Baseball fan. Spends too much time discussing how to fix the Colorado Rockies. Loves cats. Grows tomatoes successfully at altitude. Collects way too many things. Posts about all that and random thoughts, but mostly likes and replies to other posts.

As others have said: Don't.

Given that it's probably way too late for that, here's some of the stuff that I've seen work on such occasions: 1/17
Okay folks, my husband and I are hosting our first ever family Thanksgiving dinner this year. Any advice?

I've been sick. How sick? I've been binge watching 10+ year old Antiques Roadshow episodes.

Latest cross stitch piece finished. I didn't realize this pattern had as much confetti as it does (that's completely on me), so while I like how it turned out, I really was more in the mood for something more straightforward. 1/2

I need to cross stitch this.
If you’re not suffering, it’s not baseball.

I think I've had enough of baseball for a long, long time.

I made a cross stitch pattern from this artist's work (with the artist's express permission). I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, especially since this was my very first time creating a pattern from scratch! #crossstitch

The Rockies did indeed start the way they intended to go on.

Thank heavens that's over.

I am a Rockies fan.

They are not being no hit.

They are not being shut out.

Everything else is gravy.

As the Rockies' season winds down, I'm finding I'm not feeling the usual wistful sadness, just an overwhelming sense of relief that it will be over soon.

When this SAL started, we were still talking about relocating sometime next year and just idly looking at houses. 1/

Everything through Feat 13 done! I didn't think I'd be able to catch up given all the chaos going on in my Real Life, but cross stitching has been one of the things keeping me sane.

Feat 12 of #ExtraordinaryBirdsSAL by @lolacrow.bsky.social . I think this is my favorite Feat so far! Before the backstitching, the black xs of the hanging parrots' eyes made them look like Monty Python's ex-parrots 😄.

#ExtraordinaryBirdsSAL by @lolacrow.bsky.social Feat 10. Or part of it. I don't feel like moving the hoop and part of Feat 11 is already in the hoop.

The #Rockies did not give up any runs to the Dbacks in the top of the third.

Baby steps.

It's amazingly stupid how a #Rockies win can make a trying day better.
