I do things.
Um on a different part of the internet I posted this photo with (what I thought was a) a bold-faced lie about watering the kelp beds so they bloom later in the summer and I think the people of the internet might trust me way too much.

Survived a whole-ass hockey tournament this weekend.

4 games in 72 hours.

Two ties, two losses, 4th place in our group, and a hell of a lot of fun.

Team photo from Andy Glass, local hockey photographer!

My friend Cassie perfectly captured what it’s like for strangers to meet Mabel.

Cassie looked at her too long. Which is SUSPICIOUS.

This is all I have to offer today.

1. You’re invited.
2. Check out image 4 for some ways we still need support for the event.

Four months of Mabel + her second birthday-on-paper = a trip to the beach, picking out a toy at the store, and some doggy ice cream today.

Mabel decided to test out sitting under my desk while I worked today.

If you need a reaction when you’re pretending to be shocked about things that should be shocking but aren’t because nothing is shocking anymore, I present you this:

I mean can we talk about Canada annexing Washington? We’re ready. Take us. Please. 😂😭

*holds arms up to be picked up*

But family day sounds nice. I will celebrate it with my family.

Here she is acting like I murdered her after the bath in her towel. 😂

Guess who’s about to get her first bath since I adopted her?

Mabel says this snow stuff is 10/10.

I’m SURE she’s seen snow before—she spent the first 1.5 years of her life out by Wenatchee—but this is the first time we’ve seen snow TOGETHER, and probably the first time she’s seen snow and was safe enough to PLAY in it.

She’s a good potato.

Bringing this over here for anyone who has left other platforms. Surf Vamp’s annual Women on the Water #InternationalWomensDay paddle out in #Seattle is happening again this year!

How I’ll be making it through the next 4 years.

Happiest on a log at the beach.

Stop harshing her vibe she just wants to do hacky sack and eat snacks from crinkly bags.

Please observe my dog.

Don’t let anyone tell you this is a normal storm. It’s not “just wind”

They clocked a 101 mph gust offshore—but not by much—northern Vancouver Island. (I marked the buoy’s approximate location with an orange dot on the map.)

Also for the record this is Mabel. She is my roommate.
