HEA Apologist

This one does not have a name yet! He will turn out to be blond like his mama there so Lil Smokie only makes sense for a short time haha

I am only here sporadically because the barrage of the news cycle sucks and I haven't quite got my algo how I want it here, but to say hello and my thanks for being awesome, here's a newborn baby cow from my family's farm. Spring! 🌷

Toe Pick! That movie was formative for me, Enemies to Lovers forever and always! But it's cruel it's up against Pine and Hathaway's chemistry.

WOW! Not surprising because she was gone for personal reasons at the end of the season, but WHAT is the story with Gotham??

I (38F human) tried to save my doofus neighbor (23M human) from zombies using a burrito, but he saved ME instead. Turns out, he's not 23 OR human! Now my super-old, super-surly neighbor & I need to save the world, & he's hot AF for a coldblooded vamp. If I take time to jump him along the way, AITA?

No YOU stayed up 2 hours past your bedtime rereading Leather and Lark by @brynneweaver.bsky.social because yesterday called for a comfort read of a violent variety.

Sounds good to me!

Damn, no edit button over here either? *afternoon

Being IT for boomer parents is really no joke. Is it too early to start drinking on a Monday after on?

This last summer I flew in and out of LA and distinctly remember taking in the sprawl of the city and neighborhoods out the window. It's forever changed now and my heart just hurts. I've donated and checked in with loved ones there, not sure what else I can do. Keeping everyone in my thoughts.

I see you my new friend, I see you!

Just trying to read my little romance books and chill out and not let the news overwhelm me. Gotta quit doom scrolling on these awful platforms, but how when these have been my connection to the world outside my small town for years now? Not jazzed about the future of communication, pals.

I had to take my dad to get some bloodwork done and then we went out to breakfast where I, a person who rarely drinks coffee these days, downed 2 and a half cups in short order so now I am AWAKE. Ask me anything! Wait, don’t do that. Instead, for every like, I’ll recommend a romance book.

So so glad Morgan Weaver is getting her shot! Thorns are a better team with her on the field. So many names to get excited about here!

The glee I felt the first time I got to see her play in a Thorns jersey. Captain Becky forever!

That damn whistle gets me every time

Thank goodness for the little things. Like when curling ribbon goes right the first time. Walker's shortbread and tea. Holiday cards from friends new and old. And this hot and sweet Xmas novella A Man For Mrs. Claus from @rdotspoon.bsky.social, it feels like the holidays finally!

Scary! But great work! Quick reaction!

I've been sick for a week and a half and working and on a dead run anyway and tonight is Saturday and I am finally on the couch with the fireplace and cats and watching Last Holiday and geez did I need this. Le fin.

They're not wrong though
