Woo hoo! Just when I was a bit in the dumps on the querying treadmill, @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social announced the Honorable Mentions for #PBParty! Grateful for the boost and positive vibes for ARE WE THERE YET? Highly encourage PB writers to enter and try, try again. This was my 3rd year. 😊

Y’all. I picked up this color sample as a joke, but it looks really good in my living room. Think my house might honestly need More Cowbell!

Expecting nine inches of snow today! I grew up in CO where that would be another day at the office. But here in AR it is Snowmageddon. I may be the only person on my block who owns a snow shovel.

Y’all. Am I the only person who loves Turkish Delight? It is one of my fave treats and people are disparaging it on social media. This pistachio type is especially delicious! 😋
And it is a Narnia staple!

I’m bringing the broccoli dish for Thanksgiving…which is hilarious. It was my least favorite, made me gag, absolutely refused food as a kid. My Grandma Jo is definitely cracking up in heaven to see this day. 🥦

Here’s what I asked Santa to bring me. Now I feel extremely intimidated. I swear that adorable little 🐥 is laughing at me!
On the plus side, I am now motivated to write as a way to avoid learning to crochet!! 🧶
