Maybe we should put a wooden stake through 2025 just to be sure.

Ten hour drive, zero regrets. She's perfect.

This morning my husband rolled over and asked what I wanted for Christmas. I said a puppy and 8 acres.

It seems that on Sunday I'm driving back to NOLA to get the puppy. 🤞🏻

Maybe 8 acres in 2026??

I won't miss the dark and low sun in spring. But I'll miss these wild winter sunsets.

How does a "energetic financial life coach" content creator end up on #RHOBH? I hope these women eat this dingbat scam artist alive.

Do better, Andy.

Pumpkin and ricotta lasagna. Still working through the North Georgia Candy Roaster puree. Haven't even processed the stack of Black Futsu yet, and plenty of butternut hanging out as well.

I really picked a doozy for my first from-scratch cake. 🫠

Had yet another bizarre Gen Z stare interaction today at the grocery store and y'all can't convince me it's not a real thing

Dinner from the garden (and the coast)... Carolina shrimp with homegrown cilantro sauce, homegrown potatoes, carrots harvested this morning.

12° in the forecast. Need to get the carrots in and kiss everything else goodbye. Incredible that I still have parsley, cilantro, lettuce, brassicas out.

Just found a bunch of holes in my very favorite quality wool sweater, I think I'm going to have to start laundering things like an adult 😭

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

I have declined participation in two Secret Santas in the last two days and I encourage all of you to do the same. The last thing anyone needs is consumption for the sake of consumption, a gift you did not ask for purchased for you by someone who probably barely knows you.

It should be illegal for elderly parents to text you "are you at work right now?" without prefacing with "everything is fine!" 🫠🤦🏻‍♀️

Okay okay the coffee snobs were right... freshly ground is better. Ugh.

Everyone on my skyline is older than ICE. We lived a life without them and nothing has improved with their existence: housing is not cheaper, healthcare is not more accessible, and we are not more secure. Abolish ICE and it is your moral duty to oppose them kidnapping and trafficking people.

My new year's resolution is "stop picking up shifts and working too much" and I'll probably stick to it as well as I did last year (not at all)

On my sixth winter in the mountains and I think I'm finally mastering this winter clothing thing. Unfortunately the saying "there's no bad weather, just bad clothing" is true.
