastime is here (in my house)
On November 2, Shaun helped me move furniture around and bring the giant tree upstairs, and then on the 3rd I carefully packed up all of the Halloween decor, which is to say, it looks pretty spooky…

My election day tradition (as an early mail in voter) is to ignore everything everyone is saying until it's all called and put up Christmas. This year I'm melding it with Halloween even more than usual!

My friend Summer has changed her gofundme goal, their rent got raised and they're going to try to move somewhere cheaper. Any shares or even the smallest amount of money could help so much! Thanks for looking!

Oklahoma in October 2025

In 2014 I did a photo project that I paired with quotes, I have been going through and putting all the quotes in one place as a distraction and they're so good! Words are magical.

Not an actual interaction: I was on a flight with Kirstie Alley and she had a live rabbit with her. It was like she wanted to be approached, there was a line in the gate waiting area to pet her rabbit. I didn't do it but kind of regret it because she was letting everyone pet her rabbit!

It's nice to see all the kids out playing in the neighborhood, a thing I have loved about both townhouse communities I have lived in is how we all kinda share a yard and we aren't dicks about it

Oak Tree Books and Scott Dingman were a big part of my childhood, wild to read what happened with the store and Scott after we sold our bookstore in the mid-90s and fell out of touch. I got most of my childhood Nancy Drew books here.
After a long hiatus, Oak Tree Books is back, and sorely needed.
