Stereotypes of a brown woman misunderstood. I'm [San Francisco] before it turned into a bike lane. 🇭🇳.

I wish I had access to Telemundo at home. I can only imagine their commentary on Messi.

this man's legacy is so much more than Disney. SO much.
Show and Tell. Closer than Close. Can You Stop the Rain. If Ever You're in my Arms Again. Feel the Fire. I Wish You Love.

A whole quiet storm LEGEND.

Our first house party was lit, but it will most likely also be our last because some people don’t know how to respect others’ homes.

Our backyard looks so good now after adding patio furniture & lights. I may never leave the house now.

I’m more annoyed he did that to one of my fave B-side SWV songs.

I was today years old when I first heard about Omnivore Books. Must plan a quick trip to the City to do some treasure hunting 📚

So that SAVE plan email I just received isn’t an April Fool’s joke, huh? 🥴

Sam Smith’s alt foodie IG account is delightful. They’ve hit up nothing but gems while staying out here for their residency in the City.

Anyway. Came here to say that I hosted my family for brunch at my house and it’s the grownest I’ve felt in a while. I couldn’t do this comfortably at my old apartment.

Listen. Jerry had no taste whatsoever and it’s clear he tried to DIY some of the electrical work. I just spent a pretty penny redoing our two bathrooms thanks to him.

As an adult I have learned that the most shocking and unexpected opponent in life is the person who owned your house before you.

Needless to say, I’ll be getting rid of a lot of clothes in the weeks to come 🥲

Moving out of my 1-bedroom apartment was probably one of the most unpleasant experiences I’ve had in recent years 😭 I accumulated SO MUCH STUFF, but I had no idea just how much because everything fit in my large closets.

[the iris that grew from concrete @geminiris41521]

I was still scrambling to finish clearing out my walk-in closet when the movers arrived.

The house we bought is pretty spacious, but the closets ARE NOT. And now I have to share these small closets with my man 😅

And so concludes my final weekend at my apartment of nearly 11 years. Wish I could say I did something fun, but all I’ve been doing is cleaning & packing.

All jokes aside, if you go to any major city (LA, SF, CHI, NYC) etc and ALL the food you try is bland you have to recognize that as a flaw in your trip planning I’m sorry.

@Lowes DM sent. Waiting on you.

[the iris that grew from concrete @geminiris41521]

@Lowes Why can’t I reach a real person at your store? Coming here after waiting 18+ minutes for an associate to answer the phone to no avail. One of my items is delayed (original ETA 2/7/26, then 2/16/26, now indefinitely). Please provide a new date.

[the iris that grew from concrete @geminiris41521]

@askhelp_Lowes Sent. Please have a real person call me.

[the iris that grew from concrete @geminiris41521]

I’ve underestimated how many books I own.

[the iris that grew from concrete @geminiris41521]

Time to start packing up damn near 11 years’ worth of stuff 😬

Did I mention I’m officially a homeowner now?!
