Was naughty at lunch today 😋 🍦

3 years ago I took this picture of a little bug through a window. I'm still surprised at how well it turned out.

Such a beautiful night tonight to do some astronomy! I would have loved to stay out later, but alas, work comes early.

My husband is magic. That is a fitted sheet! I saw him doing it and I still don't know how it happened!

Feeling great after a much needed haircut! Tonight I'm listening to 80s and 90s 12" singles. Just a little bit. Then maybe later, a little bit more...

Best thing to do now. It's a real shame when you stab your fans in the back.

Reminds me of this

Photo of a man and woman from the 1950s. The caption at the top reads: Imagine giving a guy head in the 1950s and he says, "You suck a mighty fine pecker, toots".

If I want to see it live I'll need to open Stellarium and watch it there. 🫤

The top of the image says "This Afternoon". Below that, an image of rain and "90%". Below that, "High: 69 °F". Below that, "Showers".

CW: Meat Eric made an absolutely divine meal out of this beef roast. It was in the freezer yesterday and I accidentally poked a hole in its packaging so we had to use it today. Thanks to America's Test Kitchen for the recipe.

Eric and I posing for a picture at Joshua Tree National Park. Got to do a little astronomy out there with my telescope, but the moon is just past first quarter so unfortunately it wasn't very dark. It was still very beautiful!

Picture of Eric and I standing in front of a red minivan, with a Joshua tree behind us, and the moon and rocky structures in the background. The waxing gibbous moon is high in the clear blue sky.
