The mildly entertaining misadventures of my genuine self. Occasionally inappropriate, often not family friendly,
I started making refrigerator pickles during the pandemic. Last night I made my first batch of self-stable, water bath canned pickled vegetables. They need a few weeks to mellow (lots of vinegar), but I can't wait to see how they turned out and hope to not get botulism :D

I just learned about Daruma dolls, a traditional Japanese talisman of perseverance and good luck. I set a goal and color in one eye. The Daruma then watches silently as motivation. When the goal is achieved, I fill in the other eye, completing the Daruma's vision. White represents personal goals.

If you get one of these deceptive return postage paid mailers from the #FreedomFoundation, you know what to do. Send it back, of course!

Made "Marry Me Chicken" stuffed spaghetti squash. Sounded great, but I definitely wouldn't have married anyone for it. Waste of good homemade sun-dried tomato pesto IMO. Good thing he already married me 🤣

I realize this is folly considering where I live, but my grapefruit seeds are sprouting! 🤩🍊🌱

Best knife I ever brought home. Best souvenir from Japan.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...the best Disney musical that wasn't a Disney musical. The best James Bond musical that wasn't a James Bond musical. Peak Dick Van Dyke, peak Sherman brothers. So good...

Bahaha, look what the Freedom Foundation sent me in the mail today. And what's this? They included a postage paid return envelope! I wonder how many heavy objects I can fit in there, along with my note telling them where they can shove their phony check for $900. #freedomfoundation #unionstrong

Ladybug luck on the 11th floor of the Portland Building! It didn't land on me, but it landed on my window, so I still consider that good luck 😍🐞 #lucky #ladybug

Fresh batch of refrigerator pickles...red onion, jalapenos, carrots, and radishes. I separated the onion this time so it doesn't overpower the other vegetables. This jazz is so good on everything. #diy #pickles

DIY dishwasher repair for the win! Replacing the faulty control board didn't take any special expertise, and I saved at least $250 by doing it myself. #diy #youcandoit

Why, a "mist" of course! (i.e. Mistress of the Dark.) We found a mist of Elviras last night at QuarterWorld <3

A very casual sea star we spotted at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport 🤣

Just got my copy of the AAA Road Atlas for 2024. I love paper maps!!! HOT TIP: If any paper maps actually go into production that say Gulf of America, snap them up!! They'll be valuable collectors items you can show your kids from this brief, unfortunate time American history.

Portland's best party band, the Wanna Be-52s, are playing the Alberta Rose Theater on Jan 25th, along with Cars and DEVO bands. Come re-live the birth of New Wave on my birthday! Info: bit.ly/4jgFYhp

Dinner at Trader Vic's in the Hilton seems like a no-brainer :) Then walk across the skybridge to the Atlanta Marriott Marquis hotel. The lobby atrium is truly mind-bending. You can ride the glass elevator to the very top. It was so amazing and trippy, we had to go back and see it again.

December was particularly boozy. January's time for a fresh start. I'm now on Day 8 of Dry January, and I feel like I'm almost over the hump. The drink pictured here is my non-alcoholic version a whiskey sour: the Earl Grey Sour. It's made with chilled decaf Early Grey tea instead of whiskey.
