NICE

It is! And if I saw someone saying they loved their city and I thought it was a bad city, I'd just be happy for them and keep scrolling 😂

I never try to post ragebait, but I made a little TikTok about how Chicago is a great city, and some people are FURIOUS. Imagine getting mad about that. 😂 (I'm just deleting comments and blocking.)

This is so silly, anyway. You can do planks, pushups, burpees, situps, jumping jacks, yoga, etc. with no equipment, anywhere.

Isn't it? I'm following him on Instagram now--he's very talented!

In chapter two, Rose figures: doing a little love spell couldn't hurt...right?

Sledders near my house today. I love the snow! We're going to go sledding tomorrow! #chicago #winter

Once a song came on shuffle (the old days; a CD player loaded with 50 CDs) that my husband loves and I don’t. I joked, “I bet the ghost will play it on repeat, since she likes you and she doesn’t like me.”
It played 20+ times in a row until I turned the music off. Never got stuck before or after.

Oh, it’s fine. I never really believed in ghosts/thought much about them before that apartment. She would flip off light switches I just turned on, fling pots and pans, and slam doors. Once the bedroom door (closed all the way) banged open and my husband asked in his sleep, “Where’d she go?” 😂

A person sits in a subway car, dressed as a Christmas tree.

I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still wearing fir.

If my beagle mix hasn’t seen me for several hours, he greets me with a loud, heartbreaking wail and jumps and rubs all over me. Sometime I should post a video with the caption, “Dog reuinted with owner after six months!"

And I love it when it's the quiet, shy boys 🔥🔥🔥

My mom used to tell me, “It’s always the quiet ones,” and is that ever true. 😂

As an author I am bookmarking this, because that repeated little chair raise thing is so weird and will be great in a story.

Being extremely careful about image/video attribution isn’t JUST important for giving credit to artists and creators. It’s also a way to slightly decrease your chances of spreading deceptive AI slop!

Chicago Snowfall

we think crows are black, but that’s because we only see with human eyes

crows know they’re made of rainbows, even if we see only a void

isn’t it the way of humans? to miss the iridescent among us?

This is a brilliant point. Every time I'm doing nothing *but* watching a movie, reading a book, walking, having a good conversation, I feel so much better…but tech companies discourage life without a second screen. Of course Mark Zuckerberg wants to push “AI wearables” on us now. 🙄

😂 Right?

I’m not even a huge DUNE fan, although I read two of the books as a kid, but the sandworm riding scene in DUNE 2 was one of the best things I’ve ever seen in a movie. If I’d seen it on a small screen, it would’ve had zero impact.

I’m not a huge fan of watching men have meetings, so the only good part of OPPENHEIMER for me was the massive explosion, which would have been meaningless on a phone.

On top of the visual spectacle and immersion, Barbie was a PARTY. Girls and women came with their friends, dressed up! We complimented each other and chatted and helped each other get good photos!

I wouldn’t want to be haunted by anyone (I once shared an apartment with a ghost and she was so annoying), but I especially would not want to be haunted by DAVID LYNCH. He would know how to really freak me out 😂

YAY! I listened to "The Scientist" a lot when writing Henry, too--it's so perfect. And "A Sky Full of Stars"!

Do you listen to music when you read or write? I'm sharing the songs I listened to on repeat when I was writing HER TIME TRAVELING DUKE!

Oh honey, I am so sorry. What a lovely kitty--and so lucky to be so loved.
