She/Her

My dream is to be on Jeopardy but my absolute nightmare is landing on a Daily Double.
The puppy my roommate and I adopted in 2012 died yesterday. Rude. He knew I was having a rough year and said “let’s make it worse”. I’ve aged 10 years in the 24 hours he’s been gone. Asshole. Will never forget him or forgive him for doing this to me. Rigby, love you forever, save me a seat in hell.

Big news, I am now the proud owner of this beauty (and whatever spirits are attached to it).

Favorite family member died Saturday night. Thankfully the engineer in the house has made sure I can still play Oblivion while waiting on a replacement 😔

Yesterday I went on a dog walk and met a woman who was probably 12 years younger than me. When I told her my dog’s name is Ned Flanders she said “Oh! Like the song!”

No….like Ned Flanders.

Anyway I brought my clay rusty balloon knot home and now I’m playing a fun game where I hide it somewhere in the house and see how long it takes my husband to find my secret butthole.

Found an interesting mold in my ceramics studio today.

I just finished Mad Men and am obviously in a really good place mentally so I made this instead of giving myself bangs.

My favorite part of making pottery is experimenting with different glazes and seeing how they react together. Sometimes you find a really cool combo... and then other times it looks like you took a perfectly good bowl and smeared some shit onto it.

Husband and I each pulled a tarot card for the new year. His said he would have a prosperous year. Mine said I should quit my job and stop being so materialistic.

One dog, one cursed entity forced to spend his life in the body of a dog.

I'm going to win my Annual White Elephant Gift Exchange this year.

I’m having a Day so now everyone has to look at my dogs.

I don't know what gives her the right to lounge like that, it's not like she pays rent.

Haha honestly, I still feel intimidated when I show up for class- I am for sure the worst one, but I try! I also constantly threaten to divorce Aleks for being better at it than I am. 😅

My current pride and joy is my Jug Mug

Increasingly jealous of my best friend, who sleeps approximately 19 hours a day, waking only to eat, take a silly little mental health walk, and then scream into the void.
