“I can feel the dead deep in my bones.

Not all of them. Just one particular soul tonight.

Someone is pissed as hell, and he’s strumming my ribs like a harp. Sliding his fingers up and down my spine like my back- bone is the neck of a guitar.”

I’ll check back in periodically to share some fun, spoiler free quotes and pictures of our adventures together. Until then, I’ll be hiding from my kids and husband, wetting my feet in Lucifer’s Creek while getting to know Dovie and Lo.

Screaming, crying, throwing up!

I swear if I had to keep this secret one more minute I was going to burst. I’ve been chosen as one of the select few readers from Arkansas to receive an ARC of When the Bones Sing by the amazing @stageandpage and @PenguinTeen

[Chelsie @chelsiewrites]

For the next two weeks, I get to read this book and take it all over my little corner of Arkansas before sending it on its way to its next reader.

I can’t wait to dive in IMMEDIATELY.

Halloween in your 20s: Costumes, parties, no regrets.

Halloween in your late 30s: Making a lil midnight sandwich snackie with questionable cheese and feeling like literal shit the next day.

A grand jury in GA indicted Trump & allies for their attempt to overturn the state's 2020 election results.

Sign now: Disqualify Trump from the presidential ballot NOW for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results & inciting a deadly insurrection! https://t.co/DXu9p1Pu42

Insurrectionists should have no place in public office. Sign the petition to hold insurrectionists accountable and prevent further attacks on our democracy.

@RoxieNoir I do this and end ideas with lots of ‘maybe/probably?’ so that my brain doesn’t get too attached to an idea I have to axe later.

When your two year-old is enamored with British accents so you start watching #GBBO together and he gets so into it that every time someone has to leave the tent he tells them bye bye in the saddest little voice… 🥹

@awalmartparking I like not shidding my pants so that would be a no from me dawg, but I also have not had a drink in almost 5 years. Balance?

The womanly urge to comment “you’re not gonna get extra credit for talking about Jesus so much on social media” on all the mean girl from high school’s FB post…

@RoxieNoir There’s a reason we don’t watch Paw Patrol in our house. 😬

I just saw someone call Mitch McConnell’s second little glitch “rigor tortoise”

RIGOR. TORTOISE.

@KeddyBredemeier He made it on time but Jayzus. I have that extra special anxiety that compels me to show up 25 minutes early just *in case*

[Chelsie @chelsiewrites]

Why are men? My husband has an appt @ 9:00 (it’s 8:25 now) & he hasn’t even gotten in the shower yet. My ass would have had to have been up by 6:00 so I could take care of the baby, drop the big one off at the bus stop, shower/makeup/hair, all just to leave the house by 8:35.
