Hubris, thy name is Bronwyn. Remember a few year

Hubris, thy name is Bronwyn.

Remember a few years ago when all the parents were bitching about having the Baby Shark song stuck on repeat in their heads? I remember thinking (somewhat smugly) to myself that at least my children were well beyond the Baby Shark stage, and I wouldn’t have to suffer the theme song living rent free in my brain.

After all, to this day, I still hear (and sometimes sing aloud) the Blue’s Clues mail song if I happen to hear or see our mail being delivered. (Sing it with me millennials and parents of millennials.)

🎵🎶 Here’s the mail, it never fails, it makes me want to wag my tail, when it comes, I want to wail, MAAAAAAIIIIIIIIILLLLLL 🎶🎵

I was so determined to avoid getting another kids’ show song stuck in my head, I avoided listening to it even once. I had no idea what Baby Shark sounded like, and I was delighted by my lack of knowledge.

Fast forward to last Friday afternoon, and after several episodes of Ted Lasso, I’m wandering around the house singing, “Jamie Tarrt, doo doo doo, etc.” And then my son, Corwin, looked at me with his head cocked to the side in apparent confusion.

Corwin: Why are you singing the Baby Shark song?

Me: *blood runs cold* Excuse me, what?

Corwin: You were singing the Baby Shark song.

Me: No, I was singing the Jamie Tarrt song. From Ted Lasso.

Corwin: *shakes head while fighting a grin* Mama…Jamie Tarrt…? Baby Shark…?

Me: *silently counts out the beats of both phrases* Goddammit!

Kitsune would wish you a Happy Caturday, but she’s very busy pouting and glowering at me because I can’t pet her with my right hand.

On the plus side, the carpal tunnel and trigger thumb surgeries were a success.

I saved this in my photos last week, and every time I see it, I laugh. I thought I should probably share it just in case you’ve all had a rough week too and also need a laugh.

Meet my newest nephew, Ranger. He ‘s a VERY good boy who loves ear scritches, snacks, and his mom and dad. I think he might dig his Aunty B, too.

#tbt to last Sunday and my niece’s early birthday present. @just.manda.no.a and I brought her to Iris to get her nose pierced, and they had exactly the jewelry she wanted. Huge thanks to @yungsquishbaby who did a fantastic job—as always. 💞

See this cutie? He got a pacemaker/defibrillator combo implanted yesterday. HUGE thanks to the staff at Spectrum Health’s heart center for taking such good care of my dad and making it easier for him to move and breathe.

On Saturday, I went to my first writing conference

On Saturday, I went to my first writing conference in ages. I was so impressed with the safety precautions taken by the Grand Rapids Region Writers Group. Only 3 people were allowed at each 8-person table, everyone was masked, hand sanitizer, water and individually packaged snacks at each table.

And of course, there were absolutely amazing workshops given by @alexkourvo and @authoryourlifenow. They were exactly the brain and soul fuel I needed to move past the resistance I’ve been experiencing with creating. Plus, they’re two of my favorite people in the whole world. It was such a great day with awesome people.

Last night was date night with some amazing friends and my equally amazing husband. And Cosmo. Cosmo is a very important component of date night. As was this butter beer and almond joy ice cream cone.

I woke up with Bohemian Rhapsody in my head and it’s still here—despite @jones.kayleigh torturing me today with Hall and Oates. And it reminded me of this text exchange with my sister that time that we all went in on a wheelbarrow for our mom’s garden.

See this cat?
Sure, She looks all cute and innocent.
But she is NOT.
Not even close. (Okay, she’s cute. But not even remotely innocent.)

When it’s stupid-hot out, I braid my hair before going to bed in an attempt to feel a little cooler. But yesterday, I had a really bad migraine, and I just didn’t have it in me to braid my hair. So, I piled it up on top of my head with a scrunchy.

This was a mistake.
A mistake I discovered from about 3-4 am.

Kitsune really felt like I should be petting her in the middle of the night. How do I know this? Because the little shit kept pulling on my hair tie with her teeth and letting it snap back against my skull. And when I’d shift and try to keep her from yanking out the scrunchy, she’d attempt to shove her head under my hand for pets.

I FINALLY finished my brother Tim’s Christmas gi

I FINALLY finished my brother Tim’s Christmas gift. My SIL asked me to make this karate equipment case for him to take to the dojo and to competitions.

I only just finished it last week. It didn’t happen for Christmas because I spent December sick with Covid and much of the winter and spring recovering. And then I screwed up my hand. It’s still messed up, but I managed to finish this giant monstrosity. Without all the bo staffs, sais, kamas, nunchakus, katanas, and tekkōs (or as I like to call them, mini bat’leths—because I’m a nerd) the bag weighs almost 17 pounds. It was an absolute bitch to sew without an industrial sewing machine. But...I did it. And he loves it!

And our brother, Martin, really enjoyed playing with with, well...everything. 😂😂😂

You guys! Where are my writing peeps? I have some amazing news you can use!

A while ago, I had the absolute privilege to review an ARC of one of the best damn books on craft that I’ve ever read.

I know that a lot of us struggle with revising. Like, you’ve finished your first draft, and you know you need to revise, but…you’re not sure what. Or where to start.

This book will not only walk you through the process, step by step, it will also entertain and encourage you.

Alex Kourvo and her process are nothing short of life-changing!

Reading The Big-Picture Revision Checklist is like sitting down with your BFF and sorting out exactly what your book needs to take it to the next level (and beyond.) Do yourself a favor, and preorder this baby! You will NOT be sorry. I promise!

The link to order is in @alexkourvo ‘s bio.
