Christmas octopus with vintage yarn I found at Savers this past year. Supposedly the beads change color in the sun but I suspect they were on clearance at Michael's because they don't do that. 😅

We love Movie Squirrels on YouTube, especially the holiday sets. I want to have a bird/squirrel channel so bad.

On the topic of people who say that a colonoscopy is the best nap of your life: y'all need to learn how to relax. This is a normal Monday afternoon here. We don't need anesthesia. 😅

Some day I will be fabulously wealthy and will be able to buy all the pieces of my china set I'm missing. ANYTHING from our china pattern is the ultimate unicorn of thrifting.

The Anselm Kiefer exhibit at the St Louis Art Museum right now is the opportunity of a lifetime, designed specifically for this space, and it's FREE. It's worth making a trip here for this.

Baby squirrels have been driving the cats crazy this week. This one was using a flowerpot like a sandbox this morning, doing flips between digging.
We've learned that if the squirrels have nuts in the front yard, they stay out of the back gardens

Having one of those days where I don't want exactly what someone else has, but I want something that makes them wish they had what I have. It's cool, I'm often motivated by spite. #petty

Never let one event determine if your ideas are smart or dumb or overpriced. There are some events where I sell out of these goofy worms and sell zero rocks. Today it was all rocks and no worms. 🤷🏻♀️

Giving new life to old ornaments! @whatahellofawaytodad.com will be at Affton High School craft fair on Saturday, for you STL peeps. I'm thinking about organizing an ornament trade in, where turning in so many scratched up ornaments gets you one of these. This year is all about the barter.

The book version of Mary Poppins is far superior, and this is one of my favorite lines, in response to Mrs Banks asking if she can manage the errands with a broken pram. The audiobook narrator absolutely nails it and made me laugh out loud. 📚💙

Ron Swanson in a dog suit. She's been around too long to rehome but I still fantasize about it every day. 😅
I tossed her outside 10 min ago because she stood on the desk to scream at a passing dog and she literally hasn't shut up for 1 second since.

Did you know Disney's Wilderness Lodge has an 82' fireplace? It's designed to mimic the Grand Canyon, and each floor has a little shadow box about the fossils of that level's era. It's also a nod to Mary Colter, designer of Bright Angel Lodge.

Sassafras is very happy the dance weekend is over and we are back to sitting in bed until 8:30. He's not usually one for biscuit making but made many biscuits this morning.

The past two months have shown what I have known for years: Disney Cruise Line is a superior vacation to the theme parks, especially for extended family trips, or my favorite, meeting up with friends who live in another city.
