If you ever have to replace your Christmas tree stand, I highly recommend getting a rotating one. It makes decorating the tree sooooo much easier.

My favorite part of Two Towers is when the burning ent runs into the water after they break the dam.
Yes, it beats out the Sam and Frodo part at the end.

I wonder how differently LotR would’ve turned out if Middle Earth had therapists. Like would Faramir have gotten over that his dad hates him? Would Denethor have been normal? Would Grima not be so gross?

Mad respect to past me for taking the time to label each light string with how many lights are in it and also separate them by tree.

Okay so it’s not that I *dislike* Two Towers, but it is by far the weakest of the movies. Would it be cheating to just skip to the end so I get the scene with Sam and Frodo?
I’m not actually going to do that, but Frodo is tempting me.

Okay I did end up reading it. This was a lot of words to say, “Carter got complacent.” I ended up ranking him first because I care about bike infrastructure, but Kaohly deserved the win.
"The St. Paul DFL did not hold endorsing caucuses, so there were no spring conventions to organize for."
why doesn't the star tribune know there is no st paul DFL to even hold caucuses and conventions? they don't exist!

How Melvin Carter lost the St. Paul mayoral election
The two-term mayor started too late and had too weak of a ground game. Kaohly Her capitalized.

Small biz Saturday request: I need a bunch of felt and fun fabric for this project. What’s a good non-Michael’s and definitely not Hobby Lobby place where I can get those things?
Finished prototype + cat for scale. Almost ready to move back to fun fabric. Might try an invisible zipper instead of hand sewing the last side.
Tips for anyone who wants to try this: the smaller the seam allowance, the better. Clip your corners. Iron seam allowance to one side instead of flat.
