Going to Pompeii today so naturally I had to revisit the Mount Vesuvius episode of Puppet History before going!

Listened to my Leafs playoff anthem and now I'm ready for the game

Penelope has The Passion #GoLeafsGo

This is all I've been able to think about both times I've watched Canada play the US.

Sending you lots of love and good vibes! And a puppy picture for an extra smile

Penny gets lots of forehead kisses 💗

My girl just came from Texas to a Canadian winter, so she needs all the insulated year she can get 😅

Had to make sure Penny was ready to rep her team asap

Penelope and I are sending you lots of love and healing vibes! ❤️

Almost all my pictures of Penelope are of her sleeping, because I can only capture blurs when she's awake

Late night post to show off my new little girl, Penelope (named after the iconic @vangsness.bsky.social Criminal Minds character)

She's a one year old, 13 lb terrier mix and a Texas girl learning to handle her first Canadian winter.

Poop bag storage! I wish my girl liked her sweater, but she tries to chew it off immediately. Unfortunately, she's a Texas girl in her first Canadian winter, so she's gonna have to get used to it.

If we lived closer together, I'd definitely be arranging park dates every time we dog sit my in-laws' Aussie, Charlotte

My boyfriend and I are watching Gladiator, and while he was looking up Marcus Aurelius he came across this incredible name

My handsome fella is currently on set one of two at the Ship, so I'm cranking out dishcloths while I watch.

(My backpack is a triceratops named Dr. Raura Dern and she holds my knitting for me. Shoutout to @lisawalters.bsky.social for the name suggestion!)

My in-laws' Aussie, Charlotte, stayed with us for a bit and she carries this gingerbread man around so gently, it's adorable.

Today's episode of 60 Songs That Explain the 2000s is so good.

Liam and I booked a couple of nights at Saltwater Manor and my god, what a spot. We even lucked out with a break in the weather. Today was sunshine (even had a 🌈!), and we're making good use of the hot tub. Tomorrow is rain, and we'll curl up and read/knit by the fireplace. It's magical.

Post a picture of yourself too show the newbies what they're dealing with

This reminds me of @itsmitchmarney.bsky.social tweeting about wanting Kyle Dubas to make a trade

My in-laws' Aussie, Charlotte. We've been watching her while they're on vacation and they come home tomorrow. I have a feeling that after a few Charlotte-free days it's going to be a lot easier to talk my boyfriend into adopting a dog 👀

Seventeen years ago I found my best friend. Seventeen years of adventuring together, cooking for each other, you gently correcting my bad hockey takes, and so much more. My only wish is for a hundred more years of this. ❤️

Can it be two? Because I definitely feel equal parts Liz Lemon and Penelope Garcia (minus the tech know-how)

After more than three decades of my 92 year old Nan cooking turkey dinner for me, I got to cook one for her. And she liked it so much, she asked me to show her how I made my turkey 🥹
