Oh it’s so terrible and wonderful. I watch it every year… Wait until you get to the end… The drugs were good in the 70s….

I’m having a goblin Christmas. I will go nowhere and see no one and eat all the snacks… I can’t wait!

Oh they know. They just think you will forgive them cause “family” or that you won’t call them out and air the dirty laundry. Mine know better than to try cause I will- and dealing with narcissists means they cannot stand it if their appearance is tarnished

Ooh… looks yummy… what are they?

Not just a bowl… that is art!

I’ve developed a lot of strategies to avoid the aren’t you excited to see your family at the holidays… I’m very excited to not see my family thank you very much. But yes… kindness always

I gave my folks their gifts at our office lunch last Friday

I usually discover when it stops when I’m in the middle of brushing my teeth…

I need this!

You can have salad for lunch… balance!

I do not tolerate the hallmark hate. And I am generally a sarcastic, cynical person… These are my little refuge…

Seeing Barbie with a group of friends was an amazing experience… Also Taylor Swift the Eras tour concert movie was another great group bonding experience. Everyone in the theater was having fun… Little girls were having a dance party at the foot of the screen.

I’m a huge Tolkien fan… But the fellowship of the rings was almost a spiritual experience… Peter Jackson brought that world to life… and the way I screamed no at the end of that first movie even though I knew it was a trilogy…

A non-sci-fi option… Prince of Tides… that movie is just pretty on the screen… But also the guy behind it shouting out he’s gonna win an Oscar for this at one of the most emotional points of the movie. You don’t get that watching at home.

Other notable experiences… Serenity… being with a huge group of people who got the jokes, laughed and gasped at the same time was so much fun

I hate lawyer shows but it’s so good!

tell you that I bought the really expensive Mac advent calendar and it has been totally worth it! Full-size products that I actually use & love on a regular basis… I don’t think I could ever go back to the cheap ones… I may buy 1 more as there is a chocolate one I have my eye on… and it’s on sale

I usually save them… They have really long expirations… But opening each day is a delight

One of my faves! Lots of fun unusual spreads this year
