Happy Halloween from me and Ryan. One of these days I’m going to get him a Deadpool costume.

Me, a middle-aged white lady wearing a hot pink leotard, short black shorts, hot pink leg warmers, wrist bands, headband & fanny pack, rainbow sparkle sneakers, a curly red wig and 80s-inspired pink makeup, holding dumbbells and a VHS made to look like a copy of “Richard Simmons Sweat & Shout”. A cardboard cutout of Ryan Reynolds happens to be looking on in the background but that’s unrelated.

I’ve considered getting a UK one and plugging it in to the outlet by my dryer. I have a US voltage one (actually 2 we also have one we keep at my mom’s) but only purchased after multiple trips to Europe where my husband became obsessed with their instant coffee (also superior to US versions).

Perhaps the license plate is from Colorado because it’s closer to there than most of the population centers of Texas.

Got to snuggle some puppies at my conference this week. Helps why I have to spend 4 days away from my own. #TTT

Me sitting on a fake grass mat holding two adorable puppies. They may have been boxer-lab mixes of some sort, no one seemed to know. There is an ivory colored one on my lap and a slightly darker tan one climbing on top of it biting its neck.

a man says you and me both in front of a poster

Aldi is also really affordable if you have access to one. There’s a lady who does videos with a super tight budget and buys it mostly at Aldi, her tips seem useful:

I’m still mad about all the times the Patriots were caught cheating with barely any repercussions even though they have since been terrible and now I just have to hate Tom Brady as a commentator.

One of my pipe dreams is to take a six-month sabbatical and go live in Paris just eating pastries and wandering

I can’t sleep and was just thinking I’d come on here and only find European’s posting this time of day/night

In Orlando for a conference. My hotel room supposedly has a “Florida view”. Behold the beauty of the Sunshine State!

The view from my hotel window. It’s of a parking garage. Technically in Florida so I guess we can’t call it false advertising.

Trader Joe’s (and other places surely) sells little pre-made frozen cubes of both. I keep them handy for lazy days.

Ours flickered but came back thank goodness. I have to pack for a trip tomorrow and that’d be hard in the dark. Hope your outage isn’t long!

Reminds me of my high school graduation where someone threw a giant inflatable penis onto the field where the processional was and the assistant principal was straddling it and stabbing at it repeatedly with a pair of scissors trying to deflate it.

Funny how the only hate I saw at the so-called “Hate America Rally” was from Trump supporters flipping us off. 🤔 #nokings

Selfie of me and a frog - he has a sign that says pro-America anti Trump with an American flag. My shirt is not fully in frame but it says “equality hurts no one” in rainbow flag lettering because I don’t own anything in the requested yellow so I chose a light green pride shirt instead

Reposing to show @jakelupardus.bsky.social my spice rack is small by comparison and has not yet taken the door off its hinges! (Also Mr. Bree’s collection is a thing of beauty)

Bree @mostlybree.kitrocha.com · 17d

It is my sad duty to tell fans of the Spice Rack of Doom that it is now pulling the *three inch deck screws* out of the wall because it is so heavy and putting so much weight on the door that the door has given up. 🤣

I have told Mr. Bree that we will be moving to individual wall mounted racks.

Bree @mostlybree.kitrocha.com · Jun 20

I have been in Mr. Bree's spice collection again. For those who didn't get to experience the thrills of #PaprikaGate live, here is an update on the state of the spice "rack"

Was searching for mentions of this one since it's by me & found this...it shows me the address without signing up, not sure how? Same place as before, 1960/290. My hesitancy is because last time they bragged about working w/local cops who felt it necessary to bring like 8+ cars & a helicopter.

It was a two Cybertruck drive to work this morning, and I just kept saying "Women don't like the vehicle" to myself. Also instructive when they put a company logo on it, so I know never to do business with that organization (not that I'll ever need to know or care what the hell Truong Capital is)

I am grateful I don't live that close to Kuykendahl as I am still irrationally angry about how they pronounce Telge here and I drive on it nearly every day
