Thankful?!

I guess the things/people I can be thankful for this year are…

–Kylie Minogue, for existing and Tension II

–Megan Thee Stallion, for existing and the run she’s had this year

–Christina Aguilera, for existing and showing the world that she still has it

–getting the chance to see all three perform live this year

–owning the entire Married With Children series on DVD as I’ve been binge-watching the show yet again and that I don’t have to stream it (their crass yet self-deprecating humor soothes me)

–being super-duper fully vaccinated (got all my Covid shots and boosters and they do work because I’m still here and feeling fine after catching Covid for the first time this past summer)

–And not living with guilt when it came to this year’s elections. I voted Biden in the Primaries, voted early for Kamala, and not once did I tell others that “both sides are bAd” or to “not vote” this year, nor admitted that it was “my first time voting” while being in my late 30s because I’d been voting since I turned 18! (Some things weren’t meant to admit to the world, no matter how many internet Likes you’d get.)

And Tonight, I Get Lit

candle and cat

I’d grumble over my long work weekend happening the same time as 420 weekend, but, honestly, it’s been years since I smoked weed, so I’m not really missing out. I occasionally indulge in a small edible, but that’s about it. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to get into the 420 spirit tonight! I’ve had that Malin + Goetz candle for over a year now, and, yes, I only bring it out during 420 time. (Although its bold aroma can work for cold days of late fall and winter.) Does it smell like cannabis? No, but anyone who enjoys that dank woodsy scent would like it. Happy 420, everyone! 💚

(And watching the flame is my pet “cat” that I got at Trader Joe’s last Halloween. Isn’t he cute?)

Rainbows And Votes

How I’m celebrating this holiday: by admiring the sights of rainbows from my studio apartment and getting out to vote! The weather here still isn’t pretty, but I’ll always enjoy a rainbow sighting (the one pretty thing to come from this icky rain). And my state’s Primary Election Day is in two weeks. If you haven’t yet voted in your state’s primaries, get out and vote! These days, all elections matter!

Quote Of The Moment (12.31.23)

Yup. Although I’ll be more focused on writing my latest work-in-progress instead of the NYE festivities on TV tonight. A book can’t write itself, you know!
Happy New Years to you all! 🥳🍾

A Halloween Stunner

I’m always intrigued over what my favorite celebs will do for Halloween. So far, Christina’s Cher had me gagged, Mariah’s Jessica Rabbit served, and I’m wondering if/what thee Kylie will dress up this year.

Then I saw this clip…

…and I don’t know if it can be topped. I can be a sucker for anything Showgirls-related. And I didn’t know that was Ariana Grande playing Nomi Malone; she nailed it!

Happy Halloween, everyone!
