"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
As a Cincinnatian, I am required to post this on Thanksgiving Day.

Today is my due date. Baby seems to have no intention of making her appearance anytime soon. I'm hoping that getting into the middle of preparing a big Thanksgiving dinner will trigger something.

@jtotheill I'm turning 39 on Wednesday. Thanks for the heads up. 😏

[Anna Mullady *Animal Lady* @AnnaMullady]

@HLVanFleet I feel exactly the same way. Most of the time I'm ok with it (maybe prefer it) but every once in a while it really hits me. I exist in a weird middle ground between knowing how much of a drain social gatherings are for me and feeling left out and lonely. ♥️

@ElizabethKBates Congratulations from me and Baby Girl Mullady (who is having her 34 week ultrasound on Monday)!!!

@RubyBarretWrite Quite a few restaurants here in Cincinnati serve it, and I also had it at a restaurant in northeastern Maine this summer.

So my kids found a snake in our house today. It was trying to crawl up the stairs. 🐍
We went camping on Friday night so we think it got into our camping supplies and we brought it home with us.
A few months ago we had a bat in the house, now a snake. What next? 😳

I found a roll of cookie dough in the freezer, probably forgotten from the frenzy of pre-Christmas baking last year. I have no idea what kind it is, but it's gonna be a good day!

@Riknight36 The first shot gave me a sore arm for a day. I got the second one yesterday expecting more of the same, but I feel utterly terrible, like the worst flu I've ever had. But worth it!

@CPLucia Thanks!!

And finally, to complete my trio of #pitchwars related Twitter content for today, my aesthetic:

The no plot, only vibes version of my #pitchwars manuscript:

🧤Cold, chapped hands
🍳Diner fried eggs & toast
🧼Fancy soap in a guest bathroom
🌴A road trip to Florida
👢Worn out boots
🌫️Midwest winter
🌾Dead weeds
🕯️Windows glowing with candlelight

Hey #PitchWars hopefuls!!! Give me a “no plot, only vibes” pitch of your book! I’ll go first. #GirlGangWIP is

✨Warm June nights with your best friends
✨The creak of leather and hum of blades
✨Darkness lurking in the shadows
✨Hatred that *might* turn into love

Somehow a very large bat got in the house. *Shudders.* We don't even have a single pipe organ.

Bats outside=good.
Bats inside=NIGHTMARE.

The bat is outside again, unharmed, and hopefully living happily ever after.

I feel like at least 50% of parenting is moving my kids' drinks away from the edge of the table.

Summer colors.
I use my grandma's jars, which she was still canning with the summer before she died at age 89.

I made pickles with cucumbers, garlic, and dill from the garden. I am invincible.

A murder in the garden?

No, just a sudden, violent nosebleed...
