The most adorable little kid was walking around campus today handing out valentines. I miss when the library kids would trick or treat at our faculty offices. We used to have so much happening on campus ☹️ #communitycollege #publiclibrary #pawpatrol #nickelodeon #valentines

When I was out in California last weekend for #XenaCon, I stopped by the @originalfunko store! Of course, I spent way too much money there! 😂 But I did find Parker some of the pops he was looking for & I got to take some pics with the life size pops! #funko #funkopop #hollywood

This past weekend at #XenaCon I had the opportunity to get some shots of some phenomenal #cosplayers! I loved seeing all the #Xena outfits! (Almost as good as my Xenomorph Warrior Princess 😉) 1/4 #XenaCon2025 #cosplay

Had a fantastic first #XenaCon in Burbank! In addition to the photo shoots I had, I met several cast members and acquired their autographs on their character portraits and my #Xena and #Hercules posters! I also had Lucy Lawless sign my #FunkoPop!

About to board the first of three flights on the way to #XenaCon! I’ve wanted to go to a #Xena convention since I was in high school, so I’m excited to attend the 30th anniversary one!

When I first got my 3D printer last spring, a coworker casually asked if I could print him a Red Hood mask. I don’t think he was being serious, but I figured “why not?” #3dprinting #redhood #cosplay #batman #dc #dccomics

For Christmas we gave Parker tickets to Animate! Raleigh. It’s a Voice Actor and animation (and pop culture) con put on by GalaxyCon. It was nice to see and experience one that was a slower pace than GalaxyCon. We got pics with a Baby replica from #Supernatural.

This is probably the latest we’ve ever put our tree up. As soon as it was up Boogie had to climb it. Christmas is in three days… will it stay up that long without the cats knocking it over? Guess we’ll see… #christmastree #cats

We’re playing a trivia game, and I got the circled question. I answered a squib. While I know Muggle is right, I don’t think squib was technically wrong. What say you, internet? #trivia #harrypotter

My mom has lung cancer and is in hospice. I was staying with her last night. In her confusion she asked me what my wife’s name was. I said “Tara” and she looked at me with a firm “No! Your REAL wife’s name.” So if anyone know who my real wife is, please let me know. 😂 #cancer #sundowning #hospice

So according to the app, @mcdonalds didn’t have McCrispy sandwiches today. I opted to go with a McRib instead. This is what I got. Really??? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Apparently it’s a McRibless. Guess I’ll grab something from Chick-fil-A in the mall. #fail #mcdonalds #mcdonaldsfail #fastfood

Just finished another rewatch of #Supernatural and damn do I hate that last episode 😭😭😭 Even watching now, it bums me out that Covid jacked up the plans of bringing more folks together for the last scenes. ☹️
