Made a giant pot of tomato bisque and a grilled cheese for this snowy day. It was worth the effort

I probably make my life harder than I need to, but I love home cooked food.

Kendrick is so petty and I am LIVING

That’s a lie. I’m fully caught up with 90 day fiancé and the three recap podcasts about it that I listen to.

Ooooh NCIS Sydney is coming back. Maybe I’ll watch that.. -the girl that has kept up with 0 shows

This is just a Stan account for my dogs.

I am maybe obsessed. She’s really cute.

Jet lag has my body thinking that sleep time is actually nap time.

Welp. He doesn’t like her. We’ll give it some time.

Red eye flights always seem like a good idea in concept. -Sleepy in San Francisco

Whew. This airport is so packed in the middle of the night

Whew. Now I am so full. Of food and prosperity.

My sister wanted black eyed peas to ring in the new year. My mom didn’t feel like cooking so I made her some…and a Thanksgiving lineup.

Damn Oregon. Y’all were aware you had a game today, right?

I, personally, don’t love having to engage with strangers but I’ve gotten used to it after 4 years of having this extremely social dog. And, now, I’m getting a second one… 2025 will be abundant with unsolicited conversations.

My dog gets a lot of attention on walks now. People don’t often see Pekingese pups, generally, and especially ones with really nice coats like his. So many people stop to talk to him, take photos, snuggle, etc. Sometimes he just walks up to people to say hi.

Going back to work on the 6th is gonna be rough…

The rest of this week is going to be rough, sleep wise. No sleep last night, late to bed tonight, red eye back to Chicago on the 2nd. Picking up my puppy on the 4th and dog sitting starting on the 5th. This all seemed like a good idea when I was scheduling each thing individually.

My sister moved the doggie gate from the bottom of the steps to the landing and now, obviously, he thinks he no longer knows how to get through so he needs me to come carry him up the stairs.

My child (dog) woke me up at 3 am. Now, 2 hours later, he’s snoring away and I’m watching Columbo, begging for sleep to come.

My new tats are soooo cute. That was an all day affair though. Just finally ate some real food. I was slowly perishing.

Every time I say I need to stop spending money, I basically immediately spend another $200. Maybe I need to reverse psychology myself.

Haven’t gotten one in 10 years. This will be fun.

I’m about to get my 6th and 7th tattoos. Woot woot.

Whew. I am sore. All I did yesterday was walk around, cook, hug and watch Beyoncé. Body feels like I ran a half.

90 Day Last Resort is really bringing it this season.

Watching Substance with my brothers and this movie is MAINY. Yikessssss

Damn. Beyoncé. I love her so much.

My brother is forever so cool. Christmas jammies, dogs in tow.

It’s a beautiful day in the Bay Area. I miss living near mountains.

Merry Christmas to all except the idiots who started shooting off fireworks at midnight last night.

I am in that precarious time where I’m awake but the pups are sleeping. I need to potty but I feel my day will begin as soon as I get out of this bed and I am not ready

This game is maybe embarrassing? Like is it worse to make the playoff and lose or not make it at all? Existential question, really.

Damn SMU.

The worst part about real winter is having to put on hella clothes. It’s so nice to just be able to slide on my birks clogs and a hoodie and go on about my business.

Feels good to be back home in CA. It’s 50 degrees and I’m about to go wine tasting. Good times, good times

I leave on Friday morning to spend two weeks in CA. I have neither packed nor cleaned my home nor run any errands. Tomorrow is the day though.

Before Covid, I would travel 70-80% of the time for work. I got really efficient with packing and being gone, etc. My brain assumes that I still operate this efficiently.

Sometimes you ask candidates a question and it’s like opening a link to a recipe “It all started in 1982…”. Friend. Please no.

I am part of a few interview panels today and if I have any advice for people in the job hunt, it is to be concise. Prepare for the interview, look up sample questions and prepare your examples following the STAR method. *gets off soapbox*

Lagree on Sunday mornings is only a good idea early in the week when I schedule it and after I complete it. This dragging myself out of bed and walking to the studio in the cold is excruciating.

I feel like the amount of my I spend increases exponentially every time I say “I should stop spending money.”

That being said, this show is excellent. Can’t wait to go home to CA in a few days and watch it with my dad.

I love laying in bed and watching Columbo. It’s so wild how they would investigate cases in this show (before DNA, etc). He was leaning over the body, smoking a cigar, nary a glove in sight.

Sliced my toe open and bruised my calf putting this pen together for the puppy. How? I literally have no sense of periphery.

They took a holiday photo of him. 😭

I love that the groomer sends me photo updates of the side eye they’re getting.

His last few weeks as an only pupchild.

Just started season 2 of Shrinking and this show…such a gem.

I was so kind. I didn’t even blow snot in his face or stand on his chest.
