Haven’t been on here in a long time.
Just to update you all on my life…
I moved to CT, and now there are alpacas living down the street from me

!!! Just found out that one of my poems has been selected for a local poetry trail.
It’ll be engraved on a plaque in a spot where people can read it as they walk the trail
Pretty darn cool!!
This is my child 😂

I’m trying to be less picky because grocery shopping has been too much for me recently 😅
But my shopper today didn’t get a critical ingredient for the dinner I was going to make (refunded it with no attempt to replace it)… and that was annoying to find out later
I don’t want to be that guy™️ but I would be willing to pay more money to have a female instacart grocery shopper
Every time a guy does it, he ends up refunding things with no notice or attempt to replace things + giving me moldy/excessively bruised produce 🫠
Me in the winter
So sorry 😭 what a missed opportunity lol

One of our best friends from church might move 2 minutes away. The start of the Confessional Lutheran commune is imminent 👀
This is the first year my Spotify Wrapped was completely wrecked by my kids’ music taste

It had to happen eventually
(walking up to don quixote) hi i’m a huge fan
don quixote: *eyes narrowing* you’re a What?
Yeah, I think the ideal situation for him would be just to be on Substack, but that’s not really possible. I know he’d love to get rid of Twitter entirely someday—again, not really possible lol
Definitely not. He refuses
So, @lalalisacooper.bsky.social has a new book of poetry out ... "Hasty Corporeal Ink". Worth a read!

What’s your favorite poem??
In expectation of @lalalisacooper.bsky.social's forthcoming book of poetry I picked up a book with my favorite poem in it and was reminded just how little I know about the technical aspects of poetry. So many things I don't understand about why things are formed the way they are.
Officially available Tuesday (November 19th)
I’ll be back then with links and things. So excited!
Tonight marks the first time I’m dealing with the “mom, it’s almost bedtime but I need help with a project for tomorrow.”
Thankfully it involves making food, and I am ✨so prepared✨
Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment:

2) water bottle AND coffee in a travel mug
3) v5 pens (the best pens)
4) leuchtturm notebook + paper planner
5) NKJV note taking Bible
Where are all my confessional Lutherans at?
Thank you!! I’m so excited about it 🥲
I’m known for being Jordan Cooper’s wife + being the Lutheran Twitter Khatun
Posting the ✨ COVER REVEAL ✨ of my upcoming poetry book. It features a painting by the incredible Mickey Haist.
