Verify your age: The first time I got on the Internet was on Prodigy. Or- I played this game when it was first released.
It's very cold across most of the country, so to counteract that, quote-post a favorite photo from a summertime baseball game. Gotta go with a good AA minor league game. This was September when the RockHounds became the Amigos for Hispanic Heritage month.
River found a fortress of solitude to hide from the other two cats in the house.
This week has been one dumbass year. I deserve this Ardbeg Unicorn.
I didn't join #HATM tonight because I want to see both parts together. But - 1. As a child it was Sound of Music. As an adult it's Waitress. As an educator and historian it's the Music Man and Hamilton. 2. We had wiener schnitzel (veal yay!) with German potatoes and creamy cucumber salad. And wine
Dancers ready to go at the end of the inning! The one in the red dress is a former student from AP World.
They're really leaning into a day of the dead theme with the logo and uniforms. The local Baile Folklorico group is here and we've got a mariachi trumpet with the national anthem.
It's a warm July evening, but a drier West Texas heat. The beer helps.
Not a lot of minor league teams in my area, but I do like to visit the AA As affiliate Midland RockHounds. Thirsty Thursday is a regular promotion and makes the beer affordable. Tonight it's an alternate night, they're the Midland Amigos, with a sugar skull dog head design.
Watching Jesus Christ Superstar this Easter afternoon. It's been awhile since I watched this version and I forgot how good it all is. The songs are all well done and the Broadway production values made this the best of all the live productions.
The number one movie at the box office on your 10th birthday is his 2025 will turn out for you. I really don't know how to truly interpret this one. On a side note my husband's 10th was E.T., so we're bonding with Spielberg films.
Without downloading any new pics what's your energy going into 2025
It's been a day. Internet issues. Changed exam schedules. Consequences of poor choices. I'm at this point of the evening.
This girl, Lily, possesses the rare and mysterious snore-purr. Purr-snore? It's adorable when it happens.
We didn't buy it, but my husband's aunt got us a wine Advent calendar.
It's not the same at all, but I'm enjoying hunting in central Texas today.
Well it's Monday morning and I'm off for the week for Thanksgiving. So this girl knows it's snuggle time in the chair. Say hello to River. Named after River Tam from Firefly, for all the reasons.
