The weather was gorgeous today but I was too busy to take a walk until 4:30 pm, so I strapped on some lights and hit the trail at sunset.
A gravel trail surrounded by leafless trees at dusk. Above the sky is blue with pink near the horizon. A wide gravel trail through a wooded area. Above the sky is cloudy and blue with pink near the horizon.

Walked farther than usual today on the trail and was rewarded with my closest deer sighting yet. This guy just stood there while I took this picture from about 10 feet away.
A young whitetail deer standing on the edge of a wooded area. It is about 10 feet away from the camera.

Feeling grumpy today so it’s time to bust out the sparkly caftan and put a silly clip in my hair. Today’s hair accessory is one of my favorites by Jenny Lemons.
A hair clip in my hair that looks like a bear-shaped squeeze bottle of honey.

I wasn't gonna share my latch hook kit this week because I didn't make a ton of progress on it. It wasn't a great week at work. But I did complete the eyes and they look cool so here is my week three progress.
A colorful latch hook kit of a pillowcase featuring a colorful striped cat. The colors are pinks, blues, green, purple, and black and white. It is about 2/3 completed.

Had to get myself one of the new Sexy Motherfucker library cards.
A library card with a picture of Prince on it. He is standing holding a guitar. Text on the card says "PHOTO BY NANCY BUNDT, 1985" and "Hennepin County Library."

This Halloween season, I bought several giant bags of Airheads candy and every freakin' time, the bag was like 60% cherry, 5% blue raspberry, and 35% the rest of the flavors. Cherry is my least favorite and blue raspberry is my most favorite and it made me sad. My husb just came in with this for me.
A large box of nothing but blue raspberry flavored Airheads. They're the full size ones and there's at least 30 of them. In the background on my desk is a pile of fun size cherry Airheads.

Not in a great mood today but I put a pickle in my hair and now I feel a little better.
A hair clip in my hair that is a green translucent plastic pickle.

Caught "Back to the Future" tonight with a good friend that I hadn't seen in years. He hadn't been to a movie since 2020 and was a little shocked that a gin fizz and a Jack & Coke added up to $38 at the movie theater bar. I didn't have the heart to tell him that our tickets were that much too.
A selfie of me and my friend at the MacGuffin's at an AMC movie theater. He has a scruffy beard and is wearing a black hat and hoodie. I am wearing a blue sweatshirt with a puffy red vest in an homage to Marty McFly. A movie poster for "Back to the Future" lit up in a lightbox. Above it is the AMC logo.

Had a great night of laughs with the world’s most renowned pervert, John Waters.
A movie marquee on the front of a building that reads: "JOHN WATERS JAKE RUDH 11.1 7PM." A selfie of me at the front of a stage with John Waters standing above and behind me giving his trademark smirk. I am grinning like a fool.

Week two progress on my latch hook project. It was a slow week at work and I am just a smidge over halfway done.
A half-finished latch hook project. The top half of the pillow case has been filled in with yarn and the bottom half is a colored mesh grid. The image is of a colorful striped cat in pinks, blues, green, and yellow with blue eyes. The project is finished from the cat's ears down to midway through its eyes.

There it is, KISS in full facepaint gathered around the piano singing "Beth."
A murky screenshot of the band KISS gathered around a piano in a gothic scene. The piano has a bust on it with a large blonde wig on it. There are bookshelves and candelabras in the background.

HOLY FREAKIN' GUACAMOLE, COULD THIS JACKET BE ANY GAYER (complimentary)????
Paul Lynde speaking into his CB radio. You can see him in profile and the sleeve of his jacket has the symbol for "male" on it, that circle with the arrow thing, and it is so gay and awesome that I am freaking out.

Holy shit, the back of the jacket:
Paul turns to climb into the truck cab and the back of his jacket is revealed. Spelled out in rhinestones is the name "Big Red" surrounded by lines. There is also a big star made of rhinestones. It's magnificient.

Took two edibles and queued up the Paul Lynde Halloween Special because it seemed like the right thing to do. 15 minutes in and Paul is a...rhinestone trucker??? And singing about it??? I'm just here to watch KISS sing "Beth," man.
Paul Lynde in a white jacket bedazzled with silver rhinestones. He has matching pants and a bedazzled captain's hat. He is hanging off the side of a red-white-and-blue semi truck cab. It is a screenshot from his Halloween special, I shit you not.

The earnest face of someone who thinks she should get a half can instead of a quarter can of food at a time.
A closeup of a tortoiseshell cat staring straight into the camera with big green eyes. She is sitting on a desk in front of a computer monitor.

Happy National Cat Day to Olive, who claims everything for herself but I love her anyway.
A tortoiseshell cat sitting on a bed. She is sitting leaned up on a blue tote bag like she is claiming it as her own.

I Wasn't Gonna Take a Walk and Then I Did and It Was Nice: The Amanjo Story.
A gravel trail surrounded by trees, many of which have lost their leaves. The trees with leaves left are yellow and light green. The sky is blue with a few white fluffy clouds.

Today’s hair clip: hot dog hair, don’t care.
My hair pulled back into a plastic claw clip that looks like a hot dog with mustard.
