Wasn’t sure about this flavor BEFORE the “White Lotus” finale aired, and NOW…

Question for you, and if you answer, where did you grow up? As a kid, did you sing a variant of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” that had an echoing refrain? Like “had a very shiny nose” and you’d sing out “like a lightbulb”? What did you sing? I am just finding out there were many variations.

Twitter is extremely creepy these days because 90% of the responses are bots and it’s not exactly clear why. Usually it’s not even political, it’s not selling anything, it’s just bots pretending to be people. The vibe is like boarding a city bus and realizing none of the passengers have faces

I should really share this every Thanksgiving. I interviewed the infamous Sharon of burnt pie fame, and then did another interview with her a year later.

Pepperidge Farm sent me stuffing-flavored rolls. We hear you like stuffing so…we stuffed stuffing in your rolls that you’ll have with your stuffing.

Our Ballard house made it through the Seattle bomb cyclone with few issues, but my husband took this photo in the Wedgewood neighborhood

Seattle is apparently having a bomb cyclone and the news anchors cannot stop talking about it, meaning I cannot stop singing Lizzo. “FRESH PHOTOS WITH THE BOMB CYCLONE! NEW MAN ON THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS!”

It's our anniversary and out of curiosity I looked up bridal fashions from the year we wed. Are...people really paying $150 for a copy of Modern Bride from 1993 or are these sellers just delusional?

Today some jerk sent me a Facebook friend request impersonating my friend Sue, who died in 2019. FB made me report it in this stupidly tangled way they have where you need to link to who’s being impersonated, and said they’d take it up with Sue. Um, OK, good luck with that, Zuckerberg.

I said “vaunted” to my teen the other day and while she has a pretty good vocabulary she said witheringly, “no one says that anymore Mom.” Like there was once a big summer where in addition to Valley Girl talk we all jumped on the new fad of saying “vaunted.”

K asked me what the UK national anthem was and I sang it for her because of course I did and she stared at me and said, “No way can that be it.”

Iowa and Caitlin Clark ARE STAYING IN OUR HOTEL WHICH I RANDOMLY CHOSE IN JANUARY FOR THE ECLIPSE. The clerk said, “People keep asking me, is Iowa here? Is the team staying here? Is CAITLIN here? And I tell them, what, naw, we just put up all this Iowa stuff for nothing!”
