I don’t post often but I’m here to say that @steveathanas.bsky.social getting a new smoker this year was 10000% worth every penny. Tonight’s dinner was smoked meatloaf (and he also smoked a pork loin to use in meals this week). I win.

Right now is #UMassLowell ‘s annual Days of Giving. As a 1st gen college grad & alum, I can speak to UML’s commitment to making education within reach for ALL students. Would you join @steveathanas.bsky.social & I in making the same possible for future students?

I just want to throw out there that good, high quality special education teachers for neurospicy kiddos have an incredibly high amount of my respect for their patience and dedication.

Guys… this pic of Weird Al with Pinkie Pie is giving me life today…

Can I get off this timeline?

I’ve said for years that I’d take a round of the whole family getting flu or Covid over just one or two of us getting norovirus. So far the last 12 hours with my 12 year old ejecting his insides have confirmed that.

At the request of my family, I spent the afternoon making homemade chicken tikka masala and homemade coconut rice. @steveathanas.bsky.social will enjoy the leftovers for lunch at work tomorrow and all his coworkers will be jealous.

Yes, people in New England. We did just have an earthquake. You’re not going crazy.

You might be from New England if iced coffee in front of a fire on a cold day is totally normal.

New blog post: Some thoughts I have on purging out our things, the impact they have on us, and what it all means.

I'm sitting here listening to Jimmy Fallon's Christmas album while I work on the clues for our annual Gingerbread Man Scavenger Hunt and all I can think while I'm listening to most of this is... why...

Really all we need is an SNL Christmas Album featuring "D*** in a Box" as the first track.

This. Also, what my kids read isn't your business. And what your kids read isn't my business.

See how minding our own business works?

If you’re wondering what teamwork looks like, my husband just called me from the grocery store asking for directions to frozen pumpkin pies & canned apple pie filling & kept me on the phone like a tactical GPS. Phone call started with “I’m in the 💩 & need directions”.

That’s teamwork in action.
