This whole year has been an April Fool’s joke, so here’s a moment of Zen instead: Pups enjoying a splash in a pond.

Thoughts on 25 years of marriage
Thoughts on 25 years
Today is our anniversary. A quarter of a century! How did that happen? I can remember like it was yesterday standing in that church, slightly nervous but completely in love, optimistic for our future together. And now here we are, twenty-five years later, no longer nervous but still completely in love. It feels almost like a miracle, and I know I will never take it for granted.
ACIMH, Car edition – serial killer sightings
ACIMH*, car edition
Me: Look at those two large steel cages in the back of that truck. You just know that guy is a serial killer and that’s where he keeps his victims.
Navy Guy: Would he be so obvious about his murder cages?
Me: Sure. Hide in plain sight! Also, look how muddy the tires and sides of the truck are. that’s because he’s been hanging out at his isolated murder cabin in the woods.
NG: You know, the strangest thing about this conversation is that after 25 years with you I don’t even find it strange anymore.
The horrors of ukulele music…

DISEMBOWELABLE
ACIMH*
At dinner tonight, Navy Guy and Law School Ninja and I discussed the word I invented today: DISEMBOWELABLE.
Me: Penny eviscerated another toy today. We need toys that are not disembowelable.
NG: that’s not a word.
LSN: Technically, according to the principles of English, it should be a word.
NG: The principles of English are so weird and bizarre and nonstandard, you can’t really count on them.
Me: And yet, you knew exactly what I meant. I’m writing to the dictionary people to suggest DISEMBOWELABLE should be THE word of 2021.

Okay, if you didn’t stop up there: here’s some truth.
I’m exhausted. This year has been so awful in so many ways. If you’re feeling anywhere near as broken and tired and sad as I am, please know that you’re not alone, and let’s all hope and wish and pray for a better 2021.
Because 2020…
