Matriarch of Awesome

Sometimes it feels like my socks are strangling my ankles.

I hate doing fucking taxes. We always get screwed.

Just once I'd like my husband to prove to me he knows how to work the most complicated piece of equipment we have in the kitchen: a washcloth.

My first Crichton. Timeline.

Remember when Country Inn & Suites had a free library?

Finished my first Nancy Drew tonight.

It was cute. Parts were very fast paced. I had to ask my husband a car question about half way through bc I couldn't understand why Nancy would need to freshen up after a 50 mile drive. But things were a lot different in 1930 than they are now!

Plan tonight was to have ham steak but I think it went bad. Just doesn't taste right and it was slimy coming out of the packaging. So now we're having ribeye. I don't make steak often enough to know what I'm doing so I hope they turn out.

Do you have a Threads acct? There's a huge Minnesota presence there and we'd love to see you and promote you there.

It's not about the immigrants.

Starting a new book tonight. 📖 Checking off the January book of the nostalgic kid lit challenge. This is my first Nancy Drew so I'm pretty excited. They were my mom's favorite books growing up. #nostaligickidlitchallenge

It's 8:35a on a Saturday. Why am I up??

Da bulls

It's snowy and cold and I don't wanna work. I wanna lay in bed all day being cozy and reading.

Finished The Village Beyond the Mist tonight. This was so sticking cute. Thank you, @libby.app for having this be your featured book for the Libby and Sora bookclub.

Highly recommend this to everyone, no matter your age. Absolutely adorable. 5⭐

It's snowing, school is out early, the fireplace is going. It's cozy and I'm getting sleepy. 🌨️

Please call the congresswoman's office tomorrow to request to be part of this town hall. It is not listed on her website and I cannot find any info about it online.

Pretty sneaky keeping this townhall a secret from her constituents.

a tele-townhall. To join just pick up when I call back tomorrow at 5:30pm.

"In the meantime, if you need anything before that, please reach out to my office at 320-403-6100.

"I hope you will join us tomorrow night. Thanks."

I got 3 calls in a row from 218-328-7168. The last call left a VM re: tele-townhall.

"Hi, this is Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach. I wanna touch base tomorrow night about the government shut down. That's why I'm hosting

The majestic "Toaster Tree" of Pope County, Minnesota The town of Sedan, Minnesota, has gone out of its way to celebrate an every-day household item.

A local legend.

If Beverly Hills Cop is on TV, I will watch it.

What a long day. I'm so sick of being behind. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be caught up - just in time for me to take Monday off and get behind again. Not having backup sucks.

There's just something magical about laying down on the couch sometimes.

📱: Wildfire. 4.5⭐. Trauma bonding over Daddy issues. This was perfect timing for me. Loved it.

🎧: I Who Have Never Known Men. 4.5⭐. Stumbled on this one in Libby & decided to try it after seeing it time and again in Threads. So glad I tried it. Everyone should read this.

Books 59-62.

🎧: The Miserable Mill. 3⭐ Lemony Snicket should not have narrated his own books. The story is good but his narration is terrible.

🎧: The Mysterious Benedict Society and The Perilous Journey. 3.5⭐. Cute but long.⤵️

Glad she's ok. Puppy crying breaks my heart!

Ate two tacos in the car while driving and didn't spill anything on myself. 🙌🏼

Poor baby sounds like she's nervous or anxious about something. I hope she's ok.

I didn't read yesterday bc of the funeral and being busy all day. I'm giving myself a streak freeze like in Duolingo. That's ok, right? Right!!??

Watching murder (Dateline) and the prosecutor has a large space between his upper lip and nose. I knew that area had a name so I looked it up.

Philtrum. The man has one of the largest philtrums I've ever seen. He looks like a cartoon. 😄

11 is listening to Green Day in his room with the door closed but I can still hear it. It's making it hard to listen to my audiobook when I just want to jam out to Dookie instead.

They look delicious.
