I have many things to do, but I obviously will not be doing them for a bit.

“The Electric State” is somewhat “Maximum Overdrive” for a new generation.

This is the first starter pack I’ve ever been added to, and the fact that the description includes the words “yam tits” makes it even better! 🥳🥹

Let’s not forget Trump was killing people in his first presidency too. This is a screenshot of a conversation with a lifelong friend when the COVID vaccine was coming out. My husband is a pharmacist, so that’s who I’m referring to in my reply. She never got vaccinated and went on to die from COVID.

Latest project! I can already tell I’m going to love the finished product!

Sat night in the 80s: 2 hours of hair & makeup prep in order to go drag main Sat night now: I can’t wait to cross stitch & read on my sunporch! I can use the same readers for both!! Bonus: fresh batteries in my hearing aid so I can listen to Whitesnake while I read & cross stitch!

Wow! I hadn’t checked for a bit, and I come back to 30+ new followers! Welcome! Hope you like mediocre posts!! 😆

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Curled my hair this morning. The left side said, “YAS!” The right side said, “LOL.”

There’s a surprisingly large number of people who are willing to burn down their house to kill a spider.

Contemplating auditioning for a role in “Packing Up Polly” at my local community theater. Concerned I’m too old to pass for a 40-something. Also concerned I’ll have to do a convincing southern accent. Hoping they’re desperate enough for actors to ignore those concerns.

Is there a 6th grade chemistry and physics teacher in the house? 😬

My 15 year old granddaughter is in love with Matt Dillon, and I am HERE for it!!

Currently scrolling through my feed looking for videos of politicians getting booed by their constituents.
