I’m gobsmacked. Last year I got some stickers from Joann to put on Christmas cards for my coworkers. They were Christmas characters in all colors. Imagine my embarrassment when a friend pointed out that while she appreciated Black Santa on her Christmas card, he had white hands. Well I picked up my Joann order with this year’s sticker book, thinking “surely enough people would have complained that they would not make that same mistake twice.”

Surely it wouldn’t happen again… 😳

This is the mistletoe our 6yo made so she could demand mistletoe kisses of and from everyone. Mom, dad, stuffed animals, parakeets… only the fish are exempt. 🥹

I’ve been made to kiss Green Beans (teddy bear🧸) and Spaghetti (Stuffed Owl🦉) more times than I can count.

From my family to all those who also celebrate:

May this day be filled with brightness, happiness, and togetherness for you and your loved ones! Happy Diwali!

My humble contribution:

What are these called? Do they have an actual name?

My six year old has developed her own written and spoken language.

I’m quite impressed.

On my way to the Hallmark store to pick up some BOGO boxed Christmas cards like:

I’m endlessly amused by how my 6 year old gets her clothes ready for school.

Their wedging cake stuck close to the theme as well.

I’m not much of a photographer but here is the view from my Brother’s wedding on Saturday at Seneca Rocks. Along with my love bug child and love bug nieces being little forest fairies 🧚

432 cookies. 36 dozen.

I quit until Christmas.

Okay. So I preordered this book, right? It just arrived. I already know I am going to love it and will never regret my purchase.

But is it so wrong that I am enraged by the stupid freaking Reese’s Book Club printed on the dust jacket?

These celebrities and their “book clubs” for “influencing” are ruining glorious cover art and cramping my style.

Good morning #Cosonauts. I feel hungover, despite being a teetotaler. (Emotional hangover, maybe…)Yesterday was my last day at the main hospital before I transfer to the one closer to home. Immediately after work I went home to get ready for the fundraiser walk. I was the team captain and my team raised $29,048.15 for Leukemia and Lymphoma. I’m so proud of the work I did for my patients on and off the Leukemia department. 🎗️🏮

It’s a good thing I don’t believe in the rapture. Because if I did my child would give me a heart attack Monday-Friday. This is how she lays out her clothes for school.

Gael Garcia Bernal only gets better with age. Can’t wait to watch him in Cassandro.

The best dinner compliment I have gotten in a long time… from a picky 5 year old.

Catherine Steadman (actress of Downton Abbey fame) is also a writer and she is three for three of the #books of hers that I have read. Fourth one borrowed and on deck. #cosobookclub
