We love Mad Libs! 10yo has a sleepover we picked up before her party this summer, and I gave her the Olivia Rodrigo version for Christmas. Super fun and silly, and a nice escape. :)

Prior authorization is such a damn racket, I swear.

I figure that if my healthcare provider - WHO KNOWS ME AND KNOWS MY MEDICAL HISTORY AND NEEDS - decides that I need something, that’s where it should stop, in terms of insurance companies being nosy weirdos who are totally uninformed.

I close my eyes through like half of The Pitt bc I am a huge baby, but that still bothers me way less than those GR shows.

Her face!! 🥰

I wonder if it’s bc you know it’s SFX makeup, etc.

My husband, 10yo, and I like to watch Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and Secret Service, but we can’t watch those when eating bc that’s actual, real horrific kitchen conditions. 🤢

You have not, and your posts keep a lot of us (myself included for sure!) going and focusing on the things we can control and things we can make better - spreading love and kindness and supporting our communities. 💜

Ahh - I thought that might be the case but wasn’t 100% sure.

Hey @bourbonplanner.bsky.social!

Thank you for sharing this bit of calm, and I think this is a time when having an #UglyDogs compound somewhere would be perfect. Scritches, coffee, and kindness aplenty, and I think that’s what we all need right now. 💜

Baby ducks and a bonus Capybara

Yay!! That’s awesome to hear, and it’s definitely such an important good relationship to have.

Oh, heck yeah, Dr. K!!

Maybe we shouldn’t tell him, but I bet he would’ve gotten the treat without asking 🤭

And you just know she’s like, I’m Queen Pepé, so obviously I can do things others can’t, but we all work as a team and everyone trusts me to lead the way! 👑

Q, I have no doubt that no matter her age, no two- nor four-legged subjects of the Queen can keep up w/ her, but no one really minds! 💜
