Of course not! 🙄

Me as a kid: Obsessed for over a year with the Russian Revolution & the Romanovs, kept a file of dinosaur facts alphabetized by species, was told I'd get along better with the other kids if I didn't act so weird.

Me now: My kid is autistic? How, no one else in our families is?🤔

As Lyle Lovett said,

God does, but I don't
God will but I won't
And that's the difference between God and me

A rather disappointing event today but we got pizza and also there was a romance author who was selling crocheted (or knitted, I can't tell the difference) dicks at her table. 👀

Martin doesn't actually need the hat and veil, he just likes the way they look. #31DaysofMartin

I am thinking of eventually trying to put together one of those little novelty books. The Adventures of Martin: The Little Ghost Living His Best Afterlife.

After Oct maybe I will scan my pictures of Martin (plus the other pictures I have of him) and make a little book: The Adventures of Martin: The Little Ghost Who is Living His Best Afterlife. Of course I have to learn to format pictures, so it may be several years from now 😅

No hate to Canva, I've made my own covers in Canva but this one was ugly.

Watching a movie where one character is an 'international best-selling author' and she shows her husband the cover of her new book & it looks like a lazy vanity press made it in Canva 🤨

OK, but who is out there eating tablespoons of unpopped popcorn kernels?

The guy who renamed the Department of Defense to the Department of War didn't receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

Shocking.

Book fair fit. Second pic is neckline & jewelry. Too fancy or just right?

(don't worry, I'll have makeup on too to save people from being sucked into the black holes of my dark eye circles)

The guide had assured Martin that the volcano was extinct, but Martin soon learned otherwise. It was the scientific discovery of the year. #31DaysofMartin

That one is horrific. My favorite is the Skywatching one. Sorry/you're welcome?

Feral drama:

Vash tried to rub his face on Milly like Meryl does and she walked away and he almost fell over. Friendzoned.

Also he has started meowing at me and bro sounds like a damn squeaky toy.

Traffic was unusually slow, then I noticed a sign with a big flashing arrow so moved into the other lane along with everyone else.

Then the sign flashed the name of an event that starts on Saturday. It's meant to tell people where to turn 2 days from now, not indicating a blocked lane 🤦

I wish more men wore pink. If it's good enough for Vegeta it's good enough for puny humans.

Have you seen Local 58? It's my favorite analog horror channel.

Relative on FB: 'Donald Trump is making it illegal to vote without ID! Share if you agree!' .

Um, where exactly in this country can you waltz in, say a name and vote? I have voted in two states and have had to show my ID every single time. Sounds like a fake problem to me.

Since August I have lost 10 pounds (annoyingly, it turns out cutting down in sugar & carbs does help after all 🙄). Another 9 would be ideal, but I realize I am 46 & going into menopause and I do like cookies so I will be happy to hit 135.

Some chores you have to do even after you're dead. But Martin was so happy to find Lucky waiting for him that he doesn't mind at all. #31DaysofMartin

We have 12 bookcases in our house, all of them packed to the gills 😅 My whole family reads incessantly. Flooding & fire are our worst nightmares. But 3/4 of us also have e-readers.

Reviews are saying the new Tron movie has no Tron.

How do you make a movie, called Tron, with no Tron?

WHO IS GOING TO FIGHT FOR THE USER?!

My husband saw it as a kid and really loved it (though I am not sure he should have been watching it at age 9 🤨) so I plan to watch it eventually!
