Someday, as an artist, I will learn to spell silhouette.

But when you’re pulling into the high school parking lot in 1999 and the other kids are like “What IS that?!”

They called it the mystery machine and the silver bullet.

How about this 1986 Toyota minivan I had to learn to drive with. Engine was underneath. It was actually super dangerous, but I drove it high school until it hydroplaned into another car. As it was known to do.

I dropped the larger box of an ikea play desk on my foot to avoid it falling on the dog who tipped it over. Then I walked like the penguin for two weeks. The sacrifices we make.

All my 4 year old can talk about these days. Because we let her pick the characters.

Fun fact: I am a not so secret sorority founder of Kappa Alpha Theta’s Eta Theta chapter at UCF.

Writing a Christmas D&D campaign, and I think chatgpt is sick of my shit.

I call this “The Nightmare Before Thanksgiving”. Made for our nanny who appreciates whimsical decor. You find the knit-worthy people around you.

Several elections later, this shirt from Draw Something still does its job.

I feel like what has happened here will be viewed historically as rivaling 9/11 and the resulting War on Terror, in terms of cataclysmic consequence for the entire world. The hard thing right now is the expectation to act like it’s just another day. Guess I gotta go to my dentist appointment. Fuck.

Bought a cat trap at Harbor freight for our missing indoor cat. Every single employee AND customer in the store at 9am offered to carry it out to my car. Was only 11 lbs, so I got this, but chivalry!

Resin figures of Jester, a blue teifling, and Caduceus Clay, a pink-haired firbolg.

A little less than a year from now at Radio City Music Hall, I’ll be at the Critical Role live show during NYCC watching a Mighty Nein session.

Jester getting Married!

Crocheted doll of Boo from Monsters inc. with pink shirt, purple leggings, white socks.

I made Boo because my preschooler wanted to be Sully. She assigned Mike to me and Randall to my husband. He spent a month asking me with every stitch why it took so long. (Answer: bad pattern)

Devastating indeed! Duvet covers that don’t suck to change and flying cars we will never see in our lifetime.

4am and can’t sleep? Research unreal 5 blueprints instead and discover the rigging problem you’ve been troubleshooting all week can be fixed in one click.

My husband calls Cinderella “Mommy” and Rapunzel “Mommy goes to Florida”, and it’s true.

She is crazy good with lyrics.

Light blue crocheted spider with sparkly eyes held for the camera by a hand wearing colorful, beaded bracelets.

Spiders are the reason for the season. My 3 year old named him Lucas and gave me friendship bracelets.
