Regular ol’ middle-aged Midwestern mom: Vegetarian. Heart attack survivor. I was dead-ish for about five minutes. Tongue-tied. No middle name. Ate fire once. She/her.

That about covers it.
For sale: Mannequin hand. Never used.

Palate cleanser: My kid insisted on showing his college-age swim instructors his LEGO minifig costume. (Not pictured: Him waving to everyone he saw on the walk to and from class—a one child Halloween parade.)

I own a different version of this one, a port-a-potty play set that includes a construction worker with his own newspaper to read while he relieves himself.

I love Playmobil’s extremely specific characters and designs. Like, a firefighter performing a snake rescue—sure, why not!

I used to rent this from our neighborhood video store. The trivia questions got real repetitive, real quick.

My husband sets all of these alarms every weekday. Help.

Channeled my middle-aged Midwestern mom-hood today by pulling out a classic potluck dessert: The fruit pizza. The toppings on this bad boy included sliced golden mango from Mexico.

Mine didn’t dematerialize, but they came dang close to it.

Golly, Kim Deal is good. Caught her on the second night of her tour of the U.S. and Europe. I have loved her music since first discovering the Breeders as a teen, and her new songs—from her first-ever solo album—are beautiful and timely. 😍

I am, like, a really good mom.

(please help)

Me cramming more glasses and plates and mugs and bowls and silverware and serving utensils and cutting boards and storage containers into the dishwasher.

I’ve gotta admit, I’m a little angry at, like, everyone right now. Why didn’t anyone tell me about Human Vs. Hamster? I had to discover it on my own while serving as a TV technician for my mom. ☹️

Relatedly, K is trying to convince me *not* to bring this to the family meal. No fun.

I made a Krampus! There are definitely things I’d do differently next time—turns out that foam air clay is sorta like magma and keeps flowing for quite a while, even when it seems to be almost dry—but on the whole, I feel pretty good about it. #krampus #craft #holidaystressrelief

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

I’m compelled to share these two shows that were aired after SNL when I was a kid in the early 90s: Grudge Match and Rollergames.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

While Kenan was getting his start on SNL, Kel was busy with this.

Search “concert” and post the oldest pic in your camera roll.

“Spammy,” Waikiki, April 30, 2016.

(I hope video is acceptable; I couldn’t *not* use it.)

I like Guided By Voices as much as the next gal (more, even, I’d suppose), but even I struggle when my husband starts telling me excitedly about “Eggs, Mother?” by Cub Scout Bowling Pins (aka GBV).

This is Jojo, my neighbors’ improbably large, extremely *plush* cat. He doesn’t get much outside time (which is probably best for the wildlife) so seeing him this morning on my return from a frantic elementary school drop off was a real nice surprise.
