Oooooh, thank you for this magnificent Partner Annoyance Fodder. (It’s my love language, lol)

#pizzaparty, good times…having fun!

(Also, concert weekend was absolutely marvelous: sold out shows, standing ovations, everyone sounded magnificent. So much joy! My heart is full, and my feet are tired.)

(Oh, and I have a little solo and a stunning duet in the Ceremony of Carols. Stay after and say hi! I’m the bald soprano, I’m hard to miss. 😅)

Can confirm, the tea is FANTASTIC. (Also haven’t read the book, but it’s on the list.)

It’s like you have a view directly into my kitchen/brain. 😅 We will be just fine.

Yup, a good time for me to go prep the turkey.

YES! And just in time to fuel my pre-Thanksgiving cleaning spree. Gossamer is getting the job done. 👍

And you’d best believe I immediately dumped it out in the middle of the living room and organized my loot, just like I used to do with my Halloween candy.

Aaaaa, lucky! Mine has been stuck at the processing center for over a week. 😭

Yup, this is an Asian lady beetle and it’s more likely to bite than our native ladybugs. But it’s unlikely to hurt beyond a small pinch, and maybe a little irritation.
