Free 💡: someone talented should record a good cover of Dire Straits “I want my mtv” but change it to “I want my NPR”

It’s not far, but it’ll be weird without my buddy around here once in awhile. 😭

Oatmeal cookies - Luke’s fave recipe. He’s moving out Tues for college and mentioned them 💖

Baking after a little happy hour and it’s a bit of a gamble because I’m not sure how old this baking soda is…

I can see that, but not one of these girls have a blemish

In Sephora today - just me and about 50 8-13 year olds shopping. I’m honestly not even sure i knew the word “skincare” at that age.

I think I may have lucked out.

Hooooboy I forgot about this app somehow.
So hiiiii

My doc prescribes medication for me, pharmacist calls me.

pharmacist: I’m going to charge you the cash price of this prescription because I think that’ll be better for you if that’s ok.
Me: what does that mean?
Pharmacist: Cash price is $43. If we go thru your insurance, it’ll cost you $147.

Call Cory Booker’s office today to thank him for making his marathon speech. His office numbers are (973) 639-8700 or (856) 338-8922 or (202) 224-3224.
CALL the 202 number - it looks like his home office VM is full. 🫶

Its a good show when days later, you find yourself humming some of the deep cuts they played, going back to listen to old albums and remembering old loves you had perhaps forgotten but are woven into your conscious. Crazy to still know words to songs you haven’t heard in MAYBE DECADES.

I genuinely don’t think the western half of the country can be judged on the mean/nice axis because its most salient characteristic by far is being incredibly weird—sometimes in a light way, sometimes in a dark way. If you don’t think it’s weird, I question how much you know about it.

The kindness of other women, especially when it comes to sharing stories about men…. Is undefeated.

Girlfriends > all.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head.

They’re not even hiding it.

Oh you say inflation jumped by 3%?
You can’t blame Biden or Obama for this one ….

BREAKING: We are suing Musk & DOGE for violating the constitution

He’s totally trying to start a war with Canada and he thinks he’s going to make Americans be ok with it.

Couldn’t say which cabinet pick has been the worst yet, but RFK might be the one that causes the most death. Wish I was joking

Sees news.
Oh great. More like make America sick again.

because the only thing worse (esp during these times) about seeing your adult child in medical crisis, may be seeing them feel “less than” for who they are.
I’m so grateful as a mom for this small thing. 💕💕💕

We have seen doctors a LOT already this year and while our healthcare system may be 👎, I have to give kudos to all of MHealthFairview folks we’ve come in to contact w the last 2 months for the respectful caring way they have addressed pronouns etc.
I honestly felt like they really care and it’s ♥️

Men of profoundly underdeveloped spirits, minds, and perspectives are running the country.

That’s the thing. She is an amazing human (like yourself, Kristin!) and it kind of shows on the outside too… ♥️

Right? Honestly, as much as I kinda have to self promote for my own page, etc - my preference is ALWAYS this side of the camera. I love making people feel a bit relaxed, good about themselves, etc. 💕

Ugh I’m sorry that’s a great way to ruin school for a kid :/

A couple more of my faves… how is this woman NOT A MODEL?

Hi friends :) I do social media for a few diff small businesses + my fave thing is when some of the people that work there trust me to take their pictures. ♥️
But look how easy they make it. Older women often don’t know how gorgeous they are. Let’s change that.

A to do list for my winter.

@amybrendmoen.bsky.social best bio I’ve read in awhile ;)
