Living with Violet is like one continuous session of the chicken-fox-grain riddle. What can I leave in the room with her that won’t end up in her mouth?

I’ve fallen so behind on my 30 Days of Tako posts!! I’m failing my little pug guy. Yesterday was his 12th birthday. This weekend I’m getting him a cake from Woof! Woof! Pet Boutique because he has become accustomed to a certain level of lifestyle. Lucky buddy.

That feeling when the rideshare app AI decided you only needed an hour to get to Logan. And thus you’ve trauma bonded with your driver, the check-in desk personnel, TSA, and the airport bartender—who pours a strong, spicy margarita.

That moment when the dog brings you their toy, so you take and toss it for them… and they give you the most betrayed look. And now they’re sulking in a corner of the couch and won’t even look at you or the toy. And you realize you are a monster.

September is the month of Tako in my house. Prepare thyself for daily Tako pictures for the next 30 days.

I woke up from an accidental nap, angry & calling myself lazy. And my brain said “Listen, you little sh*t. I wrote a full chapter, created an epub, designed a website banner + three different social media assets, and took Violet on a 45-min walk. I SLEEP WHEN I WANT.” Touché, brain. Touché.

On this episode of Dog Problems, Violet ate an entire stick of butter. #dogs

TGI this stormy Friday! All I want to do is curl up in my Snuggie with a comfort book I’ve read at least 10 times.

Tonight I vastly underestimated Providence’s interest in Clue and arrived only 45m early for Movies on the Block. Upon witnessing someone try to set up a camping chair in a raised planter bed, we aborted mission and got Korean food. Sott is delicious by the way.

That moment when someone overhears the chipmunk voices of your double-speed audiobook.
