I’m sorry. That really sucks and must have been scary.

My appointment for today was canceled and now I’m finding zero motivation to do anything. I know I have to make a dessert, but that’s my only must do.

That is adorable!!! Is this a stand alone set or part of something bigger?

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

I’m going to Santa Barbara Friday-Sunday. This will be the longest I’ve been away from my kids since before Iris was even born. I’m very excited, packed already, with a couple of reservations. I need to download some stuff to my kindle. 😎

They were never that low here. I remember 1.99 a dozen.

Bird flu is the obvious reason for the scarcity and price gouging when it comes to eggs. We also have bird flu in our dairies but so far it hasn’t affected the price of milk.

Tell me what your egg prices are where you live. I can get two dozen for $7 at Costco or a dozen for $3.50 at Trader Joe’s (both places run out), or a dozen for $8.99 at Walmart/any regular grocery store and they are plentiful.

I’ve tried a couple other food podcasts, but food professionals often forget how much drudgery there is when you’re cooking for people who make dinner time a battle. I’m not making a fish stew or using preserved lemons. I’m cooking from a Venn diagram tbh.

Does anyone have a food/cooking podcast they love? I listened to Didn’t I Just Feed You for years but they ended production on new episodes this fall. It was so good at keeping me motivated as my family’s home cook. They reminded me I’m a person too and to find my own food joy.

Ah the young people are wearing dresses over trousers again I see, can't be long till they decide bootcut jeans and a kitten heel are where it's at

What are you doing now?

I have no motivation to do anything this morning. But later I will regret wasting my time. Ugh.

Day 8 is more stickers. Day 9 is a notebook that is in no way related to Gilmore Girls, and I supposed I can write in it with the blank pencil from Day 3. But Day 6 is a very cool pin. Day 10 is gift tags. Day 11 is a key chain.

Day 7 is a cork circle that could be a coaster but is too small for any human sized cup. Day 12 is a piece of cardboard that isn’t big enough to be a bookmark and is not a sticker. Day 13 is a glass stone that could be a magnet but has no magnetic backing.

Day 5 was a blank brown sticker with the outline of a coffee cup. I used my white paint pen to make it make sense.

After the disappointment of Day 3 I gave up. Here are Days 4-13.

Mmmm what is that?

It claims to be official, but after getting a plain pencil on day 3 I’m pretty sure this was made as cheaply as possible and is in no way official!

Day 3 envelope is a plain wooden pencil

Day 3 is a plain wooden pencil. This has me concerned about the rest of the days. When I ordered this I freaked out that maybe it was a scam, so we’ll see tomorrow. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Iris decided to do the Lego Princess calendar this year. Rory is doing Star Wars.

That is wild! So fun. I never score that well.

Next, the line about going from Sacramento to San Francisco in two hours and saying “you made good time,” is stupid. 90 minutes is good time. An hour forty-five is what Maps projects. Two hours+ and you’ve hit traffic. This only matters if you live in NorCal outside the Bay Area, niche, I know.

I just think this scene could have been tweaked a bit so that she’s kind of ranting and thus it would make sense for her to be listing all the things that happened in an exasperated way. But it was played way too straight.

We started A Man on the Inside yesterday and just a couple of notes. The daughter monologues about her father to her HUSBAND. As if he has no idea of his own father in-laws backstory. Of course this is for the audience’s sake.

Day 2 envelope is cast and show related stickers

Day 2 is some cast stickers and iconic things from the show. I feel like writing a letter now to someone and sending the paper adorned with Lane because she’s peak rocker grrrl.

Day 1 envelope with a Chilton prep school patch

Day 1 is a Chilton patch. It’s a little cheesy because it has Gilmore girls written on it too, but it’s still fun.

Gilmore Girls advent calendar with 25 days of surprises

In an effort to be here more, I will share what my Gilmore Girls Advent calendar has each day. 🍁☕️❄️

I took myself to lunch yesterday and then had a FaceTime with @jeniferleigh.bsky.social. It was such a good day! Life is so wonderful when your family isn’t home sick! I didn’t even mind cleaning the rubble from my living room for three hours.

I haven’t seen it!
