Me to car salesman: I can't part with my 2014 Honda Odyssey for sentimental reasons
Him: this might be inappropriate to say but you remind me of Zeta-Jones.
Me: Catherine Zeta-Jones?
Him: Yes from Zorro. Have u seen it?
Me: here's my van. I will take every car you have

My son is a hard core #bibliophile. It's hard to keep up with his appetite for books, but I realized I have saved my books from my 4 years at Duke.

His goal is to get through then by the end of the summer! 🤯 I love how curious he is. We'll be posting updates as he goes!!

Is 69k unread emails below average, average or above average? 👀😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Do I tell him they are for the kids or just let him feel special? ❤️❤️❤️

Lately, it feels like my dream of being a writer is playing second fiddle to my real world obligations and day time job. So excited to attend the Deep Dive to get focused in 2025!

THE GOOD PART x DO I KNOW YOU?
An impulsive anniversary wish sends an unhappy power couple back in time, rewinding two decades of deception and offering them a chance to explore what might’ve been if they hadn’t married #P2Ppit #a #r #q

My husband @kmschmid1977.bsky.social and I are ending 2024 agreeing on a beginning for our joint novel!

Our book baby is finally ready to be sent into the world. Hopefully good things are on our writing horizon for 2025 🥳🥳🥳

Someone left this comment on my latest essay and it's everything. Thank you stranger for making me think maybe I'm not a failure as a writer. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My son doesn't use social media. He just reads. Even when snorkeling in Mexico...

In this latest episode of my 40 year old life, I saw this test on the counter. Sighed that I wasn't pregnant, but wondered when I did the test bc I didn't remember peeing on it.

Then I realized it was my son's covid test.

Unless I did pee on it and we have to begin again... 👀

I currently have 17 followers on here. Would showing some skin get me to 18?

My forearm has seen better days but it still gets the occasional wink by passersby.

My husband and I both work from home. When I feel overwhelmed, I'll ask him for a cuddle break. We cuddle for a few minutes and it helps get me through the day.

26 years together and he's still my cuddle buddy. ❤️

He's an investment consultant. I'm an attorney. But we are both writers
Life has so many paths. Glad we got to share that today at
our kids' school #greatamericanteachin event!❤️❤️❤️
