Happy 8th birthday to my best pal Dot 💛 so much to say about how this little doggo has changed my life. We love you so much you spunky, crazy little velcro girlie ✨🥎🐾

The weekend:

So we're going to ban ALL gender-affirming care for service members, right? That 42 million savings would be significant in improving government efficiency!

A beautiful weekend of skiing, followed by returning home to a plumbing leak coming through the basement subfloor and a broken clothes dryer...and Ryan's car still in the shop 🫠

You win some, you lose some. Grateful to be in a privileged place that these are inconveniences, not disasters.

I can't believe it's been 10 years of listening to this podcast...I've heard almost every episode and am grateful for Gretchen and Elizabeth's style and banter. Congratulations to these two on a decade of podcasting positivity out into the world!

Everything felt hard this week except when I was able to move my body/be outside (preferably both)...

Normally I'd do a cute Valentine's post on Instagram but instead I will shout from the rooftops to my 5 Bluesky followers: Ryan is my Valentine and he's awesome!

First ski weekend since 2023 🥹 and with my best friend too. Dang!

Bluesky keeps showing me SO MUCH CAT CONTENT (I'm not a huge cat person)... tbh, though...this is comforting as I'm pretty sick of being fed scary-accurate ads and content on other platforms. So. Good work Bluesky. Meow!

"This is my prediction for this administration: It will churn out a steady stream of stupid policies. When the consequences of those policies begin to hit his approval rating, he will flip-flop, diminish or abandon [them]. He loves popularity more than any idea."

Furrr-rocious dog dreams. (But she actually might be "smiling" because that's what she does...I've never seen her snarl while awake 😂)

First post is, naturally, a photo of Dot 💛
