This is so much shiner irl
A black iron wreath with a wrapped acanthus vine which Birdie has drawn upon with metallic markers. Some are gold, some silver, some rose gold. The effect is that of a mausoleum decoration

Sitting in my kitchen in my ugliest sweater, which also is soft, warm, and exactly the same color as the Grinch
V. Chubby Birdie in her kitchen. She has brunette hair to her shoulders because she just chopped it off, and bright green cat-eye glasses. Her sweater is a lurid lime green that shouldn't be allowed in a sweater of this size, but it's very comfortable. She is making a concerned face.

Y'all.
Do you think
Trixie might be
Maybe slightly jealous?

Andre loves the love
But might be in danger
A brown pitbull looking back for more pets, while a cat, Trixie, looks on like a Very Angry Gargoyle because the Monstrosity is Touching Her Person.

Before I put away my cauldron, I made Godzilla a hat for the split part of the year

I love these Chrome paint pens so much, btw

Am feeling a smidgen sad I can't show this to my best friend but I will show them when they're back
Hot glue on a small black felt witch hat Cold hot glue on said witch hat, but now picked out with paint pen in silver chrome, so it looks like melted metal in a spiderweb Said pattern a little closer to show the cool shiny silver paint

Meme of two fancy pigeons who are white with ridiculous feathers around their necks, looking like a fur ruff, which reads, "These birds are richer than me"

YOU BETTER NOT CRY
YOU BETTER NOT POUT
I'M TELLING YOU WHY...🎶🎶🎶❄️❄️❄️
A nearly two foot tall Godzilla figure (from Godzilla v Kong if it matters to you) with pink detail scaling all along his back. He is sitting in the pass through between Birdie's kitchen and living room. On three of his large spikes sit said tiny Santa hats from the previous pictures. He's all dressed up and about to stomp a village and it makes him VERY happy. Just wait until I get the village out of storage, you'll see.

"What's Birdie up to?"

A table with scissors, red felt, and a red felt cone of about two inches in height Two ridiculously cute completed red felt cone Santa style hats, with white curled trim and poufs on the top and tiny holly berries. I should have gotten out the TINY SCISSORS for precision, but y'all, I really was kind of going for the "1980's schoolroom aesthetic," when we didn't have fancy supplies and made cute stuff with what we have. This is felt but it COULD be construction paper.

The dog thinks he's hiding from me. Because he's brown and on brown. He's not hiding. But he will continue to think he is because I'm too tired to go drag him inside, at this exact second, while in my pajamas.
A pine forest with a small front yard in the foreground. There is a rather old red car at the street. On the other side of the street is a bunch of pine straw and a dog that thinks he's being EXCEPTIONALLY SNEAKY, but isn't, even though he's the exact same color as pine straw.

Meme from Stu Royall which reads, "Men will literally name all the birds instead of going to therapy," and includes pictures of Boobies, Swallow, Penduline Tits, and European Shag, all birds clearly named by guys not getting off enough. 🤷‍♀️

Sight reading the easiest children's song for a baptism on Saturday w my sisters
Incredibly simple but still sufficiently nice mainstream Mormon children's hymn, "I will walk with Jesus"

Ah, memories. When he was not quite thirteen, kiddo would still go to his father's sometimes and then come in as a whirling thing of noise and silliness:
Post from 3 yrs ago which reads: Youngest walked in ten minutes ago. So far, he: Ate. Yelled. Accidentally whomped his hand on the table leg (metal) Defiantly laughed at the trombone sound this made Purposefully made this sound happen 3 more times, using hand (He does not understand pain receptors)... Continued from prior: Riled the dog up in a happy frenzy Drop kicked a Nerf gun across the kitchen Yelled in delight Apologized for saying "Dummy" sarcastically Declared me, instead, the female version of Odin Said he's already showered Got on the computer to make up an assignment Got distracted ... This kid is like having a pet tornado, and I adore him so much.

#poetry time? Good morning!
When it happened and I didn't die, at least not, with any permanence, I faced my own confused future with a grin, each year becoming a trophy to set upon shelving and dust, it being award for exceeding expectations- that thing at nineteen I thought perhaps could not, at twenty five considered impossible, at thirty two knew would be cut short. It is an odd thing, to trespass upon your own grave, sit down within it, kick your legs at the edge, measure a bit- have I grown since last Death and I had our ongoing danced coy flirtation? We lie down together, we two, caress each other's limbs, become acquainted with one another's sallow cheekbones. We are friends, beloved, and yet I refuse their advances, daily, prolong the anticipation of our eternity embrace. I have so many words piled upon one another, plied upon digital notebooks, struggling to be birthed into a world of lies and trauma, each poem a gift of relentless doomed optimism, that they alone can tightrope the chasm between myself and my future captor.

This is 100% Trixie 's most Wonderful Time of the Year. ❄️❄️❄️⛄⛄❄️❄️❄️
A Walmart box, which held a wreath, but which now holds a grey diffuse tortie cat. She's an adult, but is petite, with short hair and a long whip of a tail. She is scratching the box, and her tail is excitedly held aloft like a flag. The box is half in a Sunbeam, making it the Best Box Ever.

It gets better!
But wait! The disco ball wreath has...bats? Sparkly disco bats. Might have to make a polymer clay snail to go with the wreath.

Me: young sir. Whose bed is that?

Andre, who knows full well:
Portrait in semi-darkness of a toasty brown pitbull who is keeping Middle kid's bed warm for him while he's at work. Such kindness. The dog's ears are to the side, because he knows he's not technically supposed to be up there, but also there is a perfectly nice fleece blanket.

Not stew but stew adjacent
A bowl of a stew like soup which includes tiny potatoes (red, yellow, and purple), hamburger, carrot slices, cannelloni beans, stewed tomatoes and a bunch of stew spices (including rosemary). I topped mine with a small amount of butter and it's rather good

Me: leaves house at 10 to pick up kid

Me: returns 45m later to some sort of potato massacre in the kitchen?
Nothing to see here, only a bag of baby potatoes strewn across the floor of my dark kitchen. ???!

May your day be as good as the one Andre is having.
A brown Staffordshire bully with big pointy ears sits in the grass and closes his eyes. He looks happy to face the sunshine. Behind him is a large amount of pine straw all over the street.
