I just found these photos someone took of my spouse and me dancing in a field at a wedding like 20 years ago and my heart is officially warmed. ♥️

a little late, but #Halloween flashback to that time our kid was Ursula the Sea Witch. (we hand-sewed all those purple felt “suckers” onto her tentacles!)

happy Caturday from Adventure Jack, who has finally taken the great leap onto the tallest bookcase in the living room. Trudy (the ceramic head) wonders how he’ll get down. #cats

touched grass tonight in the form of a dinner out with a couple dear friends. there was good conversation, a smiley waiter, and brandied apple pie a la mode. for this fleeting moment, my mind feels like a slate wiped clean.

everything is awful but I walked around outside with my family and got a cupcake, and then I worked on editing my novel and designing a scrapbook of early childhood memories. what small joys did you manage to find this weekend?

birthday fun vintage shopping at Illicit Rag here in Baltimore! also: banana Oreo, bad TV, a birthday serenade from the teen, and some high-quality goofing off. A+ day, no notes.

I know it’s a small thing to get excited about, but getting excited about small things is just about the best and only way to experience real happiness these days.
(here’s what I’m reading and listening to tonight)
