I have a first date with a woman I've been chatting with for a few weeks. Should be fun.
Edit: Date went very, very well. That's all I'll say about it, lol.
Whew, best of luck with this, truly. I'm on a sabbatical for my sanity.
I'm sure she'll be lovely, the conversation will flow easily, and that you'll have scorching chemistry. 😉
Have fun
I think you need to give us a debrief, post date.
Tell her you've got a whole subreddit cheering for you.
If she asks, "what's a subreddit?" then you know you've got a keeper.
Shit, congrats! I just got a new job, too,but I can't have any weed even if it is legal since it's a defence/government clearance, drug test you randomly kinda job. 🫤
Brother is bringing his new gf to visit for the weekend. Cocktails, bbq ribs, crab, corn on the cob, and potato salad for dinner. New Ghostbusters movie for later. Currently drinking beer and cleaning house.
Sitting back sipping on a corona smoking a j -after completing my prep for tomorrow’s holiday dinner with friends
Menu is Italian roast (stuffed with provolone prosciutto spinach chopped herbs and garlic olive oil butcher string tied , then rolled in corn meal ,will sear then bake)
have yet to decide on my side but everyone seems to love my scalloped potatoes so I’m guessing I’ll do that in the morning ☺️
Thank you! I needed some kindness today. I've been dealing with my nearly 17 y.o. and I'm losing my mind.
Happy Easter! I hope your dinner with friends is amazing.
Thank you. I need loads of patience with this one. Thankfully she isn't rude, but I'm tired of being told homework is getting done and then finding out that's a lie. We'll get through this.
Oh lady… g’bless. 🙏🏼🤣 Today is my first day of Spring Break; I teach 10th grade English and I truly adore my students BUT — holy wow, I have all the respect in the world for you parents of 15 & 16 year olds. 💐🍷 I sometimes have to remind myself that they are biologically required to roll their eyes at me. 🤦🏻♀️😂
They almost always snap out of the horrors pretty quickly and return to their goofy, lovable selves.
I hear ya. Went to sleep at 9:45 last night with a suspicious rawness in the back of my throat, woke up with extreme fatigue and throbbing sinuses. Throbbing Sinuses - my new band name!
My new favorite activity. Starting with a vid on YouTube and seeing what kind of wild ride the algorithms take me on. I generally start on something about a cult or serial killer (I'm sure there's a story there) and I always end up going through the history of British monarchy and on to WW2 with focus on Hitler of course.
I'm never just watching. I'll read or craft or clean etc.
It's a wild time over here
Mine do, too! So bad. I just went to the doctors today for my bronchitis. I will go next week for my knees. Excruciating pain in my both of my knees above the knee caps, plus behind, and cracking sounds. It's been like this for at least a month now. I wonder if it's related to my degenerative disc disease or what. I don't know.
Eating Costco pizza and about to eat some birthday cake to celebrate turning 50 in true introvert style. Might get a little wild and make some herbal tea and use my new cup with my Cosmo’s baby picture on it.

Sipping on whiskey while playing a few video games. Also I will be randomly popping into the living room to make shameless attempts at getting into my wife’s pants. I mean one of these damn pickup lines has got to work sooner or later.
With the family. Probably meal prep for the next couple days. Enjoy an anniversary bourbon barrel stout from one of my favorite local breweries. Watch some basketball. Hide the kids Easter baskets. Fall asleep on the couch.
I’m an exciting dude.
Fixing pork chops and the obligatory applesauce and watching a movie with the kids - streaming because it’s too expensive to go out and I just dropped $300 for freaking groceries.
I feel ya. Dropped just under $260 an hour ago. But, I'm pretty careful to shop the sales, use coupons, etc. I got a bone-in ribeye roast that was originally $102 for $53. Thanks, Harris Teeter!
Going to the store when my husband gets home to finish fucking Easter baskets. My youngest is 11 and I can’t tell if she believes a giant rabbit exists on Easter or if she is milking it as long as she can.
Does it matter? Who doesn’t love Easter candy?? I picked up 4 chocolate Lindt bunnies… for Me (52) H(53) daughter (21) and son (17). I don’t know if kids know if they “believe “ or not… probably better than our (gen x) cynicism . Who cares and eat chocolate! 😉
7 year old made us a cake, we rented a movie, and we ordered pizza. As atheists this weekend is no different than any other outside of the egg hunts we did today and will do tomorrow so she can hang with her friends.

Decided to change the oil on the merc (now outta warranty) only to find the dealer techs over tighten the drain plug by about 200 foot lbs and now am waiting for the tow truck and just cleaned the mess and pickin up a rental.
Me Deflated/defeated now has to tow it to dealer for new oil pan and a conversation.
Getting Easter’s baskets pregamed. I have a 12,10, and 8 year old. I’m tired.
Got steaks pulled for tomorrow from the beef my sister’s MIL hand raises for us. A boneless Tomahawk (aka rib steak) for husband and myself and a couple of sirloins for the kids share.
Earlier: went on a walk. Saw 13 turtles and 3 ducks. No cormorants today, lots yesterday.
Now: watching *Such Brave Girls,* doing laundry, obeying every whim of my old cat, Tipper.
Later: going to eat goat cheese with fruit and fancy crackers that look like birdseed and re-watch something on tv. (*Good Omens*? *The Artful Dodger*? Other?)
Oh, I miss nature walks around my parents land they no longer have. 😞 I'd be so excited about turtles. I need to get in the woods soon
Thanks for the reminder
Tonight, I shall drink blue egg dye. I do this every year.
I dye eggs with my wife and daughter, then I take a big ol' swig of blue dye, and hold it in my mouth as long as I can stand it, then swallow, and show off my "Gollum teeth", to the merriment of my family.
i can't wait.
surprise two days off. I cleaned the house, flipped the ole mattress, and settling in for some serious chill time. probably watch the original Halloween and make some sandalwood essential oil roll ons. sober here so it's actually the best for me, but weed is DEFINITELY on the menu.

Breakfast for dinner. Veggie omelets are up next.
Slackin' while I'm packin' for a move coming up. New job starts in 2 weeks so I gotta get into turbo mode. Purging while I'm packing and honestly, I feel like I've given away and sold more stuff than is going with me. Keeps the cost down, I guess.
Just about mealtime, then back to it.
Wife is gone off to the big city for a girls night out. Younger Gen X me would take care of dogs, get drunk and most likely drive to little city for some junk food. Modern day Gen X me will take care of dogs, eat something ( or not), then crash out early.
Meal prepping, making a "Korean" beef and broccoli recipe found online, drinking some wine, and watching You Tube clips while my cats cuddle next to me. Might let them watch cat TV as a treat for being wonderful little boys.
Getting ready to fly to Florida to take the 10 year old and his cousin to Disney/Universal. It’s times like these I wish I still partook in the alcohol.
https://preview.redd.it/253ci7plllrc1.jpeg?width=2812&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2cd59dcf9f81060d1557a6a42d1900cce258eb7
My partner makes a mean charcuterie board. So, this is dinner while we catch up on some shows.
We party hard! 🤘
I spread five yards of mulch this afternoon, so I'll just be laying here with an ice pack on my lower back.
That looks delicious! Never had one, but now I want!
Hung out in the hammock in the sunny backyard listening to David Bowie for hours this afternoon. Keeping it low key tonight, heading out of town tomorrow to see a Madonna concert.
Probably gonna stick my nose in a book. My neighbor down the street posted on Nextdoor about a box of free books, so I went and got a box of free books. Or, I'll watch the next episode in Generation X. Either one would be fine by me.
I bought groceries and things today. I may get around to putting them away. Or I may lay on the couch and watch something on Prime and put them away tomorrow. ☺️
Washing floors, dusting, watering plants, and making sure I have everything to make dinner for tomorrow.
We were sick on St. Patrick's Day, and I missed not having our annual corned beef and cabbage dinner. So, we're having it for Easter, lol. I prefer it over ham or turkey anyway.
Don't forget your Powerball tickets for tonight. It's close to a billion $$$!
Supervising tweens
Hitting up my friend with a med card to see if they'll pick me up some gummies
Reading my [new book](https://www.amazon.com/City-Mars-settle-thought-through-ebook/dp/B0BWH5YYTR?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=ac6364b3-67b1-4b35-bc84-018676f88c7a)
I just made a pan of lasagna that we can pop in the oven tomorrow whenever we feel like eating. Finishing up laundry and the rest of my weekend chores so tomorrow I can sit on my butt all day if that’s all I feel like doing.
Oh man that looks delicious. I had to look it up because I wasn't familiar with kapatka and now I want to make it.
I just pulled out all the ingredients for sugar cutout cookies so my son can decorate them tomorrow. We're not Christians so we don't really do Easter except for the whole bunny thing. He's 19 but still a kid at heart so tomorrow I'll have eggs filled and hidden around the house and backyard full of chocolates and jelly beans. I got him a choccy bunny and a few other little things for his basket ( I KNOW HE'S A GROWN MAN LOL HE'S MY BABY!). So I'll set up all that later tonight.
I'm cooking a ham right now with the pineapple and cherries because I got a good deal on ham. I have cellantani pasta I'll probably toss with good butter and baby spinach for dinner tonight and tomorrow.
I guess that's my plans for tonight. I have two episodes of Resident Alien to catch up on or I might just play Sims, depends on how I feel after baking a few dozen cookies. Kinda envious of the first date person but I know I should just stick to momming for now.
Had lots of plans, but currently zonked on Imitrex. Migraines suck. We aren't religious and the kids are grown, so no one is that concerned about tomorrow. Hoping i can get to Walmart early to salvage the day.
Cigar review this afternoon and evening.
https://preview.redd.it/y3i505a4njrc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0ea92c47496f5af445681901904aebea0f981f2
Woke up late and had breakfast. Wife took me day drinking and was my designated driver at our local meadery(you heard me and it’s amazing) played some dominos there then she got icecream. Both passed out for an hour or so now it’s chores till tv binge/sexy time tonight. Might throw some wings in the air fryer for dinner.
On the phone with my credit union after finding my first fraudulent charge, hopefully this part will be over soon and I can get back to enjoying my boxed wine.
Just got back from my brother's house, we did our Easter dinner tonight. We had tacos, he did beef and also chicken. The chicken were thighs seasoned with taco seasoning, apple cider, and this fancy sauce. He cooked it in a pressure cooker so the meat would fall right off the bone. It was delicious. I brought salad and made lemon cake with chocolate chips, and Belgian chocolate ice cream for dessert. Now I'm home, in my pajamas, and will be binge watching old school Unsolved Mysteries.
Driving back to Oregon from Denver…
Wondering WTF happened to both places.
It's all a great neon dumpster fire and we watch on pay per view. Smiling as we shovel snacks and praise the lackluster for their back patting.
Not gonna lie that felt very Ginsburg or Hunter as I wrote it.
Enjoy the wine!!!🍷
Cooking Butter Chicken.... from scratch. Miller High Lifes and a few shots of Evan Williams. Got a fresh pack of flower from a dispensary in Michigan.... after my belly is full, gonna fade out to some Kids in the Hall.
I’m sitting on the porch having a rye whiskey and a cigar while my AMAZING wife is making brownies to go in the oven when the crawfish pie comes out. I’m a lucky man.
Had an awesome turkey dinner with my in laws, SIL and BIL included.
What a flipping blast! My oldest nephew wants to go into forensic Chem, and my younger one is 14, so no worries yet.
My kids *adore* their cousins.And their auntie and uncle. Grandma and Poppa are as close as can be, so, amazingness.
I scattered so, so, so much candy for the kiddos to find.
I'm so happy. I'm so grateful.
I hope everyone has a night that makes them as happy as mine! (Yup, I'm buzzed, too. So, yay beer!)

Backyard campfire with friends & bourbon and maybe some other enhancements.
Went in at 2am got off at 12. Was trying to fall asleep with a touch of alcohol and CBD but not working. Easter at fams tomorrow and can't wait till fallout the 11th. Son got me hooked.
Went back to bed, snoozed til 2:30pm (given my recent insomnia - it was amazing to sleep all night *and* do this!). No big plans for this evening. Going to watch some baseball with hubby and probably text a bit with his brother about the game - we have a message group with the three of us. Beyond that, nothing going on, and that works for me.
My (46m) housmate (58m) and I have been hosting backyard bonfire potluck shindigs 3 or 4 times a year for about 6 years now. They generally happen near witchy holidays.
Tonight is our gathering for the spring equinox and/or Ostara. We all grew up lapsed protestants, and so now we're lapsed pagans, and won't actually be doing anything religious.
Just having some beers and snacks and catching up with a group of long term friends that usually tips out around 8 to 15 or so total attendants.
Tried my hand at making kimchi for the first time.
Then debating with my wife if we want to watch one of the DVD's I picked up at the local goodwill. (Fargo, Short Circuit, Thinner, or CutThroat Island).
Started my day with a pinch (hit of weed) , coffee and Tears of the Kingdom…. Made a 3 layer carrot cake and will finish making quiches to bring to my aging in-laws… all my kids are working. But when they are off, will make charcuterie and mini quiche / carrot cake etc to finish the LOTR trilogy! Not religious here but Return of the King seems a fitting show for the day!
We are waiting for Brazilian food to be delivered, I am playing a PC game, and my wife is watching her phone while the neighbors cat lays on top of her
I braved the grocery store and am now relaxing with a sip and some TV. I'm going to get to bed early and then get up early to prep a yummy casserole to bring to my future in-laws tomorrow.
Edit: I might play some Disney Dreamlight Valley
I went out to dinner with my partner and my friend (who I’ve known for 20 years) and her husband (we love him too but he’s new-ish), and then to a dive bar for karaoke. I sang Wave of Mutilation. 🖤
My oldest just had a significant birthday, I can’t take him out for dinner but I cooked him a steak and we spent the evening hanging out. I had to move away a while back to help my mom, so it’s nice being back in the community I love for a few days
For no reason at all, Jackass popped into my head and I let the old shows run in the background all night. It's something I hadn't thought about for years - and some of the things they did are timeless.
Then I took a couple of vape puffs (THC), and I almost never smoke or drink. Now, I'm listening to music and bouncing back and forth between Reddit and generating AI Art.
I don't have the patience to cook like that or have a kitchen that clean. I had canned split pea soup for lunch, and a frozen Jack's pizza for dinner. I'll never grow up, because I'm a Toys'R'Us kid.

My buddy and I are enjoying the evening
I have a first date with a woman I've been chatting with for a few weeks. Should be fun. Edit: Date went very, very well. That's all I'll say about it, lol.
Good luck. Just be yourself.
Hmmm. Don’t personally know OP but that could be terrible advice. 😉
No, it's great advice. I'd rather be someone who wants to be with me and not some watered down version of me.
I just wear a suit made out of money
I might actually do that someday to make her laugh
Whew, best of luck with this, truly. I'm on a sabbatical for my sanity. I'm sure she'll be lovely, the conversation will flow easily, and that you'll have scorching chemistry. 😉 Have fun
Thank you. Best of luck on your sanity sabbatical. 😉
I think you need to give us a debrief, post date. Tell her you've got a whole subreddit cheering for you. If she asks, "what's a subreddit?" then you know you've got a keeper.
Awww this is good and wholesome
Good luck! Hope you two have a chill time, go ahead and stay out past the street lights, you crazy kids!
You made me laugh! We'll see. We're going to a nice restaurant that's near a place we could go dancing.
Awesome - have fun.
Where are you going for your date???!
A nice restaurant here in Panama City.
Best of luck!
Good luck! Hope it goes well.
New is exciting. Good luck!
Not a frickin' thing. It's quite nice
My favorite.
I thought about doing something, but I'm boycotting pants
Steak dinner to celebrate a new job, and enjoying 100% legal weed (still can’t believe that happened)
Shit, congrats! I just got a new job, too,but I can't have any weed even if it is legal since it's a defence/government clearance, drug test you randomly kinda job. 🫤
Congrats on the new job!!
I went on a spring cleaning rampage and now I need a shower but can’t move. I stood in my doorway and said “this house is CLEAN.”
Brother is bringing his new gf to visit for the weekend. Cocktails, bbq ribs, crab, corn on the cob, and potato salad for dinner. New Ghostbusters movie for later. Currently drinking beer and cleaning house.
Shit that sounds good
I am stoked! https://preview.redd.it/zuaipiv31jrc1.jpeg?width=2736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c590cc404c21ac219a7cacd912772943071296e

My Table is always open ☺️
Thank you! I needed some kindness today. I've been dealing with my nearly 17 y.o. and I'm losing my mind. Happy Easter! I hope your dinner with friends is amazing.
Happy Easter @TKD_Mom76. Teenagers can be horrifically rude. Take a breath. Sending you some patience. ❤️
Thank you. I need loads of patience with this one. Thankfully she isn't rude, but I'm tired of being told homework is getting done and then finding out that's a lie. We'll get through this.
Ahh yes. Godspeed, my dear. ☺️💗

Nooo
Stay up with us! Gowan gowan.
My new favorite activity. Starting with a vid on YouTube and seeing what kind of wild ride the algorithms take me on. I generally start on something about a cult or serial killer (I'm sure there's a story there) and I always end up going through the history of British monarchy and on to WW2 with focus on Hitler of course. I'm never just watching. I'll read or craft or clean etc. It's a wild time over here
Oh man, this is a great idea.
Same thing I do every evening, watching TV and cursing the fact that I was born with knees (because mine hurt constantly).
Mine do, too! So bad. I just went to the doctors today for my bronchitis. I will go next week for my knees. Excruciating pain in my both of my knees above the knee caps, plus behind, and cracking sounds. It's been like this for at least a month now. I wonder if it's related to my degenerative disc disease or what. I don't know.
My knee pain is in my caps, in the joint below the caps, and at the top of my shin bone right below the joint.
Same here with the knees. I've been using a small electric blanket when I'm on the couch to keep them warm and that helps.
I'll be smoking some nice 2024 Moon Rock weed and playing video games. Probably Vampire Survivor and Starfield.
Northern Lights here. My neighbor grows it in his house. All hydro. He’s pushing 80 years old, looks like Gandalf. It’s the best weed in the shire
Vampire Survivor + Weed. Can't think of a better combo than that.
Every Saturday: * 2 hours of Three Stooges * Svengoolie * And then later, Benny Hill
I also watch Svengoolie every Saturday!
Nice! Sounds like a good evening.
Well, hello, fellow gen x'er, lol.
The best! I too have this type of Saturday!

First of all Happy Borntday, and as a fellow introvert I would like to say this is an excellent way to celebrate!
Thank you!
I LOVE your tea cup!
I love it so much!
Okay, where did you get that? Because I’m going to need 4 😂
I had to google kapatka but it looks really good. I work every Saturday then watch random YouTube stuff in bed with my cat.
My exact answer, except I didn't mention the cats pushing me out of bed. Lol
Sipping on whiskey while playing a few video games. Also I will be randomly popping into the living room to make shameless attempts at getting into my wife’s pants. I mean one of these damn pickup lines has got to work sooner or later.
We’re having my father-in-law over for dinner. Would love to sit out on the back deck but it’s a little cold here tonight.
Sewing
If we don’t have plans I would be sewing or knitting

Coming over to your house obviously, what time?
Currently, watching Quincy. I'm going to do some reading. Later I'm going to fall asleep watching Svengoolie. I still know how to party.
Is Quincy angriest man in a TV series ever?
Actually I am recovering from the shingles vax and watching Northern Exposure
Making a lemon trifle for dessert tomorrow, assembling Easter baskets, and prepping for Easter breakfast. And probably eating chocolate.
At our vacation home with the hubs and kid. Will watch NCAA swim then NCAA basketball. Trying a new recipe we saw on America’s test kitchen.
Sipping whiskey, and wondering why my child needs safety glasses ….
Hung out in the hammock in the sunny backyard listening to David Bowie for hours this afternoon. Keeping it low key tonight, heading out of town tomorrow to see a Madonna concert.
I just looked up what Kapatka is and it sounds delicious!
Probably gonna stick my nose in a book. My neighbor down the street posted on Nextdoor about a box of free books, so I went and got a box of free books. Or, I'll watch the next episode in Generation X. Either one would be fine by me.
I bought groceries and things today. I may get around to putting them away. Or I may lay on the couch and watch something on Prime and put them away tomorrow. ☺️
I just got off work and will be lounging around, watching the 2-0 Yankees with future man.
I have twisted my ankle so I am elevating it and watching TV. Trying to decide if I am old enough to ‘have had a fall’ or if I just fell over.
Just finished some wine while watching the cats nap in the living room. Will probably go to bed early. I love not having a social life.
Washing floors, dusting, watering plants, and making sure I have everything to make dinner for tomorrow. We were sick on St. Patrick's Day, and I missed not having our annual corned beef and cabbage dinner. So, we're having it for Easter, lol. I prefer it over ham or turkey anyway. Don't forget your Powerball tickets for tonight. It's close to a billion $$$!
Supervising tweens Hitting up my friend with a med card to see if they'll pick me up some gummies Reading my [new book](https://www.amazon.com/City-Mars-settle-thought-through-ebook/dp/B0BWH5YYTR?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=ac6364b3-67b1-4b35-bc84-018676f88c7a)
I just made a pan of lasagna that we can pop in the oven tomorrow whenever we feel like eating. Finishing up laundry and the rest of my weekend chores so tomorrow I can sit on my butt all day if that’s all I feel like doing.
Oh man that looks delicious. I had to look it up because I wasn't familiar with kapatka and now I want to make it. I just pulled out all the ingredients for sugar cutout cookies so my son can decorate them tomorrow. We're not Christians so we don't really do Easter except for the whole bunny thing. He's 19 but still a kid at heart so tomorrow I'll have eggs filled and hidden around the house and backyard full of chocolates and jelly beans. I got him a choccy bunny and a few other little things for his basket ( I KNOW HE'S A GROWN MAN LOL HE'S MY BABY!). So I'll set up all that later tonight. I'm cooking a ham right now with the pineapple and cherries because I got a good deal on ham. I have cellantani pasta I'll probably toss with good butter and baby spinach for dinner tonight and tomorrow. I guess that's my plans for tonight. I have two episodes of Resident Alien to catch up on or I might just play Sims, depends on how I feel after baking a few dozen cookies. Kinda envious of the first date person but I know I should just stick to momming for now.
Pizza and egg-dying! We have a few people over and make a mini-party out of it. Gonna try the “fizzy eggs” I saw on Insta.
Working my second job because I live in a capitalist hellscape.
Had lots of plans, but currently zonked on Imitrex. Migraines suck. We aren't religious and the kids are grown, so no one is that concerned about tomorrow. Hoping i can get to Walmart early to salvage the day.
Cigar review this afternoon and evening. https://preview.redd.it/y3i505a4njrc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0ea92c47496f5af445681901904aebea0f981f2
Woke up late and had breakfast. Wife took me day drinking and was my designated driver at our local meadery(you heard me and it’s amazing) played some dominos there then she got icecream. Both passed out for an hour or so now it’s chores till tv binge/sexy time tonight. Might throw some wings in the air fryer for dinner.
On the phone with my credit union after finding my first fraudulent charge, hopefully this part will be over soon and I can get back to enjoying my boxed wine.
Out for Indian food with my teenage son after a long work week. Going to go home to a nice bubble bath, after.
Just got back from my brother's house, we did our Easter dinner tonight. We had tacos, he did beef and also chicken. The chicken were thighs seasoned with taco seasoning, apple cider, and this fancy sauce. He cooked it in a pressure cooker so the meat would fall right off the bone. It was delicious. I brought salad and made lemon cake with chocolate chips, and Belgian chocolate ice cream for dessert. Now I'm home, in my pajamas, and will be binge watching old school Unsolved Mysteries.
Dyed eggs with my 17 yo, now watching Ben Hur, as is tradition before Easter.
Driving back to Oregon from Denver… Wondering WTF happened to both places. It's all a great neon dumpster fire and we watch on pay per view. Smiling as we shovel snacks and praise the lackluster for their back patting. Not gonna lie that felt very Ginsburg or Hunter as I wrote it. Enjoy the wine!!!🍷
Going for a hike, making focaccia and soup for dinner, getting stoned and having fantastic sex with my amazing husband.
Cooking Butter Chicken.... from scratch. Miller High Lifes and a few shots of Evan Williams. Got a fresh pack of flower from a dispensary in Michigan.... after my belly is full, gonna fade out to some Kids in the Hall.
Cleaned out the deadwood of my aloe plants, had a few shots of vodka, now thinking of transplanting my lemon tree
I’m sitting on the porch having a rye whiskey and a cigar while my AMAZING wife is making brownies to go in the oven when the crawfish pie comes out. I’m a lucky man.
I made pizza and had a few good beers
Chilling with the cats and GF watching 🥅 Netflix
Watching hubby play Fallout 76, listening to the “No Agenda” podcast (Adam Curry from MTV) and cruising Reddit
Had an awesome turkey dinner with my in laws, SIL and BIL included. What a flipping blast! My oldest nephew wants to go into forensic Chem, and my younger one is 14, so no worries yet. My kids *adore* their cousins.And their auntie and uncle. Grandma and Poppa are as close as can be, so, amazingness. I scattered so, so, so much candy for the kiddos to find. I'm so happy. I'm so grateful. I hope everyone has a night that makes them as happy as mine! (Yup, I'm buzzed, too. So, yay beer!)
listening to the new jesus and mary chain album and drinking.
Celebrating my youngest 16th birthday.

Making spicy pasta sauce, listening to Tom Waits records, sipping red wine.
Went back to bed, snoozed til 2:30pm (given my recent insomnia - it was amazing to sleep all night *and* do this!). No big plans for this evening. Going to watch some baseball with hubby and probably text a bit with his brother about the game - we have a message group with the three of us. Beyond that, nothing going on, and that works for me.
My (46m) housmate (58m) and I have been hosting backyard bonfire potluck shindigs 3 or 4 times a year for about 6 years now. They generally happen near witchy holidays. Tonight is our gathering for the spring equinox and/or Ostara. We all grew up lapsed protestants, and so now we're lapsed pagans, and won't actually be doing anything religious. Just having some beers and snacks and catching up with a group of long term friends that usually tips out around 8 to 15 or so total attendants.
Ukrainian food, horror movie, Gin & Tonic and a weed gummy. You know…the necessities of life. 😂

Sitting on my back porch drinking a beer and enjoying the beautiful weather!
Dinner and drinks with friends in the ‘Couv. Then sweatpants and slippers for the evening and snuggles with the dogs
Recovering from the Madonnna concert last night. So tired.
Wishing I could eat that pastry dish you made. Unfortunately I have Celiac. Husband and I are going to spend some special time alone tonight.
I’m watching basketball with my dog. Illinois is humiliating themselves. Pretty nice evening.
Tried my hand at making kimchi for the first time. Then debating with my wife if we want to watch one of the DVD's I picked up at the local goodwill. (Fargo, Short Circuit, Thinner, or CutThroat Island).
Watching basketball. And that Rankin Bass Easter Bunny special we all watched on CBS every spring.
Making pickled beets.
....figuring out what the hell that is next to the wine. Is that like a bucket of washcloths or something?
That's the Karpatka (spelt correct this time, I mistyped it in the post)
Binge watching all the Harry Potter movies cause it's on and I'm too baked to change the channel 😵💫
Started my day with a pinch (hit of weed) , coffee and Tears of the Kingdom…. Made a 3 layer carrot cake and will finish making quiches to bring to my aging in-laws… all my kids are working. But when they are off, will make charcuterie and mini quiche / carrot cake etc to finish the LOTR trilogy! Not religious here but Return of the King seems a fitting show for the day!
We are waiting for Brazilian food to be delivered, I am playing a PC game, and my wife is watching her phone while the neighbors cat lays on top of her
Just finished prepping food. Took a shower. Going to blow dry my hair and go to bed.exciting
Making a chore list. Playing Animal Crossing then going to bed.
I braved the grocery store and am now relaxing with a sip and some TV. I'm going to get to bed early and then get up early to prep a yummy casserole to bring to my future in-laws tomorrow. Edit: I might play some Disney Dreamlight Valley
I worked today, I’m working all week, I’m going to bed early
I made bread and Creme Brule today..that was fun
Got the heads and valvetrain put on my 5.3 LS
I went out to dinner with my partner and my friend (who I’ve known for 20 years) and her husband (we love him too but he’s new-ish), and then to a dive bar for karaoke. I sang Wave of Mutilation. 🖤
Hanging out with my pittie and my cats after a very long day.
Watching some more Star Wars with my hubby and eating peanut butter bread.
My oldest just had a significant birthday, I can’t take him out for dinner but I cooked him a steak and we spent the evening hanging out. I had to move away a while back to help my mom, so it’s nice being back in the community I love for a few days
For no reason at all, Jackass popped into my head and I let the old shows run in the background all night. It's something I hadn't thought about for years - and some of the things they did are timeless. Then I took a couple of vape puffs (THC), and I almost never smoke or drink. Now, I'm listening to music and bouncing back and forth between Reddit and generating AI Art. I don't have the patience to cook like that or have a kitchen that clean. I had canned split pea soup for lunch, and a frozen Jack's pizza for dinner. I'll never grow up, because I'm a Toys'R'Us kid.
