Don't call it a comeback! This charming house is back and ready for a new owner. Preferably someone who likes charm, open concepts, and a great location. https://t.co/irVzrX4v1W

Saturday night, left to right: knitting Christmas stockings, sewing belt gadgets to Ghostbusters costumes, and restoration on an Xwing. Pretty par for the course in this house.

I keep my Kindle timer set on ‘hours/min left in book’ so that I can compete with the ‘average time read’. That’s what everyone else does, right?

Bea pooped in her potty for the first time this morning and the best part was when she discovered that she gets an M&M as a reward. I wish as adults we got chocolate for pooping.

Puppy plus toddler plus leaf raking=not very efficient, but certainly entertaining.

@AmazonHelp Cool, thanks!

I wish @amazonecho had a row counting knitting app. “Alexa, click.”

I just started reading Sheltering Sky becasue it’s supposed to be this great work of mid 20th cent fic, but then in the second chapter the main character sleeps with an underage prostitute and I can’t get over how rapey it is. Gonna go find some classic fiction that holds up.

I really need to learn not to attempt long destination walks with toddler and puppy.

Beatrice has named her pull-toy dog “Carl”.

Once the pre-lunch meltdown was calmed by lunch arriving, Beatrice reflected: “Beatrice crying because hungry.” Not even two and she has already identified the feeling hangry.

The best footnotes are the ones that have dry little jokes in them.

Wonderful thread Ken!

Having my mom come over to babysit while I “go to work” which is in actuality me sitting on the porch and knitting is the best idea I’ve ever had.

My daughter might be prepping an audition for a Japanese horror film.
