  • Currently Listening: A Holiday Carole by Carole King. πŸŽ΅πŸŽ„

    Album art for 'A Holiday Carole'

    First heard Carole on Gilmore Girls and then bought her compilation album at University. When I went home over the Holiday break and I was listening to it, my mother expressed shock because she listened to Carole when she was my age. 🀣

  • We put up the tree last night, with one of my favorite ornaments in a place of prominence. πŸŽ„ We bought more than a few of these beauties in 2020, giving them to a number of Friends. 🀣 πŸ“·

  • Date Night: Burgers (in my case, a veggie burger) @ Red Robin. πŸ˜‹πŸ”πŸ“·

    Two plates on a dark wood table, on two oval-ish white plates; fries on both of the plates but the plate in the foreground has a knife on it, as well as a burger.
  • I’ve never seen the food court at Costco so full…and given the amount of screaming babies around, it doesn’t sound like anyone is happy about it. πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

  • Slowly starting the process of moving my domains away from Google. 🀞🏻

  • 🎡 Yes, I know it’s too early for holiday music but it’s been a rough year…and it’s Cher, so the rules don’t apply. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

  • 🍿 “It’s just a little Hocus Pocus!" πŸ“·

    The movie 'Hocus Pocus' projected up on the side of a house at night, frozen at the title screen of the movie for the picture. In the lower-left corner of the image, a glowing fire, and in the upper-left of the image, the fading light of the setting sun.

    An annual tradition with my Girls from University, we started watching the movie (and pigging out) outside during the Pandemic and have just kept that as part of our Autumn event.

  • On a lark yesterday (it was a very long day at work), I decided “oh, what the heck, install the betas”…and honestly, I’m rather surprised. Both my phone and tablet are running faster and smoother. (Side Note: having iOS tag your pets into a collection is amazing. 🐢🐱) #iOS #beta

  • Random Thought: With Twitter (aka “X”) talking about collecting even more data (link to Ars Technica), now seems like a good time to export my old Tweets, remove the Twitter apps from my devices, and import said data into Micro Blog.

  • Random Thought: Sipping on my first and only pumpkin spice latte of the season. β˜•οΈπŸŽƒπŸ

  • Too much coffee today… β˜•οΈ

  • I keep looking up, expecting Russell to be on the couch or in his nest of blankets. I keep expecting to hear the clatter of his nails on the kitchen floor. I keep expecting to hear him woof and growl at the slamming of a car door. I keep expecting him to greet me @ the door. πŸ’”πŸΆ

  • Date night, went out to an old favorite of ours. 🍱πŸ₯’ πŸ˜‹

Being rather lazy on a Saturday, snuggling with the puppy, watching The Nanny, and finagling with my new/old computer (a log story for … read more
