What a difference 26 years makes in my ability to party... Endymion is still the best parade at Mardi Gras tho!

It's totally normal to have the urge to hide under the covers when you find a big, gross house issue. (Say....that the back mud porch you've always known, in your heart, is rotting away, actually IS rotting away.) That's an appropriate response, right? RIGHT?

Did you know librarians are legally obligated to go to Trinty College when in Dublin? I follow the letter, if not the spirit of the law.

I hate to say this, but I did NOT become a librarian to catalog things. But here I go....

@LouisatheLast This was my EXACT argument to a family member! "Our family was also taught not to be a jerk to people...."

The secret to negotiating is to stop viewing it as a batttle/war. I need my vendors. They need me. And who wants to work with an asshole? Everybody check your insecurities at the door please. #librarythoughts

@QuintonLucasKC Is that Mrs. McBride???

After a long day of travel, there was nothing more special than bumping into my high school debate teacher at KCI. I got to thank her for teaching me to talk, which I’ve used in more than a few places. Y’all gotta blame her! There’s no place like home.

Week #3 of my summer intern starts tomorrow. I'd forgotten how amazing and exhausting it is to watch a bright, capable person tackle a clearly defined project with vigor & excitement. I couldn't be happier so far.

My (not so) new job requires me to negotiate e-resource subscriptions. I'm an old hand at negotiating, but taking a course on digital licensing recently really helped me hone in on a new set of evaluation metrics. Never stop learning! @SLA_KWM

Gotta say...this part of House on the Rock TOTALLY delivered....

@DrSamiSchalk You can also just pick the green ones and let them ripen in a bag/box. We do this every year with big (and small) tomatoes and we typically have fresh tomatoes thru late Nov or early Dec.

Is there a travel agent that specializes in trips to foreign lands where people just let you into their houses and cook amazing family meals for you and tell you about everyday life there? That should be a thing.

Never thought following #wyoming on Instagram would give me so much insight into Kanye West's new album....

@tressiemcphd At the very least, you left Memphis out of this Twitter-versy.....

@LDBurnett Similar, but different, the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming has all the Montgomery Ward catalogs, should you need them....

Hard emotional days that end with a haircut call for rose, beachy curls, and a quick drive with the sunroof open and #lizzo blasting...

Jfc. Every candle I own now is scented. Lilac+Christmas time+French vanila+warm&cozy(???)=🤢

I made meatloaf for the first time in ...oh....25? years? CRUSHED. IT. I tell you what. Just ignore 95% of recipes and do what feels right. (Glaze was a ketchup/asian garlic chili paste and a BUNCH of spices. PERFECTION.)

@nelson_atkins Totally. And getting to see @williams_kaylaJ experience for the first time when she was 8? Hands down one of the best aunt moments I've had.

It's artist Duane Hanson's birthday, born Jan. 17, 1925 #onthisday. Fess up--did you think "Museum Guard" was a real person the first time you saw him?

@jessloveswine @tressiemcphd If my grandmother asked "do you want some ice cream?" and you responded "what flavor?" She'd often say "you dont want any ice cream." And that was that.
