Picked up a $7.50 beginner cross stitch kit.
Spent the first 20 minutes just learning how to thread the needle, only to realize the needle itself was busted.
Finally got about 50 stitches in, alongside some frayed thread and a whole stitch in the wrong place.
More stitches coming soon. Hopefully they form the right design!

Is This Anything?
Me, doing a project I'll call TUTORIAL COMPLETE. The goal is to try everything, but just once. Not to master it, not to monetize it (though covering the cost of the next attempt wouldn’t hurt), just to learn the basics and move on. Maybe I’d post a photo or a quick line when I finish each “tutorial.”

"In 2023, StatsCan released a comprehensive study on the cost of having a child, putting the average at a gobsmacking $350,000 over 17 years. ... All of these stats come from data collected in 2017, which means it doesn’t account for a 30 per cent rise in the cost of living over the last seven years or the current real estate market."
Those publicized predictions about the coming of 'The Singularity' neglected to mention that 'The Singularity' would just be a personal experience. #OneAndDone https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2024/tesla-full-self-driving-fatal-crash/

The 13th season of our One & Done fantasy golf season is now underway. Over 200 participants, from 5 different countries, regularly compete from January to the end of the PGA season (Tour Championship). Twice I've won back my entry fee of $25, coupled with 10 years of generally shitty performance. Last year I finished 162nd. But #13 was my jersey number in hockey so maybe this is my year. I chose Cam Davis this week and hoping for a good start.
No for all those whove asked, barstool van talk will not be returning. #OneAndDone #JustMyThoughtsAsASportsJunkieRegalrdlessMyOwnSportIPlay

Oh wow, y’all are right. Outside of that little jam piece at the end, #etheredge I hope is a #oneanddone I’m hoping the fate of this song is that, “it rolls away.” Positive note: add to the pee break collection #phish

I'm enjoying the Netflix show Daybreak, not sure how it went under my radar since 2019, but of course it's only one season.
Such is the state of streaming services.
Wie ich nur kurz zur Post wollte, im Hausflur der Boomer Nachbarin begegne und dann zwangsläufig wieder ein "Sie MÜSSEN aber noch ein zweites Kind wollen" Vortrag daraus wurde. Meine Argumente dagegen zählen natürlich auch nicht. Puh ey. #oneanddone
Generell andere Menschen über ihre Familienplanung auszufragen und zu belehren stirbt mit dieser Generation hoffentlich aus.
During our walk, we walked by a little toddler who was clearly having a meltdown in front of his mom (poor guy!). And I was just thinking to myself, I’m so happy we agreed to having one kid. I don’t think I could do this all over again. Yes, my kid has tantrums, like any other kid, but it’s more manageable w/ one. There’s something to be said for knowing your limits and putting peace and happiness above societal pressure. #oneanddone #oneanddoneparenting
This is what happens after 11 hours of meetings, including two solid morning hours of tension-filled discussion charged with emotion and a public hearing to end the night. The evening called for a Smokey Vodka Martini featuring vodka from Raincity Distillery.

The #toddler stage gets a lot of flack but it's mostly wonderful? The infant stage to me was... something to grow out of. But toddlers? They start to develop little comedy bits and find the most random things funny. You see their brain growing. Every day they know something new. It's amazing. And they're so sweet. My two year old has started spontaneously saying things like "I'm your big boy, mama? Forever!" 😍😻
I was #OneAndDone with a baby, but I'd take more of these toddlers!
Troubled that we decided to only see the Phish on the 29th.
And I’m totally ok with it. Floors on the 29th with our friends will be enough.
At this point, it’s not a priority to experience one more night.

We are #parents of an #OnlyChild and about 80% of the time we are in the #OneAndDone camp...
But when we're not I find it's usually because I am enjoying the current stage so much and feel like a.) I want to do it again and b.) I'm not ready to have my son grow out of that stage, which don't really feel like good reasons to make a whole human!
You always hear that parents who choose to have another child just "knew" that their family felt incomplete or someone was missing, but that doesn't make sense to me. I feel like I can "see" a future with just the one kid, and I can "see" a future with two and both possibilities have equal potential for joy, fulfillment, tragedy, loneliness, etc.
So.... If you are a parent who has multiple children, what motivated you to have more?
ok how do I get this stuff on my feed?
