Happy #SpotifyWrapped2025 day, aka the most embarrassing day of the year. I'm impressed that TLOAS made it to my top 10 considering it's only been out for two months. My #1 of the album? "Wood." Oh Laura.

1. We were listening to RENT today.
2. Later, when I added up my kid's reading log minutes, I got to say, "you read (singing) 525...minutes" and the children LAUGHED

I wrote this thing in 2022 when I was having panic attacks. It references a "hack" I found on TikTok that I tried...sticking frozen food down your bra. Anyway, doing it now.

The implications of banning an app may have given me a cute little first thing in the morning panic attack, but at least the dogs were up to the task.

This year’s “Doctor Who” Christmas special may be the cutest one yet, thanks to new co-star Nicola Coughlan. But is “cute” enough?

Watching Barbie for the first time since (gestures at world). It hurts very badly. Too real.

No one at my family's Thanksgiving has seen Wicked so we had to talk about politics. Unacceptable.

I absolutely do not think we should remake Singin' in the Rain, but I do want something that has the same feel as it and starring Jonathan Bailey and Mike Feist.

Ahem. This is my favorite "What Is This Feeling" tutorial and my child CACKLED like the witch herself when I tried to do it at speed which I'm going to take as a win.

I saw Wicked in a not very busy theater in downtown Portland on the day after it premiered and someone left during "Dancing through Life" to go to the bathroom I presume which is sacrilege. But I will say people got very still during the Ariana Cynthia dance.

I am welling up a normal amount listening to the Wicked soundtrack (which has major spoilers, btw).

Me: What books have you liked recently?
New tutoring client: I think you and I might have different tastes in books. I read a lot of murder mysteries.
Me: I met you an hour ago, but how can you have made such a horribly wrong judgment about my interests?

I was "randomly" chosen to volunteer as tribute to chaperone my "spirited" child 's science museum field trip today. Why is it that I have a feeling the odds WERE in my favor?

Don't worry, past Laura. In 2024, thanks to your children, you'll be on your second Lost rewatch of the year and will listen to Newsies in the car about once a week without having to be the one to request it. The world won't even end in 2012. In 2024 though...
