Tonight we played a game from Deadbolt Mystery Society & it was a very special one we were able to personalize the detective's name on, so of course we picked our sweet pug. ☺️ She has been gone for four years now, & it still hurts, but it's also nice to remember her with silly things like this!💜

The highest recommendation for Jacob's commissions! 💜🫶🏼 Here's the Lockjaw he did for me last year. I'm still deciding on a character for this year!

Today is the 4th anniversary of when we said goodbye to our 16 year old pug, Paxton Rhubarb. I still miss her every single day, but her memory brings more smiles than tears now. She was a good sport and put up with my antics (anything for a treat!)
Please hug your fur babies for me today. 💜

I try not to keep too many of the comics that come through my store (selling, not keeping them, is my livelihood after all) but this @jmdematteis.bsky.social creation is sending me. She fires razor tipped 🥕 from her 🌂!

The second half of my #SDCC wrestling themed giveaways arrived today, a selection of friendship bracelets! 💜🫶🏼 I'll have these and the badge ribbons with me at the @sdccblog.com bracelet meetups (schedules soon!) and while roaming the event.

Had some nerdy giveaways made for fellow #wrestling fans that I see at San Diego Comic-Con! 🫶🏼💜 #SDCC

Putting my Dad to his final rest and wearing the boots he got me for Christmas in 1990. I was 16 and they were a delight to him, a nuisance to my Mom and made me feel like a bad ass. He would approve, though tsk-tsk that they weren't freshly polished. 💜

My Dad's next journey started shortly after starting hospice. Hindsight tells us that he was "ready," even if we were not.
It will take us a while to learn how to navigate this world with only our memories of him; missing his jokes, his spirit, his endlessly positive attitude and his curiosity. 💜

The badges for the attendants is the same price as a regular attendee. It can be purchased on-site though, so is guaranteed, unlike regular badges.

Yesterday we started in-home hospice care for my father, who has many ailments, but primarily bladder cancer. If you have experienced something similar and have advice, I would be grateful to read it.

This Lockjaw commission is by Manix Abrera and it brings me a lot of joy. I got it last year at SDCC. Art sure is neat-o, gang.

I like to buy myself little treats and this order of stickers and a magnetic clip from @foxandcactus.bsky.social arrived today from Australia and they make me soooo happy!

What's happening with fruit these days? These berries look like they have been using performance enhancing drugs. 🍓💪🏻

I am still riding high from this moment with Kevin Owens.

Is this site a safe place for me to talk about preferring A.P. Bio to Abbot Elementary when it comes to the rewatchability factor? 😬

Here's all that happened at the #WWE Live Holiday Show at the Allstate Arena outside Chicago. It was a very fun evening, especially the Mysterio stuff and Iyo Sky. Punk vs Gunther was... Ok. Just slow. #wrestlesky 🤼‍♀️

So far at the #Wwe holiday show in Chicago ....
Seth Rollins clowned on Chad Gable.
Iyo Sky rocked Liv Morgan but Liv still won and now it's an 8 person mixed tag team match with Final Testament vs Wyatt Sicks.
