Enthusiastic learner, runner up in my 6th grade spelling bee, and I look hella cute in a mask (+ so do you.)

I've been called unapologetically liberal.

Italy has taken a hard-right turn, making it even harder for Stanley Tucci to find.

Are those stickers on fruit tracking the fruit, or are they tracking...you?

Let this sink in—“The republicans who said ‘my body my choice over the COVID vaccine’ now say I have no control over my body (to not be forced to give birth to baby of a rapist)”. Let that hypocrisy sink in.

Death isn't the only negative outcome from Covid. Months after getting infected, many people are still struggling with health problems such as difficulty breathing, brain fog, and loss of taste and smell—with little clarity about when or even IF they'll get better.

I used to get melanin and melatonin mixed up. So I thought dark-skinned individuals slept REAL well.

People who report on covid and other public health issues are germalists.

After having a cryptic conversation about cookies in front of my preschooler, I know how the game Taboo was invented.

@REALDeanKruse At least Texas has that going for it. 🙃

[Leslie C. @ItsTheElle]

Texas is wrong. About everything. After careful consideration, that's the only conclusion I can draw. The whole state is just wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

Say what you want about schadenfreude, it has been glorious to watch Trump repeatedly lose the election. It's like a looping slow motion video of Cruella DeVille falling down the stairs. #ArizonaElectionAudit

This morning when I reminded 4 that while Fridays are great, we still have to go to school and work before the weekend starts, he started sobbing.

Same, kid. Same.

I'm convinced that the antagonists in Shaun of the Dead weren't actually reanimated corpses, but rather parents of lanky 4-year-olds who refuse to sleep in their own beds. #walkingdeadtired

Heaven forbid you get a vaccine with unreported side effects. Luckily, we know the side effects of these trusty livestock meds, one of which is being turned into hamburgers.

If we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, how is it that I can spend half my day trying to convince my preschooler to eat, then still have so much time left over to yell at him to get off the dog!?

[Leslie C. @ItsTheElle]

4: oh, I get it!
Me: get what?
4: everything.
Me: wait until you're 13, you'll REALLY get everything.
4: I already do.

Wish me luck over this next decade.

Boomers are so funny. Mom told me about an old friend who's an Account Manager at Google and guessed she just "goes around to make sure are happy with their Gmail." Old people don't know anything about our corporate overlords.

Now is the time to cultivate the traits that your dementia nurses will know you for.

How are you talking to #kids about #PrideMonth? 4 got bored when I explained "sometimes boys love boys, and sometimes people are boys in their hearts but look like girls on the outside."

We landed on "I love me for who I am, and I love you for who you are."

@JustMelvin3 Oh no, I've never had one of THOSE experiences with tequila specifically. It takes me like 1/2 of a drink before I'm rubbing my temples and just done for the day.

[Leslie C. @ItsTheElle]

I just saw an ad for tequila and now I have a hangover headache. If this is mid-30s, I should draft a will now because I'll never make it through my 40s.
