My local Kroger has this. I’m supposed to take deviled eggs to a friendsgiving. Should I show up with this and let them think I don’t also have the eggs? 😁

We’ve changed vets recently because the previous one retired, and I’m loving this place. They ask you to stay in the car and call to say you’ve arrived, then they call when there’s an exam room ready. Kia’s getting her yearly.

These are long days. When your children are choosing a musical instrument, choose one that you can have in your house and don’t have to drive to.

Organ time. Practicing for the big Christmas thing. Warm enough to wear shorts today.

I made 12 Calzones a la @goodport.bsky.social tonight! Some are meatball with ricotta, marinara, and mozzarella; some are chicken with ricotta, roasted onions and peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto; and one is BBQ pork with red onions & baked beans!

Posting a belated review of the Versace Dylan turquoise because I thought at first I liked it, but after wearing it all day recently, I don’t. This is a 5. I like the citrus, aquatic smells I get at first, and at several hours out, I like the woodiness. The middle step, though, is a high-pitched

Somebody posted a prompt recently saying show a picture of your pet, and then one while you’re singing to it. Here’s Bean. I don’t think he likes my singing. 😄#caturday

It would be nice to think this is affection, but I know better. It’s the eternal struggle for dominance.

I already have my answer on today’s perfume test, Guerlain Mon Guerlain. I expected to like this because of the description, but I’m surprised to discover that I don’t. This smells like my grandmother’s dusting powder. I don’t hate it, but it’s not how I want to smell. Washing it off. Score is 4.

are a dime a dozen. I can still smell it hours later, but I don’t think it was ever so strong somebody would consider it obnoxiously present. If I were to change anything, I’d add in something like coffee or nutmeg or something with a little bite to it. I’m giving it a 9. #perfume

It was nice while it lasted.

Today, I wore Lancome Idole all day. Like the Armani My Way, it’s not offensive, but just meh. It’s generically floral. The scent lasted longer than My Way, at least on my left arm. 🤷♀️ Still, I can’t really imagine spending money on it. I can see I’m going to have to try some niche perfumes. Solid 7.

Today’s fragrance test: Armani My Way. For daughter, this is a 9. For me, it’s 8-. It’s pleasantly sweet and floral. Nice at 5 min, 30 min, and 2 hours. Very safe fragrance. I wouldn’t spend money on a full bottle, and unfortunately I won’t wear it even as a gift because my eyes are watering.

Kia the coonhound was unmoved. I did get a head tilt from Juno, the shepherd mix.

When your adorable 1st year piano student wants a Christmas piece about unicorns, you write her one. "Santa's unicorns are standing by just in case the reindeer can't fly." (Photo: public domain, by Crimson Rose) I'll list this one on Sheet Music Direct along with others I've written for students.

The rock between her paws is what she wants to chew in lieu of the chew toy on the floor. This morning she stole a new roll of toilet paper out of the linen closet because I failed to shut the door. #DogShenanigans

Gonna have to bring down my little pop-up greenhouse from the attic for my baby arugula, kale, and spinach!

a gajillion niche and indie possibilities. If you have a recommendation to line up with my favorite notes, I’d love suggestions, especially if they aren’t wildly expensive.

This is the first year in five that my daughter hasn’t been there for the weekend. I’m going to miss the photos from frat beach!
