Merry Christmas from my little home to yours! Please know you are seen, heard, loved, and appreciated today, tomorrow, and every day.

Then again.

My classes skew about 75 percent female. Most comm/journalism programs do. So did I include a free extra Taylor Swift references in my copyright law lectures this week? Duh. Because you gotta meet the people where they are.

I’m just really down today. Can’t shake it.

I’ve been more quiet than usual lately because, well, things aren’t great and it doesn’t really matter.

My Mount Rushmore of Christmas Movies: Christmas Vacation Home Alone Ernest Saves Christmas Elf

Really having a hard time even thinking about my oldest kiddo possibly moving away for college in 20 months. I want him to chase his dreams more than anything. But, as much as your kid can be like your best friend, he’s like my best friend. It’s a lot to think about.

When I watch “Frosty the Snowman” with my kids, I realize it’s like half my personality. I forget how often I quote it in everyday life all year long. Mostly Professor Hinkle. “Busy, busy, busy.” “Mess--y, mess--y, mess--y!”

Is Boba Fett still a cool character? Does he still have rizz? Or did the Book of Boba Fett show kinda ruin that? Growing up he was the coolest. Now I don’t know anyone under 30 who likes Boba Fett very much.

Had a dream that I got fired. 0/10. Would not recommend this nightmare.

I’m sick. I had to cancel class today. I only have in-seat class on Monday and Tuesday. Do I have class in-seat tomorrow or just have online only class? I worry my voice will give out after 20 minutes or so. In-person class is always better but do I want my college kids to commute just for tomorrow?

I’m still here. Just sick af all weekend.

Is it possible to dream of someone you haven’t met yet? I don’t mean about someone famous or someone you’ve only talked to online but haven’t met in real life. I mean someone you haven’t met yet who shows up in dreams. Like a new friend. I guess that sounds crazy.

I’ve been watching a lot of Back to the Future this weekend and I’m totally convinced had his life turned out differently, Michael J. Fox could’ve starred in the Mission Impossible movies. He’s so very good at running, at emoting, and at throwing a punch during a fight he can’t win.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I hope you have a good one. Please know that you’re seen, heard, appreciated and loved.

In causal conversation with my grandma today and I found out, for the first time in my life, that I’m about 2 percent Native American. —- “So my great grandma was half Native American.” This is literally news to me.

Staying at my grandma’s for Thanksgiving which means we are watching nothing but the Hallmark channel all weekend.

Sometimes a day can turn on a dime and make you feel invincible, like the very air you breathe tastes sweet. Sometimes a day can turn on a dime and make me feel lousy, like it’d be a better world if you jumped off a cliff.

I’ve never been through airport security without being patted down or searched a little. Honestly, it comes with shaving your head. In Orlando this morning they were, let’s just say, very thorough and detailed in their pat down. Ugh.

Had a good but exhausting day in Florida with kiddo’s first college tour. I don’t know if he’ll pick Florida Tech but it seems pretty great. As a parent, I am zero percent ready for him to move away to college. I’ve gotta cherish these next 21 months or so with him.

The reality is I could post anything here and, at least so far, no one would seem to notice or care. It’s like real life in that sense.

Let’s go! (On my way to Florida.)

I will say about the Gaetz situation - they may seem to have all the perceived power but the power is really with the people. People didn’t stop making a big deal about the investigation and ethics report - so something had to be done. Remember that ✅

“Pizza dude’s got 30 seconds.”

Just checking in. How’s your day going?

While it’s important to set up the story/conflict, I forgot how dull the first half hour of “Gladiator” is until rewatching it tonight.

I put up five shelves today. Now I realize this is not impressive on its own. (“Congrats, Jeremiah, you did an hour of manual labor. Do you want your own HGTV show now?”) But I’ve owned these shelves for months and have just been meaning to put them up. Today, I actually made time to do the work.

I think I’d like to get a “The Shadow Proves the Sunshine” tattoo but I don’t want it to be just the words or maybe I don’t want text at all. So I’ve been sketching out artwork to represent that visually. No luck yet. But maybe I’ll stumble upon something cool…

I really need to set some new goals for myself. Start doing something. Stop doing something. Get better at something. Work toward something. (You get the idea.) I often feel like I’m just trying to get through the week each week and I hate that feeling.

Sometimes I buy an action figure & can’t decide if I wanna keep it or resell it. The fact that there’s a He-Man/Vecna set & a Skeletor/Demogorgon set is bonkers. But can I just say my religious upbringing makes me iffy about the big devil head on StrangerThings He-Man’s shield. Is it a dealbreaker?

I’m super approachable. For real. The odds of a total stranger asking me for help or telling me their life story while I’m just out buying groceries or something is almost off the charts likely. I feel really lucky in this regard because most people just love to be listened to.

This is how you know we are watching Back to the Future tonight.

Just found out my kiddo scored a 33 on his ACT! He’s worked and studied so hard and gosh I’m so proud of him.

Nothing makes me feel quite as old as teaching my oldest kiddo how to drive. It really feels like I was just learning to drive last summer, when in reality it was like 1999 and I hadn’t even heard of Shrek.
