New Jersey problem: don't quite understand why but when I type out BJs (as in the wholesale club where I buy all my groceries) I'm always tempted to spell it BJais (as in D'jais the legendary night club around the corner from my family shore house)

I always thought that Bob's Burgers was set in NJ but we just watched an episode and Linda said deli meat multiple times rather than cold cuts and now I don't know.

There's not actually anything I can do about this but I can't stop thinking about the bike ride I went for yesterday and the whole trail was surrounded by nothing but mugwort, mullein and multiflora rose. No small native plants at all.

Really rude of Laurie Berkner to have jumping in one of the verses of Rocketship Run. Like isn't throwing my 26 pound toddler up in the air enough?

We finished Andor so we're watching A New Hope and I realized that even though Andor and the other new Star Wars movies are excellent they're not campy and that's an important element of Star Wars to me.

Wow I am glad someone told me to watch through the credits on the last episode of Andor.

I'm invited to two baby showers this summer and I think I'm gonna make a mix CD of like Raffi, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell, Dan Zanes, Okee Dokee Brothers and Caspar Baby Pants so they're ready to dance with their babies.

Sometimes I think about all the things I could bike to with my kid from my house without breaking a sweat (our pool club, Hmart, the Edison Library, Rutgers Garden, the Zimmerli art museum) except I value actually being alive and not seriously injured and I get really pissed off.

My dad thinks I should run for Congress and I'm thinking that the center point of my platform is going to be mailing all toddlers a pair of overalls starting when they're 18mo til they're 4 because overalls are the cutest.

Truly do not grasp adults who are like "I'm gonna be a cool parent and my kids are gonna listen to Lana Del Ray instead of Raffi?" Like, friendo you're only cheating *yourself* out of Down By the Bay rhymes. Raffi is great.

The lighting for this NJ gubernatorial primary debate is terrible. Mikie Sherrill looks like a ghost.

I want to plant bayberry bushes in my yard for some bird habitat and because they're drought and deer resistant and I hate (but love) that there's a silly little voice in my head that firmly believes that I could make bayberry candles.

Today's bartering bread for eggs recipe is this. It's proofing on the counter and it smells so good! Because we're in a clingy phase I managed to knead it while wearing a giant toddler on my back. www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/verm...

I think a lot about prepping but I have overlooked an important part about prepping which is being careful and not hurting myself. It is very fun to have a very bruised toe (from tripping while carrying too many groceries), a toddler who wants to be worn and a garden that needs to be weeded.
