I was in NYC visiting my bff in 2003 when we dropped bombs in Iraq. We were at Times Square in a huge war protest.
I was 24.
I’m 47 now and I’m still protesting my country dropping bombs in the Middle East.

The 17 yo’s bus broke down on the way to his lacrosse team’s first game of the season. Total engine failure. 😨

Reading The Radium Girls and my teething are aching in sympathy.
Me: Did you see that Flavor Flav invited the US Women’s Hockey team to a party in Vegas after trump mocked them to the men’s team & they declined an invite to the WH?
Him: No but I’m absolutely disgusted with the men’s hockey team now. I wish that Canada had won.
Me: 😍
2000s me didn’t know that 2026 me was going to love Flavor Flav.
Once I heard Nirvana on the oldies station, I knew it was over.
Gen Alpha update
13 yo: I really like the song “All the Small Things” by Blink One Hundred and Eighty-Two
Me: It’s just Blink 182
13 yo: 🙄
Me: You’re cute
Same ☝🏻
I may not be perfect (who is?) but I’ll do anything to help my people.
The roses and calla lilies he got me for Valentine’s smell so good 😊
Gen Alpha update:
My 13 yo participated in a walk-out protest yesterday against ICE. Some people think I radicalized her. She watched the videos of what ICE did in MN, she has Hispanic friends who are afraid of walking home from school, etc.
What radicalized her was her basic human decency.
Been on a high since the Seahawks won the Super Bowl and also because I predicted it 3 months ago.
Gen Alpha update:
Me: I can’t wait to watch the Seahawks win today.
13 yo: Mooom, don’t get cocky.
Me: But it’s the only sportsing I know.
Me: Hi, I’m calling about dietary accommodations for this event. I’m allergic to nuts.
Them: Well, we have a vegetarian option for the entree & a gluten free option for dessert.
Me: is the gluten free dessert also nut free?
Them: I don’t know.
Me: Cool, glad I spent $60 for this event.
Only in their wet dreams.
I always joke that I'm the plant hospice lady - plants come to me to have a peaceful death.
But it's true.
The office manager gave me a snake plant & said it's impossible to kill them.
Welp, snake plant is dead. RIP Snake plant.
She gave me a new snake plant. Must have a death wish.
I’m so glad I never micro bladed my eyebrows.
Thank you!

Every day of January has been, what’s the next upsetting thing to happen?

The Seahawks going to the Super Bowl is the most joy I’ve felt since the inauguration last year 💙💚💙💚
I hope I live long enough to see all these mother fuckers on trial at The Hague.
You know the world is upside down when I’m agreeing with the NRA.
I’m gutted, horrified, and depressed all at once.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.
