Job: Communications (DE&I, ESG, whatever else is needed)
IRL: reading, art/architecture, movies/TV, NYC sometimes NC, trains, museums, LEGO, Disney, travel and magnets. Not necessarily in that order.
Magnet #1562, Good Night and Good Luck, my boyfren on Broadway. Also, I touched the Hildreth Meiere mosaics in the Red Room in One Wall and OMG, have literally been waiting decades to Get. Into. This. Damn. Room.

Also, picked up a $2k shoe like I was in Shoe Show. 😄

So windy today, I had to take my earrings off, so they wouldn't blow away. But I literally had a long sleeve and T-shirt on while walking from 10th St up to 92nd.

Tomorrow is going to be TWENTY-THREE degrees lower.

Good grief, Charlie Brown.

Annnnnd apparently me as a dragon rider. With wings. 🙄

Also, the back side of this place is so odd. But I love that they kept the three historic smokestacks.

Dislike bringing Mom to Caesars Danville, but since the casino/hotel opened it's gotten better.

Plus, they now have an Art-o-Matic, which I LOVE SO MUCH. I love these things. Bought an art block & clay earrings.

Watching a nice older couple buy a couple of things. Cute. And for a book nonprofit!

Hollywood: a movie where people are using Meta AI as Second Life.

Like, you create these AI images and then it becomes real and the consequences therein when people either

1) like their AI life better or

2) realize IRL is better and

3) realize we're all the matrix or

4) WE ARE ONE.

Another good one from 2020

I'm trying to get rid of unnecessary subscriptions. I've had Evernote since 2013, but honestly don't use it enough to make it worth it. So I'm transferring content.

Found this untitled note from 2018. Dang, Monday mornings, I guess.

They've revamped the Kindle Challenge.

Gonna miss that completed books Kindle slider carousel, it was fun to flip through.

Didn't make my goal of 150 in 2024, but decided to reduce my 2025 goal to 100, cutting myself a break if I continue to try and read outside my preferred genre. Which, 🙄🙄🙄.

Casino at 7am, we left the house at 5, so Mom can have her casino time and then I can have 🚂 time with the nephew later this morning.

She just wanted to see the new casino. But what she really meant was the new machines. She don't care about the Caesar statue in the foyer. Bananas.

Huzzah, another personal pan pizza!

Cute. Legit, JetBlue always has the best livery and pithy lines of copy.

The fact that I no longer have to use my "Stupid Can't Buy On The Kindle App" Amazon list anymore is great.

Or dangerous.

And today, I drove an hour in Charlotte Christmas traffic to get great ramen that doesn't involve having to make reservations. Worth the agita of dumb Charlotte drivers.

You CANNOT be timid up on those highways, y'all. You dangerous.

I forgot to report back. Frosty was a DNF, then Auntie Jenny did a masterful job at creating this train, while Auntie Joy got dragged to the sofa to watch Rudolph not get invited to play in the reindeer games, until Rudolph was a DNF. The train also was a bit DNF. Hahaha.

I need to stop being up at all hours of the night. Just had to check that a 2am ET scheduled email actually deployed.

But also, I'm so proud I held off til Cyber Monday to get this FLW tea infuser. (And mug and saucer.)

Absolutely the stuff Mel Robbins said to stop buying. But it gives me JOY.

My nephew is babysitting Auntie Jenny and me on Friday. I'm bringing along an activity which will probably keep us occupied for a good 10 mins. And will look NOWHERE near as cute as the box.
