My son just competed in his school district’s oral language competition (humorous solo) with “A Pig Parade is a Terrible Idea” by @michaelianblack.bsky.social so now of course the whole family is watching old episodes of The State and my son keeps saying, “I’m-a-the-pope-a”🤣

Anyone seen the new Netflix movie “Back in Action”? It taught me that I’m parenting all wrong by not being a spy 🤣

I care! I wonder if @ethanembry.bsky.social wants to blurb a fun book about Angela Lansbury!!!!

I’m still working on getting blurbs for my Angela Lansbury book (along with the wonderful people at Bloomsbury). Who have I forgotten? Any big wigs in the Lansbury world (golden age of Hollywood, Broadway, cozy mysteries) that spring immediately to mind?

After careful research, I’ve learned that a person should wear all black if they are attending a funeral, want to look super-hot, or are planning to eat spaghetti.

Explaining to my teen daughter that waking up before 11 is a good idea. I’m going with “The early bird catches the Hot Topic.”

I could make millions if I made Valentine’s for sixth graders— when kids are still supposed to bring classroom Valentine’s Day cards but don’t really want to: a black card that just says, It’s Valentine’s Day From

Time is such a funny thing under this current president. This last month has moved so fast while feeling like years and years and years.

Loved the SNL documentary about the show’s music, especially the “weird music.” But still no Weird Al?!?! Come on, SNL! Make your music weird again!

I’ve reached the “asking for blurbs” stage of my book. So, if you need me, I’ll be bravely sending emails and then curling into a tight little ball and hiding for the rest of the day.

🚨 New episode! 🚨 We’re diving deep into "Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch"! 🥪 Why does Weird Al sound like he’s being held hostage? Was this parody a crime against sandwiches? Or something better? LET’S INVESTIGATE. www.beerdalpodcast.com/dare-to-be-s...

You might think the kids would be proud to show you all they’ve learned. But what they’ve learned is a tuba-heavy version of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” By @lilyehirsch.bsky.social medium.com/frazzled/you...

The bored and haunted looks on the junior high kids’ faces at a recent band concert inspired this silly one, up today at Frazzled! medium.com/frazzled/you...

This was so much fun! And I offer a potentially controversial take on Weird Al’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch”! www.beerdalpodcast.com/dare-to-be-s...

This is the only former reality star (you haven’t forgotten Flavor of Love, have you?) who I want to hear from today.

Q: What do Angela Lansbury and Weird Al have in common? A: They’re both awesome, the same author wrote books about both of them, and they look good on a turquoise cover! #angelalansbury #weirdal

Cover reveal! I love it! And I love the original portrait by Thom Kofoed!

Great news. But I need more info. How good does the humor have to be? I sadly suspect my love of puns is driving my daughter away even though I love her berry much 🤣🍓

My heart palpitations are back and, somehow, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they came back this past week. Anyone have peaceful, calming thoughts to share? My friend’s take—“Well, it doesn’t matter because the sun will one day kill us all”—amazingly didn’t help 🤣

If I give my dog an award for his wonderfulness should it be the Pawlitzer or the Nobel Leash Prize?

Trying to stay sharp today despite the current news. And this bread loaf my neighbor baked is really helping! I love it as much as it appears to love me 🤣
