Sick of this shit. I want cookies and tea. But here I am, once again fighting for the oppressed. And the marginalized. Evil must not win.

Rest in peace Val. You certainly deserve it. I saw you in Real Genius before anything else. And loved you. You were lovable and funny. And incredibly cute. Thank you for being a part of teen years.

Let’s make a list. A list of things the current regime has done. A list of how his agenda and policies are hurting YOU. Every single day that they are in power.
I will go first. For every day they are in office I am treated less and less like a human being. That feeling is demoralizing and vile.

This was unexpectedly good. Binged it last night. The creators have an amazing imagination. My take away was that there is no life without death. And that there is no stopping the evolution of life.

May you take the time to look deep within
May the person you find be worthy of your friendship
May you weather the discomfort of change if they are not.
May you always want to be a better person.
Happy New Year to all.

A tiny tidbit. During Trumps inauguration…all flags will be flying at half staff. In honor of Jimmy Carter. It is federal law and Twatwaffle can’t do anything about it. Thanks Jimmy. For your parting gift to us all.

Baking blitz. Russian tea cakes. Or Mexican Wedding cakes depending on where are from. Cooling before powdered sugar coating.
For a cookie swap on Tuesday. Yum yum.
For a kick you can add 1/4tsp cinnamon and an extra 1/8tsp cayenne pepper. Yes!
10 dozen made. Onto fudge now.

We’re making a list, checking it twice. Crafting a ghost gun to entice…we are tired of our lives being a battery for the rich to drain.

I have lost count of the number of times I have seen Inside Out in the last week.
Otherwise known as “Riley”. I want to watch “Riley”.
I’m being held hostage by a 3 year old and a 6 year old. I’ll take it.
