Inquiring to know if there is a very specific kind of pest control available in this world to handle a massive ant hill that is also spouting equally massive ants. And, no, my coffee isn't spiked. I almost wish it was.

So far they've all been running into the rest of the forest but two tried to climb Darla, scratched it up, and then were deterred by the pride of roaring cats we've got here. Please be careful out there for those working Defense. They look strong.

Soooo... if anyone wants to come help round up some of these tentacle cats at Boyd's that'd be great. I counted at least eight, possibly more. Five for sure have run off somewhere in the shop with various tools which I'd love to get back to, you know, do work. Menaces. Completely adorable, but menaces still the same.

After taking some Tylenol (I cannot handle an extra glass of wine like I used to, not because re-lived my college years somewhere out in the city) to nurse this stereotypical New Year's headache, I realized that this month marks my sixth month here. I keep thinking this place is going to kick me out like it has the first two times. It's definitely the longest I've been here, and while I miss the two main males of my life, I'm grateful to still be around.

But this sense of staying around long-term has made me realize that I need stable employment to spoil people with. Please see this shameless photo of who I am in need of spoiling. It's both of them.

Background: Military, NASA, Engineer, Astronaut, space-traveled, crash-landed on another planet a galaxy away from Earth, married the prince, became queen, did a lot of politics and sword battle. I enjoy getting my hands dirty. I also enjoy wearing jeans again versus the royal garb.

Would anyone have any leads on some kind of mechanical work? I'm a bit rusty, but I've retained a lot over the years, and if I can successfully figure out the kinks of a one-thousand-year-old spaceship that needed oil changing, I can most likely translate that into smaller vessels.

Well, that was fun. Kind of dramatic but fun. And I guess now we have an engagement video, in a way?

Anyway, good luck to everyone out there participating in the race! Catra and I have plans to stay right here and soak up all the Finn time since we were Hallmark-ified for four days. But we're rooting for you!

I guess it was my turn to be left behind.

Is everyone else okay?

I woke up to a post it note from my older self saying I owe the kids brunch for being "what THEY would say an embarrassment, but don't listen to them".

So come get your waffles and bacon I guess?

Adam and I woke up to a little person at Grayskull this morning. He tackled me in bed to wake me up and asked why Daddy and, which wasn't startling at all. His name is Dare, and he's your nephew/grandson.

Catra, did I see that you've aged up?

TEXT MESSAGES TO CATRA:

» Two things:
» 1) Do you want me to stop by the maternity store and try to grab more nipple creams later?
» 2) Do you think Baby Shark is ever going to leave my brain?

TEXT MESSAGES TO MARLENA:

» Who called you a GILF and do you
» Hi Mom! Did the job search work?
» The DOA has people here to help if you really want to find something.

Hey everyone! Hope you've all been having a great fall.

It's been a long time since the last time we did a team building camp out, and we've got a lot of new team members to break in, so I figured 'hey, what better time than now, before it gets too cold out?'

Would you guys be interested in doing another camp out? Sometime in November, I thinking, if anyone has any particular days that work best for them. Marshmallows and hot dogs over the fire. Maybe roast a boar if Kratos wants to lead another boar hunt?

And I was thinking we could finish it off with the Wild Hunt. Last year, one of the beasts from Preternia followed me

Hey, Mom. So you're uh... looking for new chicken soup recipes, huh? Did you forget the Is that why the soup you made was so Are the ingredients in Vallo diff

I have a very important announcement, everyone. As of last night, one Catra Applesauce Rainbowfist-Meowmeow (yes, that is her full, official name) has decided that she... wants to have a birthday party this year.



(I know, I was also shocked.)

In order to make my beautiful wife's dream come true, I'm going to book a room at Level Up Lounge in the city for Friday, October 27th. They've got a big room that holds fifty, so I think I'm going to grab that one because we know how weird Vallo likes to get in October. I'm looking into either a buffet set-up or catering, but there will definitely be food and lots of cake. They have plenty of kid-friendly games so bring your little ones!

Let me know if you're planning to join us!

The third time. This isn't a complaint, but more so of how I wish this place would make up its mind of how long it keeps me here. [...] Vallo, your forest is a bit more temperamental than I recall? I popped in and fought off an onslaught of vines and rocks.

Anyway, hello again. I'm Marlena, mother of a set of adult twins that are known to fight in a loin cloth (Adam, please tell me you did something about that) and a golden tiara (Adora, please tell me I'm a grandmother) while they're over six feet tall.

Hope this place hasn't traumatized the lot of you too much and that you're all taking your vitamins.
