Missed opportunity to include “Home Alone” as a synonym ☹️

Yay! But also just a smidge of “Awwww Man” over the missed opportunity to note “Home Alone” as a synonym.

Yup, husband has been basically spending his afternoon in a very weird, surreal movie set, working the ops center and also working a slide deck/emergency declaration to go to the feds.

Joel keeps texting me from work (Washington State EMD) and it’s hoppin’ right now 👀

I mean given the weather outside right now…

And humans… we’re silly creatures who love a funny story.

Just now he was standing and put his hands on his hips just *so*
Also reminded me of the pose, but took a second to figure out *why*

And that’s when he reminded me he’d won contest etc.

I’m just marveling that a commercial from what… 8(ish) years ago? Is that deeply embedded.
Brains are weird

But yeah, when he’s doing wound care he’d pop his left leg up so he could prop up *my leg* & my brain would just be spitting things like “I know that stance!”
Granted, I was high on painkillers, but hey, it was telling me shit! It made me happy!

One funny thing, my very not online partner has won at least one of those contests- usually while traveling and hitting a bar to play pool.

It took me 2 weeks, but I finally placed the pose! It was that goofy CPT Morgan (have a little CPT in you) commercial series that spurred all those weird CPT Morgan contests lol

This makes me sad the GooGoo Dolls weren’t singing sea shanties the year I saw them

Hola, Friend 🫶

I heard a very wise elder state that nostalgia is our body/brain reminding us of a time when we felt happy & safe! People should totally be allowed to remember what it’s like to feel safe & happy- that combination seems to be sadly/dangerously absent these days.

Yes!!

Why did my brain immediately imagine the Cardinal behind him sing *it’s even worse for mouses* 😂

I tend to let them go a little longer h tbh an recommended because that almost crunch outside with the mashed potato inside is 🤩
