My 4 year old niece had to queue up a Facebook reel on my mom's iPad to entertain her while she opened an envelope which was already a little too much for my brain to handle

I kicked my own ass at pilates today and I'm not gonna be able to get off the couch or onto the toilet tomorrow but I did walk away from it feeling EXTREMELY good so now maybe I'm starting to understand why gym people are always so chipper???

Went to Rhode Island to see family

Pro: managed to hide my tattoos from my 94-year old grandmother despite it being very hot and humid

Con: she thinks I'm in early menopause because I was so hot and sweaty the whole time I was there. Girl, it's 85 degrees and 85% humidity and I'm in long sleeves!

Just want to commemorate that my niece, age 4, has chosen a "mermaid name" for herself for when she's playing mermaids.

That name is:

Moonstone Hairstyle.

A couple of nights ago, I went to a bar where they were playing Parks and Rec, Bake Off, and the Joy of Painting (at the same time!) on the TVs, and had the Mountain Goats' "All Hail West Texas" playing on the speakers.

Like it was made for me.

every night, she runs into the bed frame and bangs her shins.

every morning, she wakes, confused about the bruises on her legs.

Taking a big swing by having my husband watch "Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story" before he's seen "Walk the Line".

When my husband and I first met, he would say that he could tell what the cat wanted by the sound of his meow and, while I believed him, I also thought "well that's just two dudes who are totally dialed into one another" but nah. 11 years in, I know exactly what the fuzzy bastard wants.

Moved into this house nearly 4 years ago.

Took until last week to finally do something about the wisteria in the front yard (commission a trellis).

Took until today to put the trash pickup schedule in my Google calendar so I don't have to go to the website every time.

My 8 year old niece is currently obsessed with the Tears for Fears song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and I wanna know what weird adult at her school is indoctrinating the youths with 80s bops????

My dog, just a few weeks from her third birthday, just figured out what the word "treat" means and I think it's VERY cute

A wonderful bartender just made me the coldest, most carbonated, most delicious grapefruit water. I can't imagine anything more refreshing or delicious or perfect for my dehydrated ass than that beautiful offering and it was entirely unsolicited. A good bartender is one who just KNOWS

Just got in the car after dinner and a woman pulled up next to me playing this deep cut that I love that I've NEVER heard ANYONE talk about and I am STILL wondering why I didn't jump in the passenger seat and demand we become friends. I guess I was too stunned.

Dog and cat are being nice to each other day

Got this result on Google trying to find a specific dog breed. I, thinking I'm funny, said "well you didn't have to call her cheap!"

Nick said "she just rolls over, spread beagle for anyone"

And I'm reminded he's much funnier than I am

SPREAD BEAGLE?? come on

I'm watching this SNL50 docu and I can't say enough about how delighted I am to see Cheri Oteri. She is so fucking good and I have missed her!!!

The DOING... IS the art?????

The DOING *IS* the music-making????
These people are your enemies

"Velvet Underground sounds like if Bob Dylan sang for the Rolling Stones" and other pieces of wisdom from my husband

Nick is pouring mimosas in the other room and I just heard him mumble "fuck it, we ball" so I'm looking forward to seeing the size of the drink he's poured me.

Maybe it's the weather or something like that, but mama, you been on my mind.

I always say "ok THIS TIME I'll write a real pop song. A hooky thing with a proper chorus" and then I write the wordiest, most linear, specific shit yet.

Why is this???

The bonne maman Advent calendar really is everything a girl could have hoped for. Two dozen jams AND THEN just two dozen tiny jars to keep even though you have no use for them??? Perfect.

If there is one thing that is true about this bitch right here, it's that she will ALWAYS write sad bastard songs!!! Forever!! Even the ones that aren't sad are SAD!!! can't stop, won't stop!
