This is how Cirrus greeted our friend who was taking care of the kitties while we were out of town. Look at those eyes! A mix between terrified and crazy!! 😂😭 He truly is our wild child!

Scranton, I am IN YOU! (Still have never seen The Office, btw). This area is my hometown, not just a TV show town 😌 (I’m actually from Wilkes-Barre)

What is your horror movie roll?

They really nailed mine! 😂 Just kidding.. I would have done it for realz, but I kept getting the one about having big titties 🤷‍♂️

Tornado, and my left hand, say hello! Such a cute, good boy enjoying his windowsill 🥰🥹

Just moved an old piece of furniture at a friend’s house, and saw a daddy long legs, and a large circle of baby spiders all around it. I didn’t get to take a picture, as they were moving pretty quickly, but it looked something like this. How’s your Monday going? 😜🕷️

Let me spread this cream cheese icing all over you and then lick it all off! 😜 Wait, did I say that out loud? 🫠

*Candle and hot wax not included. Unless… 👀😂

Ragweed is the absolute worst! 🤧 We get this Giant Texas ragweed that grows behind the house (it’s a utility easement with power lines), and they only clear it out when they do work (once every several years). It grows as high as the tops of the houses 😵‍💫 We try to cut it down before late September 😭

And here’s a better shot of the after-birthday double rainbow over my house!! 🥳😍

Another view of the amazing mammatus clouds! 🤩

And then Mother Nature decided to give me a belated birthday treat.. Look at this rainbow and mammatus clouds combination right over my freaking house!!!!! 🤩😍🥰 You’re alright, Mother Nature, you’re alright! 🥳❤️ #houwx #txwx #Houston #clouds #rainbow #weather

When it’s your birthday (yesterday), you can make yourself 2 carrot cakes if you want, and nobody can tell you how much icing is too much (there is no such thing)! Wishing some of y’all were here to celebrate and share cake with! 🥳🎂❤️

Thinking about the number 45, on this 22nd day of the 9th month. Happy Fall, Happy Autumn Equinox, Happy Hobbit Day, Happy National Ice Cream Cone Day, Happy 45th Birthday to Me, Happy National Brown Butter Day, and so on, and so forth… Celebrate as you see fit! 🥳👀😁

Don’t worry, New, I’ll take all your bagels and likely do something like this with them… 🤤 My dinner for the night 🥳

What a spectacular sunrise this morning! Taken from my backyard in SW Houston. It didn’t last long, but those pink and purple colors were so vivid. 😍🤩 #houwx #txwx #sunrise

Since this was such a huge hit on my close-friends Instagram list (might have garnered a dozen or so likes - I’m a star!), I figured I’d share here as well.

Caesar salad (homemade dressing), me, and who? 👀🥺 It was honestly such a ridiculously large salad haha. But it was soooo good! 🤤

This morning’s sunrise was gorgeous!! 😍🤩 Taken from my backyard, in SW Houston. Please don’t mind all the annoying power lines 😭 #houwx #txwx
September 6, 2025 at 1:23 PM
And you are in mine as well 😉
September 1, 2025 at 7:38 PM
Actually, not that it’s worth much, but you are in mine! So you do have 1 ❤️🥳

Don’t be messaging me saying you wanna smoke trees, unless your tree looks like this:

(Totally joking by the way, but I saw this tree and couldn’t resist the joke) 🥳😜

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

Did I just make myself a sandwich with creamy honey roasted peanut butter, Nutella, with marshmallows stuffed in between (I didn’t have any fluff), on a big fluffy Pan Francés, with a tall glass of chocolate milk to wash it down? 👀 You betcha! Even cheffy people like to make ridiculous snacks! 😜🤤🥳

Mother Nature and I have been playing hide and seek this week with regards to rain. Well, today she found me! Caught out while grocery shopping on the SW side of Houston, in between stores (got very wet). This storm hasn’t moved much, and has basically grown over the last hour! #houwx #txwx ⛈️
