I guess we're lucky they let us exist in our own houses at all 🤷‍♀️

Awwwww that is a COMFY cat. And so beautiful ❤️

Long haired Balinese cat on a bed, front legs stretched out and crossed in front of her. She has blue eyes and long white fur with dark gray ears, face, and paws.

Oh I'm sorry is this YOUR bed? Pretty sure it's mine now

And you just know there were haters going "I mean it was cool when they made that one demon explode, but to manufacture an entire rival boy band just to have an epic demon battle on stage is A Bit Much"

Every time I hear "Your Idol" from Kpop Demon Hunters I think how WILD the production value of this performance (including the song after) must have seemed to the fans.

Like this was a FREE concert?!

But for real I got to talk to the cast and the orchestra at the after party and everyone is SO AMAZING

You know I have been drinking when I post a super unflattering selfie

Two women with crazy eyes

Us doing crazy murder face (you can't tell I'm growling)

I figured flannel was appropriate for an ax-themed musical

Playbill for Lizze the Musical

Omg honestly cannot recommend this show enough at the Oregon Contemporary Theater

It's gonna be Hitch Bot all over again

Except this time I am not rooting for the robot

Duly noted 🫡

K offers to chase cat around to retrieve the dingleberry. Hilarity ensues.

Cat is finally caught, K announces proudly, "I got her!" Then "...um...it's gone." 😳

A frantic search. No luck. Finally cat leisurely walks up to us, smelly passenger still intact. Problem is solved. Puzzling resumes.

Scene: putting together a jigsaw puzzle with kiddo, also playing defense with the cat who is a puzzle monster

Cat starts tearing around the house at cheetah speed

K: does she have a puzzle piece in her butt?

Turn around, something is definitely dangling from her butt but it's uhh organic. Oh no.

💯

We are ALSO going to Evil Dead the Musical AND sitting in the splash zone!

That was a sober purchase

🤣😭

I will also be seeing a Lizzie Borden musical this Sunday. What a time to be alive

No YOU drank too much wine and bought tickets to a bunch of horror movies at your local theater

As we keep reading, there are over 1000 of us on the list 😅

Now it has devolved into jokes, along with new serious request for removal, even though information has been provided on how to get off the list 😅

People hitting reply-all to ask to be removed from an email list is annoying; people hitting reply-all to yell at folks for reply-all is infinitely more annoying.

You can't tell but her entire butt is wagging

Golden retriever getting ear scritches while looking up at her owner/the camera. She has a red toy in her mouth and her tail is a blur because she is wagging it furiously

I don't think there is anyone more excited than a dog who thinks you left for the day and just realized you are working from home

It's also a stone's throw from Vero so I can see myself combining a book + coffee on their patio (two of my favorite things!)

It was AWESOME, very much right up my alley

Yes! I had been meaning to check them out for a while, but this is what finally got me out there. It's a really great little shop, I'll definitely be back when I can actually browse and I'm not dressed like a cat 🤣

A bottle with a cork in it labeled "health potion". The contents are red and very glittery

I went to a Dungeon Crawler Carl book release party/costume contest/trivia night at a bookstore/bar and they were handing out these drinks. If you can't tell, they are CHOCK FULL of glitter and I'm a little concerned about what it will look like after it's gone through my digestive tract 🤔
