Tuesday Things.
1. Do you ever watch cookie decorating videos on Instagram?! Like the sugar cookies with royal icing. Max and I love to snuggle up and watch them for a few minutes at night. They are weirdly relaxing.
2. I just can’t get over this bacon wrapped salmon.
3. We were prepped for a huge snow storm on Saturday and we were so excited about it! You guys. We didn’t even get ONE FLAKE. Okay, sure, when we woke up Sunday morning there was a very light dusting on the grass, but that is it.
4. Okay so I finally watched A Star is Born this past weekend. Yes I thought Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga were amazing in it (especially her – but I had the hardest time understanding him!) and I do really like it, but I felt as if… there wasn’t enough dialogue for the movie or something? I don’t know! Maybe I expected too much.
5. Oh my gosh ANNNND how about A Million Little Things! It’s so good. I thought This Is Us was okay too but I need them to ramp it up a bit. I tried to start True Detective and I just couldn’t. Such a baby these days when anything involves kids.
6. I’ve had so many questions about time blocking and batch work lately after my insta Q and A. This video is a great explanation!
7. And this is the best piece of writing advice! I need to take it. Ha.
8. I have been doing my own version of morning pages and it is incredible. It’s seriously making my day better.
9. How do you draw an X? I’m totally a 7. Who are the monsters that draw like 1 and 2?!
10. There is a fantastic giveaway for a copy of The Pretty Dish along with some other incredible books! Enter here!

I saw A Star is Born shortly after it came out. It was an amazing movie. The one thing I didn’t like? The near-constant use of the f word. I’m no prude but man, oh man, hearing that word all the time was tiresome. Had they not used it so much, the movie would’ve been even better, IMO.
We got some snow, but I was more concerned with the ice it left behind. A Star is Born was a tour de force by Lady Gaga I thought. Lastly, A Million Things is sooo good! This is Us really hit my heart last night…❤️
Re: drawing an x – I’m surprised there are no options for people who make a downstroke, then don’t lift the pen before the upstroke so their Xs have a “bottom” to them.
(I’m a 7, too. I don’t even understand why option 7 is #7. It should be #1!)
My younger daughter and I watch cookie decorating videos all the time. It started out just watching one of my sorority sister’s videos. And then we realized, whoa! she’s the guru of cookie decorating. We watch then all the time. It’s soothing and inspiring. I make groundhog day cookies every year and that should not be videoed.
I didn’t love a Star is Born. Maybe because I was expected too much, but it was just sad. I also saw Bohemian Rhapsody the day before and that was so fun and so good, so maybe that ruined it for me. Now I need to see the Favourite. I’m waiting for the movie scheduled to be released. It’s only playing at the Waterfront and it’s too cold to go all the way there. ;)
3.) We got hit HARRRRRRD here in Ohio.
8.) I’m a 7 as well.

Very, very, very cold, 8 inches of snow, then rock hard icy snow!
Wednesday up to 45 degrees ……go figure this is New England weather!
didn’t see any of those movies….yet.
7 and a lefty.
I’ve been watching the kids bake-off on Food network.
I live up in Montreal. We’ve been freezing since last Friday and have received quite a bit of snow.
Watching cookie vidoes totally made me start my home bakery a year and a half ago!
I was so excited to see Mediterra captured on Instragram and now in this post. The pastries and lattes are to diet for, and it is one of my favorite places outside of the city for weekend brunch!

Agreed on This Is Us! This season has felt like Scandal did to me towards the end – since I knew that they were trying SO hard to shock viewers, those things didn’t shock me anymore. LOVE A Million Little Things!
We got over a foot of snow in Maine on Sunday. It was supposed to have been 18-24″. I really wanted the 24″. Oh well. Please tell us more about your morning pages. I want to do this but for some reason, writing unnerves me. ugh! But then I read the article about writing. Yup – that advice was on point. Sometimes I think the word inspiration is really another word for procrastination.
Watch the 1976 version of A Star Is Born with Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand — the music from that version blows this version’s out of the water. I wore the grooves off the album – yes, I said ALBUM…..that big black vinyl thing that looks like a dinner plate!
Quit watching This Is Us entirely. I just couldn’t. yawn
I loved A Star Is Born, but went in without expectation as I saw it the first weekend. I can see after months of listening to the hype that it could be a bit of a letdown
I am 8 on the x. 7 makes sense to me, as well. The rest? what?!
Your lack of snow is CRAZY to me! I live near Akron, OH (about 2.5 hours away from Pittsburgh) and we were slammed with over a foot over snow from Saturday afternoon to Sunday. And you barely got a flake! Weather is fascinating.
Fellow Akronite. 12 inches saturday and another 2-3 Sunday. it was a mess. and another 2 last night. i am just DONE !
Wait I am SO GLAD someone else had the same reaction to A Star is Born. I was so underwhelmed. I felt like it was missing several chunks of the plotline or something?! Loved the Barbra Streisand version much more – went through a phase where I loved everything she did because of Funny Girl.
I’m an 8 and so is my mom who was visiting over the weekend from Ohio. She barely got on the plane before the storm hit.
I would love, love, love to hear more about your customized morning pages!
im a seven. some of those make zero sense !
I had to stop watching This Is Us. I just got so tired of every should-be-happy-family-celebration getting ruined by drama. I mean, come on, throw me a bone! Also, it’s a whole lot of over-acting, imo.
I’m a 7, but sometimes connect the two, almost like a cursive x when I’m writing fast. Does anyone ever sit down to make a list or address an envelope and realize they don’t even really write that often? It’s all typing and tapping.
