Hi. I love my cat.
I can’t possibly go anywhere today, I have to cuddle my cat against her will. She’s appalled, by the way. But she’s also a soft, fluffy cloud. So that’s just how it is.

(She showed her annoyance with a single meow so lengthy that she had to pause twice to breathe.)

I have a BA in Journalism (PR), but I’m not a working journalist. If I were, however, I’d be downright offended to not be an all-star on this list. www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/?f...

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving and all that (Dad made a delicious turkey!) but please know that my mom made me a surprise early cake and then my family sang ‘Happy Birthday’ while (accidentally, very traumatizing) sparkler candles flashed in front of me.

Willingly went to the gym on Thanksgiving and used my insufferable wardrobe as motivation. Set a new biking time record for myself.

I earned my dinner tonight! Thank you, Mounjaro.

One of the genuine delights of taking a GLP-1 on Thanksgiving is getting to enjoy a variety of food without overdoing it on volume. Mounjaro helps me slow down, taste every bite, be more aware of the amount of food I’m eating, and, most importantly, ensures I know when I’m full.

Make your green bean casserole with cream of chicken, not mushroom. Air-fry the crispy onions separately right before serving. Thank me later.

While I was running errands tonight, I noticed I was following a car without lights on. So I flashed mine. They then turned theirs on!!!!!

That has never happened before. I have never felt so seen in my entire 41 years. I’ll be on this high for the rest of the week.

Poor Gavin Newsom. He’s done so much and yet suddenly Mark Kelly is the leading presidential candidate for the Democratic party. He’s also much easier to unify around: astronaut, combat vet, faithful husband, very well-liked. Good job, Trump!

Glasses saga update: headed into Costco for try #9 (#3 for them). They actually did my left eye correctly, but not my right 🫠

Thrifting fun from this weekend.

It’s time to defrost your turkey. Don’t forget about your marinating drawer! Follow me for more cooking tips.

I’ve been overweight or obese most of my life. I’ve had people mock me for it, both to my face and online. So that doesn’t bother me. But you know what really, really bugs me? The fact that no other journalist in the room called out President Trash for saying that to a woman just doing her job.

I think I’m the only person who missed the Northern Lights in Colorado last night. But I was out exercising instead and found Prada shoes for $8 in my (new) shoe size, so I’m going to be OK. 😅

So I started Mounjaro in October 2022. I weighed 297 pounds at my highest and my A1C was 7.3. This morning, I weighed in at 146 pounds and my A1C was 4.9. I’ve been on this a while and I’ve learned some things. This is what I wish I knew when I first started.

My new friend Kurt Geiger (an $11 thrift find) joined my insufferable yet motivational gym wardrobe tonight. All workout shoes should have crystal flowers, obviously.

A story of hypocrisy in four parts.

I asked her if she wanted help getting down from there and this is the look she gave me.

Instagram vs Reality

She’s a sassy supermodel. Still the fairest of them all.

Youma and Kumori. Two old shows in transition, trying to do right with some new folks in charge, but lots of baggage to... unpack? overcome.

I wish them nothing but the best this weekend and so should you.❤

I had my left knee replaced December 2024 and manipulated this past February. It has not been an easy recovery. Harder than anyone expected, actually. A perfect knee is -10 (straight) and 140 (bent). My surgical team was pleased when they got me to +4 and 120ish.
