In honor of #toebeantuesday, and also because I desperately need a palate cleanser today and feel like you might, too, I present Kevin Bacon and her many toes. #polydactyl #footloose #catsky

It’s a great name! Kevin was “Footsie” at the humane society, but it didn’t suit her. She’s polydactyl - footloose! Kevin Bacon. 😂❤️

My 50th birthday trip is an 8-day stay at the Polynesian scheduled for January. I LOVE Disney. It is my happy place. And you’d better believe we will cancel if this nonsense stands. This is a message my husband sent to our 20-yo daughter, who is supposed to join us. Feel free to pass this along.

I grew up in Chicago and have a few acquaintances who are of course suddenly Very Concerned about Chicago the Urban Hellscape.

For a community that was in the news for a group of high school boys Sieg Heiling through their group prom photo on the courthouse steps, I’m not sure I would have leaned so heavily into the Old German font for this poster.

The black cat is Sheela. She was very lonely and spent hours wandering the house crying. So, logically, we had to get her a kitten.

I decorated my powder room in a similar style, except I was aiming for “kitschy” and was most certainly NOT going for “classy.” 😂
