"There comes a point where the striving feels thin and the soul goes hungry for something that looks more like a life. Everyone talks about midlife like it is a slope you start sliding down. But I do not feel like I am winding down. I feel like I am finally unwinding."

--Jessica Sowards
I have been waiting over a year for these seeds to be restocked, and finally I have them! They're my only hope at successfully growing full size "pumpkins" here due to the vine borers.

If I can defeat the groundhogs first, that is.

Not me telling the puppy "I'm not one of your little friends" when she tries to play rough with me like she does the cats 😂

Snow on the ground + full moon is a truly magical combination

Who dressed Pharrell... he looks incredible. #Grammys

Maybe I'm just really out of touch (never seen Wicked) but Lainey Wilson's reference for Jeff Goldblum being the Wizard of Oz had my jaw on the floor. How dare you reduce my daddy husband that way in public!!! #Grammys

I was never a Mardi Gras person (crowds, trash, plastic waste, nowhere to pee, often cold and standing still, etc.) but I always look forward to pictures of Krewe du Vieux. Every city in America should have its own Krewe du Vieux this year. Express your dissent and have a good time doing it.

Baby's first snowstorm. She likes it for a few minutes but then she wants to go right back inside under the warm blankets.

You can take the girl out of Louisiana, but you can't take Louisiana out of the girl.

Stayed up to watch the snow. 😊❄️

Attempting to watch the local news to see how the rest of the area is doing in the ice storm this morning. But good gravy I cannot watch a woman walk around a hotel parking lot talking emphatically about truck icicles for a second longer.

If there's no story that's fine but this is painful to watch

What a bunch of petty ass wipes.

At one point in the last few days we were forecasted to get 10+ inches of snow on Saturday and I was so excited. I should know better by now, those chances have completely evaporated.

Lisa Barlow is a grade A dirtbag and you can take that to the bank babe. #RHOSLC

And Andy is a wimp for letting the troll account thing slide without true discussion, she's basically Monica 2.0 but with no consequences for some reason??

"Feels like" temp of 6 °F with almost 20 mph winds at 6:15AM. Still pitch black outside. Puppy decides this is the perfect time to have backyard zoomies.

I do not know how people have human children.

I don't officially participate in the January pantry challenge but I have been worried about freeing up freezer space for spring. I've picked up less shifts because of the new puppy, so I have time to get creative and use up last year's garden abundance and my salvage grocery finds.

Nuggets >> romance. If I was Cathy I would never let Nathan or Joe know peace ever again. #BelowDeckMed
