Obligatory #ACES2025 selfie! I'm so excited to see all my edibuddies and meet new ones. The conference hasn't even technically started, but I've been having too much fun already. 💕

After long days of editing, I've been finding a lot of joy in doing non-word-related hobbies like cross-stitching, embroidery, jigsaw puzzles, and paint-by-numbers.

I just finished my second-ever embroidery piece, this little dog paw, which will be a gift to our dog trainer. 🐾
