I refurbished my Litter Robot this weekend by replacing the liner, the pinch sensors, and 2 of the computer chips and so far it's working great. I feel like a fucking MacGyver goddess.

What's your favorite non-traditional Christmas movie? My choice: Bad Santa.

Maybe turn off video auto play for a while on social media. I accidentally just saw a video of the aftermath on Bourbon that I wish I hadn't seen.

In the last week, I've been to 2 funerals, watched my city get attacked, and had to let go of my 16-year old pup. I also got called for jury duty, but that now seems like small potatoes. It can only get better from here, right?

I've decided to do a dry-ish January for the first time. There are a few events I'm going to drink at, but otherwise I plan to use this month to reset a little.

So tomorrow feels like the real start of the new year, right?

Trying to find a few haircut/color inspo pics that aren't 20 year olds with Utah curls is really impossible.

This has been rumored among PJ fans for a while, but I am SO STOKED to see it confirmed.

Maybe I don't know how to measure snow because....this can't be right. Right?

I'll take "Things that belong in New York, not New Orleans" for $200, Alex.

I love all the pics and videos of big fluffy pups frolicking in the snow, but my scaredy-cat 30 pound beagle mix wants no part of it and I can't figure out how to get him to go outside to pee.

Well that's the first time I've lost power overnight and didn't worry about the contents of my fridge. (It's back on now, thank god).

All y'all taking long walks out in the snow - did you just have snow boots sitting around waiting for this opportunity or are you out there skirting danger in your rain boots?

Walked out onto my back deck and the snow is still so deep it almost overtopped my rain boots.

After a very stressful week, I made dinner reservations for Saturday with a friend at a restaurant I've been dying to try. Then, boyfriend surprised me with reservations at the same place for Friday night. I think I'm going to go to both and just not say anything to either.

I made the mistake of filling out a questionnaire on A Place for Mom and now my phone is getting blown up with calls, emails, and texts from every nursing home in south Louisiana.

I am simultaneously: meeting with elder law attorneys, touring assisted living facilities, navigating repairs to moms house in another city, and getting bids for a new roof for my house, while also working 60 hours a week and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life.

If, like me, you had no idea how expensive getting old can be, here's an eye opener.

Can I bring a laptop to civil court jury duty?

There is a house that I've been eyeing for a while and the price just got cut again. At this right they might be giving it away by next year.
