I bought a little stone Buddha and now Wayfair is recommending I also buy a stack of rocks

"unusual behavior" = using Twitter, in this case

​

I love that the dog and cat are both terrified of my face paint, but the OTHER cat, Jezebel, is just, like, SUPER into it. Like, not just "fine" with it, but INTO it

All the employees at my local bank branch are dressed like Grease!

In this commercial for Enbrel, pro golfer Phil Mickelson makes his daughter a grilled-cheese sandwich. (In another, he JUICES AN ORANGE, which makes my hands ache in sympathy.)

If you happen to see this commercial air on television in HD, pay special note at the :30 mark, where you can see a long glistening strand of his "daughter's" hair go into the pan. I'm obsessed. (It's less obvious here, so just take my word for it) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/dEVt/enbrel-my-dads-pain-grilled-cheese-featuring-phil-mickelson

I just woke up from an amazing dream: I'd been sent an American Girl Doll for review. They'd decided to refocus on the books, by releasing a line of "American Girl Friends" dolls. This particular doll was shaped just like an American Girl but was in fact an elderly woman with an incredibly lifelike, wrinkled face. She came with one accessory: a sickass mobility scooter, red with white polka dots. I loved her on sight, and I woke up from the shock of it

Me, amused: "Why are you taking photos of my Barbie?"

Ted, indignant: "THE Barbie?"

Me, suggestively: "OUR Barbie????"

Ted: "I mean, I guess it's your Barbie."

Me: "Oh no no no, it can be your Barbie too"

Update: I asked my husband to please go downstairs, locate the spider (??), and take her outside

Good news: He found the spider and deposited her outside!

Bad news: He did this two more times with each subsequent spider he found

Current status: quitting work for the night because a big spider just walked by

Ah, Snakebite! Takes me back to the summer of 1987. I can't believe these weren't more popular, either. http://www.horror.land/remembering-super-naturals/

I'm pleased to announce that I have repurchased my best childhood friend, Vlobb. He was the smartest of the original three Boglins—the Donatello of the group, if you will https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/object-of-intrigue-boglins-the-greatest-monsters-youve-never-heard-of

I am sitting downstairs in my office, working, but also listening to creepy thuds and bonking-around through the ceiling.

At first I was terrified, but then I remembered that it's just the Roomba, which recently started going off at 3am for no reason—perfectly normal, nothing terrifying about that at ALL

follow-up: the preteen had excellent advice

current status: watching a preteen's YouTube video so I can figure out how to set a keyboard shortcut
