Felt crappy for most of the day. Hubs suggested this for a comforting dinner, even though I’ve only ever had it once and not even when in Minnesota. And so we added Hatch chiles. #tatertotcasserolepartdeux #covidday10

Good GOD, the music at the gym was terrible today. This tune in my Airpods helped me go further. 180# deadlift single! Boom. #Iseeyoubaby #wildchildhair #dontcare

Possibly the first amazeballs lunch of 2023, and we made it in our home kitchen. Thx @rancho_gordo for the beans and recipe and thanks, @anntaylorpittman for the guidance on making farrotto without a pressure cooker! #HeirloomBeans #EverydayWholeGrains

Finding some inspiration for 2023 goals in … a pile. I see travel, photography, sunshine, play with the doggos, fun, brewing, lending a book to family, and a stack of new stories, study and discovery. (Also, probably some tidying up!) What’s in 2023 for you?

Do not underestimate the brain of a Poodle: this is a decoy, placed by Rollo. (It’s by a window facing the neighbor’s yard, where bunnies often appear.)

To no one’s surprise: voilá, Saint Paul in January. Pretty, and also pretty overwhelming. #thisisalot #really #stillgoing #tiltomorrow

Someday Soon I’ll…

Visit Istanbul.
Learn Arabic.
Live closer to mountains.
Read Moby Dick, Little Women and Anna Karenina, The Secret Garden, The Invisible Man.
Have a garage sale.
