Yes, 18w4d pregnant. No, not a large 🌯 lunch.

Proof of my adolescent hockey prowess 😂 (I was mostly inline because it was California, but also played some ice later on!) @katiew.bsky.social @reaganfitzke.bsky.social @anthonyperillo.bsky.social

Hockey is not a cheap sport! 😬 And I would have to like, hold myself back now so I don't injure myself irreparably. 😂

Hockey people!!! 🤩 Pond hockey totally counts, sounds way better honestly.

Whaaaaat?! That is epic. Do you all have hockey teams at UNM? 👀 I played up until Junior year of high school. Such a great sport.

Omg, I want to hear these connections one day! Haha. But so agree. It definitely hit different this year. Prior to this it was all about the history and how much I love hockey. Nostalgia to the max!

Movie poster for Miracle on Disney, with 4 USA 1980 hockey players on the ice.

New to the holiday lineup this year, but certainly not new to my list of favorite sports movies, Miracle!! Watching a recreation of that 1980 US men's hockey team as the underdog whooping Russia. So gratifying. Hockey rules.

Meanwhile, my husband is a big fan and I am like 🤔🤨❓

Thank you! It will certainly be an interesting development as I am 3/5 of my way through the PhD. Hahaha. But, thankfully it aligns with my husband's retirement from the Navy. So, phew. 🙏🏼 Our little guy is especially excited.

Somehow, my 5 YO son's favorite animal is an Orca. I lived essentially my entire life with an irrational fear of them.

Like we were on a family vacation in Alaska when I was a teenager canoeing across an Orca breeding spot, everyone thought it was hilarious to rock the canoe & freak me the F out.

But I am also not a hater in the sense that I think she is somehow the worst artist to ever walk the earth or something. 😂 Clearly she has it going on for many many folks.

Maybe I should try that one again then. But I recall listening to the Poets album for a few songs and I was like what is even happening. 😂

I saw an announcement that she opened up North American tour dates to promote her recent album but the Atlanta concert is happening when I am like 37/38 weeks pregnant. 😭 Next time, perhaps.

Lily Allen is more my speed.

Saaaaaaame. I always try to give each new album a chance, but still nope. Just can't understand the hype. Lol. It also didn't help that when I worked at Sbux in my 20's they overplayed Blank Space to the point of my ears wanting to vacate my body.

Holy moly, huge congrats!!

In 1998, Karl Bushby stood at the edge of Punta Arenas, Chile, ready to begin a 31,000-mile expedition he thought would take roughly 12 years.

It’s been 27 years, and Bushby is still walking. https://wapo.st/4iFwvjP

So gratuitously and pointlessly spiteful and petty.

End of semester vibes: left the house wearing two different Birks and didn't notice for several hours. 🫠😂

Right back at ya! 😘

Received feedback from my Feminist Research Methods prof that I was often "the heart and soul of class discussion." 🥹

PhD Year 3, Fall semester ✅

& walking in graduation next week because I completed all requirements for the M.S. in Health Education and Behavior. 🎉

Oh, plus I will be halfway through pregnancy #2 next Friday. ♥️

As my sage (mentor @nmscaglione.bsky.social) told me once, "We can do hard things." 💪🏼

5 YO: And...where was Ezra (pit mix) born again?
Me: Crete, Greece.

Me and Hubs: 🤩🤩🤩

Me: We want to give you an experience for Xmas this year.
5 YO: What's that?
Me: Something we all do together, like travel somewhere fun.
5 YO: Oh! I want to go to California (because he, the husky mix, and I were born there), Boston (because Dad was born there)...
