Will find out tomorrow whether or not I'm working on Halloween, though I likely will be. Might revive this outfit for the night.

🎶 Where are yaoww... And I'm so sooorray...🎶
A man with a black wig, wearing a black Led Zeppelin "United States of America 1977" t-shirt, dark jeans, and black sneakers stands in what appears to be a commercial kitchen. He has a tattooed left arm and is wearing spiked bracelets on both wrists and a chain connected to his jeans.

Post you from different era
A man with short blond hair is smiling and looking at the camera. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a colorful, stylized graphic on the front. The graphic features a road, a black and white cartoon cat, and a UFO in the sky. In the background, another person is partially visible, sitting in front of a computer screen with a glowing green interface. To the right, a rack of CDs is visible.

What's your sign?
This image features a humorous take on the "before coffee/after coffee" theme: The "BEFORE COFFEE" side shows a grumpy, unimpressed face, while the "AFTER COFFEE" side depicts the same unimpressed face, but now holding a steaming cup of coffee.

Thought about you when taking this photo:
An office setup in Tiana's Bayou Adventure with a typewriter and lamp on the back desk and a newspaper on a table in the foreground. The framed "Tiana's Place" illustration from the film hangs on a post on the background.

It was great! I went through the parks app and made this spreadsheet that I then used to make the maps. They helped us make sure we got in what we really wanted to but left the day open to still be relaxed and spontaneous. I'm really glad we had them with us—it was all such a fun time!
This image presents a detailed, categorized guide to attractions, entertainment, and dining options within the four main Walt Disney World theme parks: Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom. Each entry is assigned a priority level: "1-Must Do," "2-Would Like to Do," or "3-Fun, but Not Nec."

Last day of our anniversary trip...
This image features two men smiling at the camera in what appears to be a lush, tropical setting with greenery and rocks visible in the background, suggesting a natural environment like a rainforest or botanical garden.

Spent some time over the last few weeks preparing for vacation by editing the Disney park maps with only the things we actually want to do

'The Book of Lost Hours' by Hayley Gelfuso

Need to make some progress on this before my library loan expires!

I found this baking mold that was just the right size for 1-cup servings that are easy to heat up in a bowl or mug.

First time freezing single servings of soup was a success!

I have a habit of making "family sized" recipes for just the two of us and then getting tired of it by the time we finally finish it off. Now we can just grab one of these and pop it in the microwave whenever we want!
Six cylindrical servings of soup sit in a plastic bag on a speckled kitchen counter.

It's that time of year again!
Classic jam sandwich/window cookies, but in the shape of a hand, so the red jam is in a hole in the middle of the palm, with the caption: EASTER COOKIES NAILED IT

A movie from the year you turned 18.
Movie poster for The Shawshank Redemption. A man stands on the rain facing 3/4 away from the viewer, arms stretched out to his sides and face toward the sky. Light shines down from above and behind the figure, casting most of him in shadow. The tagline reads: "Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."

Hate it when tiny LEGO tiles get stuck in the underside larger bricks... Fortunately, I have a tool for that.
