I’m drinking a pumpkin beer and there’s nothing anyone can do about it 🎃

THAT WASN’T BUSINESS ENOUGH FOR ME

If you’re seeing this, listen to HOW TO BUILD AN OCEAN: INSTRUCTIONS

deeply important question dirtbag boyband bears in trees what would each of your classes be if you were dungeons and dragons characters

hope this helps !

So has anyone else read A Court of Silver Flames and suddenly want to get super strong and badass but also find a small group of girlfriends who lift each other up and help each other heal from trauma?

Lessons learned today: a good life doesn’t always look the way you think it’s going to look. Even if you don’t have all the big things you thought you would have, the little things are pretty damn good

Watched Vivarium last night and I still feel uneasy. I’ve never been made so uncomfortable by a movie.

Listening to an audiobook and the narrator just said, “exiting the apartment, she tripped over an envelope” and I can’t get past it. How does one trip over an envelope.

SCREAM 2

I’ve only seen this one once, way back in the 1900’s.

Ten minutes in, I have thoughts

This takes place, what, 2 years after two teenagers brutally murder a bunch of other teenagers and, not only have they made a film about it, they are handing out ghost face costumes at the door. People are running around the theater pretending to murder each other for the entire length of the movie - or at least until someone is actually murdered.

Look, I’m not expecting realism in a slasher movie, but this is wild.

Also, Courtney Cox’s hair. Yeeew!

Also, it’s just occurred to me that I am not a fan of Neve Campbell.

Also, maybe it’s my age, but old Skeet Ulrich is better looking than young Skeet Ulrich.

I said what I said.

Every year for the Halloween season I go with a “theme” of movies to watch - along with my regulars and maybe some others. This year I’m choosing Scream because I’ve only seen the first three. I remember when the first Scream came out and how iconic it was. I appreciate it even more as an adult

What’s you’re favorite scary movie?

I am introducing my husband to Practical Magic tonight so naturally I got Halloween candy, lit every candle in the house, and made apple cider cocktails

I am an adult woman with a full time job in a career that I built for myself over a decade of working my way up, two children, and a mortgage and it still really bothers me when my mother doesn’t take me seriously. Because she doesn’t. Ever.

Wilf has my whole heart

I decided to stop posting calories alongside my meals. Again, this stuff is mostly for my own reference to make things easier for myself. Almost like creating a menu for myself to look back on. Anyway, if I post it, it’s somewhere in the range of 350-500. This was lunch- potatoes, peas, and chicken sausage. Yes, I’ve been eating potatoes every day. Because po-tay-toes.

I’m on my third rewatch of Over the Garden Wall this season. It’s fine.

And that’s a rock fact

Todays activity took me to the garden. I sowed some more seeds for the fall - radish, lettuce, and carrots for the third time.

Apparently carrots don’t germinate in temps over 80 degrees. I didn’t find that out until after the second attempt.

I’ll probably do a last harvest of my tiny peppers and giant basil this weekend and then take them out and maybe plant something else for the fall.

Oh and I accidentally grew some pumpkins from the ones I chucked out back last year 🎃

A lovely little breakfast on this (finally) cool September morning

We needed cheap and easy tonight so I got some rotisserie chicken and a baguette from the grocery store and made salad BECAUSE HEALTHY HOBBITS EAT BREAD.

This doesn’t look super appetizing but, my god, it’s so comforting.

Kids playing in their rooms, sick husbo watching One Piece in the living room, gloomy rainy weather, and me - alone in the kitchen- making soup. I like it here.

Healthy hobbits make pizza with their family on the weekends

Todays spooky background movie. What are you watching?

So my six year old has been low key watching the LOTR films as I play them in the background while completing important tasks that use up a lot of my brain space.

Please note this child will not watch Disney movies because of the “scary parts”

Throughout the duration of the films she asks me back to back questions -with very complex and complicated answers.

I am equal parts proud, excited, and exhausted. Like, my brain is oozing from my ears - but I’m happy about it?

Spot on, indeed.

This Twitter thread went semi viral during the pandemic, and it's so spot on and hilarious, I had to bring it back! Please share your GG pandemic headcanons too because I would love to hear them…

A cozy little lunch, because healthy hobbits eat their veggies 🥗

A warm mug of Chai tea and Charmed while I work ☕️

Bbq sauce goes weirdly well with broccoli.

Bonus hobbit points - bell peppers and jalapeños came from my garden and I pickled the jalapeños myself

"If by my life or death I can protect you, I will."

I went for a cozy walk today. It’s hot outside and I wanted to light a candle and walk in front of my tv so that’s what I did. I also downloaded this app that tracks your steps and you travel to fake Mordor, but I’m just using the free trial bc I haven’t decided if I want to buy the full version. With the trial you can only track one mile per day.

We tried to go for an outside walk after dinner but the halflings were being difficult and then we wound up getting in a conversation with our neighbors

I made the same lunch as yesterday but added bell peppers and used sesame sauce instead of bbq to give it a different flavor. It was definitely more filling with the added veg but I preferred the taste of the bbq.

We are loving a simple life so I always cook the meat and prep the veg in a batch ahead of time so it takes less time to cook

This has become a favorite comfort snack, especially when it’s cold. It’s like chicken and stars soup, but it’s homemade and it tastes better. Plus it’s super simple to make
