I am NOT celebrating my birthday on the actual day tomorrow because I refuse to share my day with a national debacle…let the reader understand. Today works just fine for me…just as fun without the irritation, and I got my presents a day early, too!

Even though I don’t actually play fighting games, next year my tag for @COMBOBREAKER is going to be Mandy Mayhem…it’s just too good a name not to be used!

As @COMBOBREAKER wraps up, I am struck by how hard it is to care so much about people you only get to see once a year…love you guys. #CB2026

I cried.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Took a brief break from watching the @Olympics to see what @RickSteves has to say about Milan. It’s such a beautiful and interesting place…I would love to visit someday!!!

This week in school my 8th grader is working on writing a chronological narrative of a favorite past event.
Did she choose to write about her experience working in the staff room at @COMBOBREAKER? Heck yes she did. It is literally the highlight of her year. #combobreaker

@lanebryant do you actually have anyone staffing your online chat? I have waited for literal HOURS over two days trying to get help with a missing order and no one will respond to me.
Since I’m obviously too old to make my dreams of being a roller derby queen come true, maybe I should transfer that energy along with the awesome name I had picked out (Mandy Mayhem) to learning a fighting game I could play at @COMBOBREAKER.
