Update: I was so excited to eat mine I didn't let it cool down enough and burned both my tongue AND the roof of my mouth but it was WORTH IT

Made a double batch of Shepherd's Pies today (made with ground beef, so technically they're cottage pies). 8 for the freezer in my Souper Cubes, 4 in the oven right now for enjoying tonight and as leftovers this week. Now I'm tired.

A current cross stitch project. The kit is called Once Upon a Time from Abris Art. Will eventually have flowers and an open book below the castle.

Today I referenced the Horse in the Hospital bit in therapy and my therapist had never seen it, so I got to text her that link (in addition to all the article links I text people that they'll never read) youtu.be/JhkZMxgPxXU?...

I DNF'd a contemporary romance because both MCs were high school teachers, and two popular students were named Nancy and Rhonda. Sorry not sorry, I can't suspend my disbelief for that.

There was a restaurant inside the 7-11 gas station down the road from my house growing up in Louisiana that sold the most amazing shrimp poboys. I have never met their equal. The gas station is gone now, they built a CVS on that corner.

Day off work tasks: morning glory muffins and cross stitch

This is extremely niche, but the Cross Stitch Saga app is SO COOL if you cross stitch and want to use digital patterns. Now I'm sad that I have kits to use that only come with paper patterns.

I should know better than to try books that are sold as "#1 on Booktok" because I usually hate them. DNF'd another one last night for stilted prose and overuse of the word "because." I realize this sounds petty, but I tried to ignore it until I rage-quit at 57%.

My newest hyperfixation is cross stitch. Y'all, I am having the hardest time determining if some of these Etsy cross stitch designers are using gen A-eye. A lot of these patterns have the look of a photo clumsily pixellated or vectorized and converted. So annoying.

where is the lie

I could forgive the boomers a lot of things, but what is truly unforgivable is that they lied about the benefits of adulthood, primarily that I wouldn't have acne anymore

This week I learned that brown sugar is just white sugar mixed with molasses. I honestly don't know what I thought brown sugar was, I never questioned it before. But I certainly didn't expect it to just be white sugar mixed with something brown.

I was scrolling Pinterest when I came across this photo. This exact cross stitch hung in my house growing up. My mom made it when she was pregnant with me. And now it's cottagecore trendy again.
