My fingers do this when I'm trying to hold a spatula or hand sew, and it hurts. 😭
View of a cook top with a pot of browning ground beef on it. A hand holds a spatula in the pan, and the index finger on top of the spatula handle is bent several different ways due to hypermobile joints.

Is it a bit like this?

Hi, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I just saw this T-shirt design at Five Below. Is this not riffing on the Marlboro brand? The peak in pink instead of red? The same font? Riding a horse?
Black and white drawing of the cartoon character Betty Boop riding a horse. Behind her is a pink abstract design evoking a mountain range. "Betty Boop" is printed below the drawing.

Look at this little asshole.

(I won't let her in the basement.)

Ok, this made me laugh.

At least I had some good news today. I found these at my Wegmans in NC.
Two bags of Lay's brand "All Dressed" flavor potato chips. This flavor was previously exclusive to Canada.

Today I learned: the first verse of the REM song Swan Swan H(ummingbird) comes from a needlework sampler completed by Elizabeth Jane Hawkes in Salem, NC in 1865.
A square needlework sampler done in multi-colored threads on off-white linen. There is a verse of a hymn "Only waiting till the angels open wide the mystic gate/ at whose feet I long have lingered weary poor and desolate/ even now I hear their footsteps and their voices far away/If they call me I am waiting only waiting to obey" The relevant words are labels for many of the mirrored figures embroidered around the verse. "Swan" and "Hummingbird" with corresponding birds, "Hurrah We are all free now" under the image of a dancing man with dark skin. "What noisy cats are we" over the image of standing men. "He bore his cross" over images of the same men, but larger, "Girl and dog" under an image of a girl and a dog. The last line of the song's first verse, "A long low time ago people talk to me," then must be a reference to the historical artifacts that Stipe took these words from speaking to him in the present.

I spy with my little eye, something that starts with a B.

And then I get home and I'm shopping IKEA's winter decorations, and I come across this: a seven-pointed snowflake lamp. Yes, it's modeled off of their star lamps, and they are all seven-pointed, but they call it a snowflake in the product description. 😖
An image from the IKEA website of a white, seven-pointed paper lampshade, illuminated from within, hanging in a stark white window.

Lauren Conrad, I don't know who you are, but you get an A+ for your snowflake jewelry.
A card of Lauren Conrad-brand jewelry in silver tones of various winter icons. One of them is a pair of six-sided snowflakes.

A FIVE-POINTED SNOWFLAKE? That's a new one. Maybe it's supposed to be a star, since there's a star in the center? No, those are classic snowflake arms. Five. Points. What.
Another Napier-brand brooch in silver tones with crystals. This one features a five-pointed star in the middle with FIVE large snowflake arms and FIVE small snowflake arms radiating from the center. What.

Snowflake fails: Kohl's jewelry department edition.

8-sided snowflakes are about as ubiquitous as the SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE 6-pointed variety. But then I saw an especially egregious violation of physics.
Photo of a Napier brand brooch in silver tones with clear crystal adornment. It is in the shape of an 8-pointed snowflake. Grrr.

That's not even the pattern I bought it for. Spouse is getting this for Christmas.
Finished cross-stitch of Garfield in front of a computer terminal. He looks frazzled.

I paid $18 to get this vintage Garfield cross-stitch pattern book off eBay. Look at this. Worth every penny.
Front cover of book entitled "Garfield... On The Job! With photo of cross -stitched Garfield in a suit, carrying a briefcase. Finished product depicted on back cover of Garfield in suit, carrying a briefcase, standing in front of a graph labeled "stocks." The line on the graph has an upward trajectory.

A choice was made. Seen today at my local Wegmans.
In an empty spot next to a shelf full of chocolate-stuffed Oreos sits a lone bag of beef jerky sticks. The bag proclaims they are "sugar free."

Dungeons and Dragons monster, the drick. It's got a snake-like body, and at its head, a beak surrounded by four besuckered tentacles.
