August 15, 2026 – My fur-siblings have no concept of personal space.
August 16, 2026 – Today, Bri and I recorded our 100th podcast episode and I took zero pictures. Instead, when I got home from a busy day, I collapsed on the couch with my book and my cat. (It’s only upon looking at this photo close up that I see a dirty word, so… erm… sorry?)
August 17, 2026 – She is perfection, no notes.
August 18, 2026 – Did I realize right before bed that I forgot to take a photo today so I snapped a quick one of Eloise on my bed? Yes, yes I did.
August 19, 2026 – I felt cute, so I decided to take a selfie.
August 20, 2026 – LOOK AT THEM. I stepped into my office this morning to get my workday started and found them waiting for me. I squealed very loudly about how goddamn cute they are and took a photo. They stayed in their positions for the first hour of my workday and it was so sweet!
August 21, 2026 – Bedazzling book club! This was a lot of fun and not as hard as I expected. Is my bedazzling perfect? No. Could I have added more gems? Absolutely. But this was a good first try, and maybe it’s time for me to get my own bedazzling kit?
I don’t see the dirty word and now I want to know what it is! For the record, I have no compunctions at all about swearing, and – this is a me thing – I seriously don’t understand why people use asterisks in swear words. We all know what you are saying when you say f*ck or sh*t, so just say FUCK AND SHIT. Is it just me? It’s a slight (but very slight) pet peeve. Like if you don’t want to say fuck or shit, just use another word (screw and crap, maybe? Mess and junk? I don’t know). Wait, why am I even talking about this, Stephany, what did this have to do with your post *scrolls up* oh yes, the book! Lol. What are you reading?
Your selfie is very cute. Look at your shiny hair! It’s fucking beautiful (lol, sorry, I am now on a weird coffee-roll). But it is very lovely and you look absolutely beautiful.
Look at your bedazzled pill case! I love it. It feels like it would be hard to do that – was it very messy? I feel like I would make a mess. I WOULD FUCK SHIT UP, STEPHANY.
Goodness. I have to either go back and delete this whole weird comment or post it. What to do what to do. Ah, shit, I’ll post it. xoxoxo
LOL Nicole!!
Tell us how you REALLY fucking feel Nicole!
(Bahahahahaha)
Lol, I want to know what the dirty word is as well! I’m sure that I’ve never heard it or used it before.
You are cute and so is your selfie.
LOLOLOLOL at Nicole’s comment. I’m with her on the wooden swearing. Say it or don’t. Some people say swearing is lazy, there are better ways to express yourself. And sometimes that’s true, but sometimes nothing lands so well as a good shit or fuck, right? When my daughter was little she hated swearing. (She still doesn’t swear much) so I tried to curb my Alaskan upbringing (where one might overhear the preacher’s wife say “it’s 42 motherfucking degrees below out here!”). So, home alone, I stubbed my toe, and instead of yelling FUCK like a normal person, I yelled, “Christopher Columbus!” Which, if you think about it, is a perfect swear word because that man was fucked up.
The photo of your fur siblings all up in your grill cracks me up.
Your cats are perfection and so are you. Your hair is so shiny and perfect — HOW do you manage to have no frizz at all?
I also love your office set up. It looks so tidy and calming. No frizz there, either — TELL ME ALL YOUR SECRETS STEPHANY!
Love your bedazzled pill case! Bedazzling freaks me out, TBH. All those tiny little gems! My hands ache just thinking about arranging them so perfectly! Also, I feel like I would find gems all over my person and home for the rest of eternity.
Really wishing I could heart Nicole’s comment, lol.
Oh, Christopher Columbus! Everyone’s comments cracked me up! I love all your photos! You are so cute, you have beautiful hair and dazzling eyes! Oooooh, I’m so jealous of your bedazzled pill case! If you have to take pills, why not make it a bling occasion?!
Nicole’s comment – haha.
I have seen so much bedazzling lately and while it’s not really my sort of thing… it also looks SO fun. I know people that bedazzle pretty much everything and I’m getting more tempted to get a set. (Which is SO NOT ME.)
A great collection of puppies, kittens, and a selfie. You look so cute!! I don’t take a lot of selfies but I honestly should take more- just to remember how my face looked like at different ages.
I love your work set-up as well- is that chair pink?!
You look great! And your kitties are so darn cute. I miss having a snuggly cat around! We won’t get another cat while Oscar is alive, though. She’s 11 so could be around for many more years. I mean, I am not wishing her away, to be clear. I just know how much our boys would love a cat!
lol about the dirty word. I am reading on my phone so can’t detect anything in that photo!
Love the bedazzled pill case. I am impressed you don’t need one with am and pm compartments!
Love your selfie!! Your hair looks spectacular!
Ha ha, I also can’t see the dirty word but love all the comments!
I love the photo of the cats looking at you in your office. Sometimes I have to laugh when I try to imagine what the cats are thinking of us. I mean, they’re just sitting there and we’re squealing, talking in a baby voice and taking pictures. Hee hee.
So the bedazzling was easy? I guess you use specific tools, you’re not trying to stick the tiny gems on with your hands. I like the final result!
I clicked on this post just for that lead puppy siblings pic, and the rest were so gorge and/or heartwarming too!
You have the coolest book club events and I am sooooo envious.
