This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

TransUnion tells me the cure for its data breach is subscribing to its Credit Monitoring Service. Then, it'll send me another message when it has the next breach...and the next one...

And if my identity is stolen due to its security failure? Not its problem.

Meet Princess Buttercup. She’s a perfect little lady, except she’s got horrible allergies … to human dander.

That’s right. My cuddly kitty is allergic to people.

I should be out protesting something. Instead, I’m contemplating my next quilt.

Here’s another dimensional baby quilt based on a Kristin Royston design. The butterflies’ wings are ruffled pockets!

Baby quilt for my newest nephew. The top fins are ruffles and the lower fins and tails are flaps for little hands to explore.

Who else is deep into Dungeon Crawler Carl on Audible? For once, I don’t even want to buy the books because the audio performance is so freaking good. I’m on the 4th book now, and still loving everything about Carl and Princess Donut.

"Hey, are you a Christian female who appears to have it all together...?"

No, and stop using the word "female" as a noun.

I’m starting the new year by taking a deep dive into the rampant and violent suppression of religious liberty and expression in 1600s Massachusetts.

Yes, I do this for fun.

I’m getting old and #WindAndTruth challenged the strength of my heart. The Final Sanderlanche lasted every minute of the last two days.

Note to self: live long enough to see #StormlightArchive finished.

(Brandon needs to get to writing books 6-10, like, stat.)

What are the most important words a person can say?

So far - and this wild ride isn’t over yet - I vote for those in Chapter 99 of #WindAndTruth:

“I cannot take your pain, but I can help you carry it.”

Chapter 66 of #WindAndTruth.

No spoilers, but I was sobbing as I drove down a city street listening in my car.

SOBBING.

I’ve only finished Chapter 1 and I’ve already been hit hard emotionally twice.

Am I strong enough to read this storming story? (No, I’ve not read any of the pre-released chapters. I’ve saved them all for a marathon session.)

My weekend is fully booked: 30 pages down, 1299 to go.

If they find the guy who killed the CEO of United Healthcare, I can’t help but think that certain unusual legal principles might come into play.
