I ✨FINALLY✨ found the correct words to describe the hair cut I have been wanting for years. I couldn’t find a photo online or explain it well to a stylist (mine moved out of the state) but it’s an asymmetrical inverted bob!

Now I can find tons of photos!

WIP: holiday advent calendar project for my teenager.

25 identical wrapped boxes.

Each box has: 6-7 D&D Stickers, 4-7 random Magic the Gathering cards in holiday sleeves (foils, rares, and mythics), and 2-3 dice. A few “Special” boxes will have MtG booster packs.

I’m having way too much fun.

New nails!
I’ve successfully managed to keep up with getting my nails done/filled since early October and I FINALLY found my ideal shape and length. This is perfect.

Now I just wish my nails grew slower!

I’ll give you one guess.
What’s my favorite book?
😆

I’ve been collecting pretty editions for about 15 years now.
Am I missing any that you know of? lol

My new dice are amazing. 🤩

The holiday advent calendar project for my kid has become my newest hyper fixation.

I’m combining Dungeons & Dragons and MTG items each day and I’ve actually built an items table so I know what goes in each daily box.

Wrapping 25 little presents is gonna suck though.

Another “Amber” book, for sure.

I can’t go to Astoria without finding more spice treasures. Mmmmmm

I did it!
It’s only Nov 25th and I just beat my “books read in one year”* record!!!
I just finished #68

Can I hit 75 books before 2026?
We will see!

*I already beat my “pages read in one year” record last month :)

I started this book today and I’m really enjoying it so far.

My Japanese beetle cross stitch is coming along.
I’m kinda happy that my design is translating well now that there is some color.
:)

My manager is resigning and I want to make a gift as thanks for being a great mentor to me. The Japanese Beetle eradication project was our biggest effort during his time with the program but no pre-made cross stitch patterns exist for the beetle, so I had to design one from scratch using Stitchly.

My 2025 Battle of the Books brackets this far! I’ve read 64 books this year as of today.
I’m splitting Horror and Fantasy up this year because it’s so hard to choose between the genres. Some months were REALLY hard to decide.
It’s a good mix of YA and Adult Fiction this year!

My red knee tarantula cross stitch project is finished!

I didn’t get many photos from the Halloween party last night but I did get this one of my costume!

My low effort, high impact costume for the evening: A Lavender Menace!

Today I’m an office dragonfly.
Idk if I’ll win the contest but it’s certainly fun trying!
Working in the invasive entomology program meant I simply HAD to be an insect of some sort. :)
Happy Halloween!!!

Spoiler for tomorrow’s work costume, a dragonfly!!!
I’m not super happy with the “eyes“ but I think they will be fine with the rest of the costume on.

I’m almost done with my tarantula cross stitch project!

New nails! I wish the photo could capture the purple, teal, and silver sparkles!
They are soooooo pretty!
