Happy Wednesday! It snowed yesterday in Massachusetts. It’s April! Come on! Will winter never free us from its chilly prison?! Spring is suddenly getting busy over here. Anyone else already feeling overcommitted? I’ve been loving little PJ sets lately. Does anyone have recommendations of places that are affordable and have fun prints/colors? … Sarah: I was a guest on I Couldn’t Throw It Out with Michael Small exploring his history as the author of Fabio’s … Continue reading Links, Language, Ursula K.

Happy Wednesday! I’m hungry! We’ve been doing a lot of cooking lately, but our yummy leftovers never seem to last long. My partner works from home, so they are usually his lunches. I think we have to start doubling up on recipes. We recently made this white chili and it was so good. My partner couldn’t find green chiles and we used chipotle chiles in adobo instead. Definitely recommend the change if you want a … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Black History, & More→
Welcome back! Did I mention last week that I have the flu? We’re about ten days in and I’m just starting to feel like a human again. Still super fatigued and my own mucus is trying to kill me, but it’s an improvement to the cold sweats and shivering. I missed my flu shot this year and NEVER AGAIN! Get your seasonal shots, if you’re able! Has anyone else been laid low with sickness already in … Continue reading Links: Julia Quinn, Holiday Recipes, & More→

Is it Wednesday? Who knows anymore! I sure don’t. I’ve redownloaded Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey because mentally, I just want to be a buff lady, sneaking up on dudes, and giving them a violent dirt nap. Last time I played in on a console, but I’m trying PC out because I’d rather be cozy in my gaming chair with a beachy candle burning than downstairs on my couch where we don’t have a mini split installed. I’m … Continue reading Links: Cowboy Romance, K-Dramas, & More→

Last year, I was a hot dog and plan to recycle the costume. But as an added bonus, I bought our little kitty Fig a matching hot dog suit.

Welcome, everyone! My partner and I are officially homeowners and we got to sign our paperwork in a haunted law office. Absolute perfection. We won’t move in for a bit because there’s painting to do and flooring to replace, but I’m feeling very emotional (in a good way) about the whole thing. The notion of not renting anymore and being able to customize whatever I want feels so freeing! The possibilities are endless! I’m also … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Cheese, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links, everybody! I love hearing about all of your yummy fall foods. I do have to make a point to pick up some candy corn soon. I am an unabashed candy corn and candy pumpkin lover. How do you feel about Halloween candy? Any distinct favorites? For me, fall means lots of dips and soups. I love a soup or a molten lava hot dip with a crunchy little chip. Ugh, … Continue reading Links: Romancing the Vote, Yarn, & More→
