In an alternate universe, Jamie Lee Curtis and Laurie Metcalf have an award-winning sitcom as sisters. We deserve that timeline.

You know what I havenโ€™t heard in a long time? Double mint gum commercials. Just one day, you woke up and watched a double mint commercial with its catchy little jingle for the last time.

โ€œAnd to all a good night.โ€

Painted this piece on Christmas to signify the end of the holiday.

Finished reading How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix and enjoyed the book. But one thing really bothered me - it was made clear in the description of the house it was a one story.

The cover art is a two story.

Does your mind ever betray you? Like, Iโ€™ll innocently be scooping up some food for my pups out of the bin and my mind goes โ€œWhat if thereโ€™s a rattlesnake in there?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

That moment when a cousin is complaining on Facebook that itโ€™s โ€œludacrisโ€ the amount of homework his teachers assigned to his kids and he was helping them until their bedtime. Should I tell him he may want to get outside help?

Iโ€™m never the one to turn โ€œGreat British Bake Offโ€ on but after like two episodes I canโ€™t help but finish an entire season in one sitting. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Why did the turkey bring a microphone to dinner? Because it was ready to serve up some fowl language!

Happy Thanksgiving, Bluesky people!

Just kidding! You were my favorite on season 5! Iโ€™m so glad Iโ€™ve seen you on season 6 so many times and canโ€™t wait to see more of your work!

This Thanksgiving, Iโ€™m hoping for understanding, empathy, connection, & a table where the only arguments are about whether cranberry sauce even belongs there.

Iโ€™ve put up with conservative ideology before that sparked me to leave gatherings & it is no longer tolerated. โœŒ๐Ÿป

Quite honestly, I think rural communities /nay/ all communities would benefit so much by being required to take a civics class every five years or so. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Iโ€™m either:

1.) At work
2.) At the gym
3.) with my dogs
4.) thinking about the gym
5.) wondering if my dogs miss me
6.) missing my dogs
7.) hanging out with the hubs
8.) caving into whatever new habit/obsession my adhd has manifested
9.) sleeping

Iโ€™m a simple man really ๐Ÿ˜‚

We do a secret Santa every year for our family instead of buying for every adult. This year, I drew my papaw. So for one of his gifts, I thought I would paint his puppy that passed a few years back. He loved that little dog more than any thing else in this world.

Thinking about cancelling my gym membership. I burn enough calories letting my husky in and out all winter long.

One thing I never did on the bird app was share my art. This is a painting I donated to our silent auction at a tourism conference here in Kentucky. Should I share my art? Is this a space to share that?

Itโ€™s official, this Tuesday morning, November 19 to be exact, Iโ€™ve switched over to my Christmas playlist. Iโ€™ve decked the halls of my Apple Music, Iโ€™m jingling all the bells, and Iโ€™ve went from blah blah blah to fa la la!

Pretty sure itโ€™s like 53 degrees in my home at the moment, however, as the proud #dogdad of these two huskiesโ€ฆ itโ€™s all worth it.
