Hell yeah, OR!! 10yo & I love her music, and she uses her platform to stand up for what’s right - fundraising for reproductive rights, Doctors Without Borders, etc.

We are Team Liv!!

Um…what? If you are unpredictable, you need to not have a license.

The others are:
Left, in yellow: NO TAILGATING!
Right, with heart: I’M FREAKING TRYING!
(And if you are just trying, you are not ready for a license)

I don’t know if this is just supposed to be cutesy or what, but NOPE.

So technically this is not an Election Day pic since I voted back on October 20, but I think it still counts. :)

(And I realized that I regularly make weird faces in selfies bc I have like T-Rex short arms and am awkwardly smiling through the pressure to make it work 😂)

This dumb frame is one of my absolute favorites, and it was prominently displayed on our hallway when I was a sophomore or junior in college. A friend had a Far Side page-a-day calendar, and this was the absolute keeper. The title was a repeated phrase throughout the rest of college. 😂

Sebastian and Simone haven’t had any treats, walks, and food in at least six full months OR SO THEY WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE. Also they are not in cahoots and have no idea why anyone would think that!!

The degree to which I dislike philosophy in general - and Kant in particular - cannot be overstated. And yet.

My stinkers coming in hot for good vibes for Mama Rue for healing and for you as you worry. 💜

Could not be any worse than this!

This is probably the least weird greyhound-lounging-on-the-couch photo I’ve ever taken!

My 10yo and I had a hard time getting moving today, after our customary “20 more minutes to chill before actually getting moving” time had a soundtrack of rain on the skylight and dog snoring, and the warmth of a king bed with blankets, a greyhound, and a beagle. May you have that same calm. 💜

In case anyone needs a solid fortune that seems to be a can’t-miss, Bazooka Joe has you covered.

I was telling 10yo about this the other night, and I remember this fortune as if I were her age again.

I get the feeling that the minute you stop, he will give you an absolutely withering glare, and if he could do it this would be him:

10yo & I travel from our home in VA to my hometown on the CT coast every summer, and we have an awesome & relaxing visit with my mom. We take the train (yay Amtrak!) & enjoy swimming in Long Island Sound - this year we went to the beach almost every day.

3 generations together 💜

Sending all the love in the world to Brother-Uncle Opus from Sebastian (and from our whole family too). 💜

please keep us all posted tomorrow as you hear the progress of your sweet boy.

Oh goodness - our beagle Simone is a little old lady staring out the window at everybody and everything, so she would like to join the gossip group 😂

In case awkwardly sleeping dogs may be helpful for sending you many thoughts of rejuvenating rest… 💜

Oh, good deal! Mine wasn’t showing that appointments were booked (so no openings) but that overall they aren’t available yet. Looks like it might be a state issue - didn’t work on CVS’ site using my VA zip code nor my sister’s in NC, but my mom’s in CT was showing appointment times.

Petition to not be allowed to send out email that says “item has shipped” but then it’s actually just “pre-shipment” because a label has been created but nothing else is happening!
(Very not important in the grand scheme of things - just a weird frustration!)

Oh YIKES!

Thank you ❤️ It was a sad & strange experience (as blood tests from the start were not encouraging) and I was so grateful that Maxie was there through it all. My husband was grieving too, so Max held us both up a lot. He was one of a kind and time with him was too short (lymphoma 😔) but wonderful.

I can’t be alone in thinking that we need a tell-all from Sandra Lee, like MY TIME IN ALBANY WITH THAT CREEP WHO -THANKFULLY - I NEVER MARRIED.

I feel like you could serve her some cocktails (especially using her recipes 😂) and hear some WILD stories.

Sebastian the greyhound would love a boop while he sleeps, and Simone the beagle-ish would love one while she settles into a pile of comforter 😂

Though my husband read a post today saying that the only celebration someone would do would be to visit his veteran father’s grave today, to which I replied that we don’t have to do that bc my veteran dad is always with us :)
