I read a review that stated one of my books had 'vanilla digital art', which is so frustrating because I've spent years working and honing my art to have a really distinct banana flavor. It's not my fault that guy lacks a sophisticated palette.

Husband Guy went in our garage—

And YELLED.

💩! 💩 on the floor of our garage!

We don’t have a 🐶.

We DO have a Yard 🦊.

🦊y HAS 💩d in our driveway. 😝!

Husband Guy said CHOICE words at 🦊y’s den.

But the 💩 turned out to be…

A 🍁. 😂!

How does one apologize to a 🦊?

A horse came INSIDE the @lubbocklibrary for the Lubbock Book Festival we were at this weekend! 📚 🐴 #cool #author #library

[Ame Dyckman✨ @AmeDyckman]

ME: “Name a Roald Dahl 📖.”

HUSBAND GUY: “THE BFG.”

ME: “What’s ‘BFG’ stand for?”

HUSBAND GUY: “Um… ‘BIG F*CKING GIANT?’”

ME (😂ing): “OMGS, NO! IT DOES NOT!”

HUSBAND GUY (sulky): “Well, it SHOULD stand for ‘BIG F*CKING GIANT!’”

😂😂😂😂😂!

The Google searches I have to do for reference photos is pretty hilarious sometimes. Today's goofiest search has been 'historical dog clothing'. Here's what I got!

IF YOUR SANDWICH IS NOT A SANDWICH WHOSE BREAD IS COOKIES AND WHOSE MIDDLE IS ICE CREAM YOU HAVE A BAD SANDWICH⁠
⁠
If ever there was a time "Eat dessert first" made sense it's now. Have a cookie sandwich.⁠ Honestly, have two. ⁠

A LIFE WITHOUT ANYTHING GOOD IS BAD

[Wander With Fitz @wanderwithfitz]

Hmm. I'm not totally sure, but I like Mac & Cheese and I like ice cream so...I would try this #MacIceCream!
