@tombrazelton Had the same thought and REWOUND to make sure I wasn’t imagining.

A hotel without coffee is the quietest bully.

Spun around in front of my mirror with the vigor of a young fashionista tonight…to see if there was a booger on the butt of my jeans. Kids are a blessing. #boogerbum

Daytime mosquito bites be like: sup, I itch. 

Middle-of-the-night bites be like: imma avenge the death of my ancestors by injecting the unsung itchiness of all those mothereffers you’ve ever swatted - right here, betwixt your 3rd and 4th toe.

There’s an inherent sadness in being up before @TheTodayShow. (Guess I’ll kill time watching The Kids are Sleepless Monsters Show.)

First night my 5 y/o has stayed in her bed in forever and...I kinda miss being spooned by a tiny person that came out of my body? Normal.

I don't like the word "robust." The end.

[Lenny Koggins @breetheauthor]

@PeterGudlewski Haaa! I appreciate the f*cking support.

[Lenny Koggins @breetheauthor]

Not sure when it started, but on busy days, the word "f*ckers" creeps into every single sentence in my head. Un-viciously. Like, "Gotta print these f*ckers" is a natural thing I just said to myself about some pages I don't hate at all. Seems healthy.

I write words for a living. After over a decade of hearing the word “vulnerable” on #TheBachelor and hearing it neverteen times spoken in real life, I checked to see if my perceived definition was correct. Yep, that tracks.

@ERHollands Right? One of these days I’ll just quit and go work at a gas station.

That experience where you feel like the worst in the world at 11 pm, then wake up the next morning, have a coffee, pluck a flowy chin hair, and write a line that makes you say, "boom." (Even tho you hate that expression and think it's wildly overused.) #FreelanceLife #writerslife

Always funny when people give me an assignment and say, "you could do it in your sleep." Um, ya hired the wrong bro. I don't work in my sleep. And if I do, it's the weirdest-ass shit you've ever seen. #freelance #writerslife

[Lenny Koggins @breetheauthor]

@abbyleiner Thanks! I may have to read and heart your reply again. And again. And again.

[Lenny Koggins @breetheauthor]

5 years later. Yes, I still look. Yes, I still lose my shit (in a good way) when people buy it. #whilesupplieslast #justone #buymybook #sealpress #memoir #friendship #preeclampsia

If I pour a bag of @CadburyMiniEggs into a cereal bowl, does that make it 'a balanced part of this complete breakfast?' Okay, good. That's what I thought.

After a pre-9am, pre make-up trip to the grocery store, where I got a, "whoa, I never would've guessed" age check on my ID...I'm ready to face the world! From inside my home office. Where I don't see anyone. #winning

[Lenny Koggins @breetheauthor]

@designcrush Hahaha! #honored

Similar to the Christmas season, I've already started eating daily cheese dip in prep for the Superbowl.

[Lenny Koggins @breetheauthor]

@drewber Well, if it isn't already a trend, how to we get Maybelline on board?
