Click the link in my bio and Stories to read the post. #substack #blogsofinstagram #gilmoregirls The third annual Roomie Awards have arrived on Taking Up More Room, and we have some doozies this year. Click the link in my bio and Stories to see some of the winners. #blogsofinstagram #substack #roomie Eh. This is just weird. Work starts back up tomorrow. I'm ready but I'm not ready. Another couple of days would be great, actually. 🤷‍♀️ #endofvacation My review of the last episode of "Stranger Things" is up on Taking Up More Room. Who's seen the finale and what do you think? Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #strangerthings5 I highly recommend this museum! Would have taken more photos except that we were having a great time talking to our tour guide. It's really fun. #grassvalleycalifornia #museum #roadtrip Hmmm. I think they're trying to tell us something. 🤔 #quirk #roadtrippin #tacobell #humor #callofnature Happy New Year! We're not quite done with 2025, though, because my first post of 2026 is up on Taking Up Room, and it's a Substack recap. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #movies Who else feels me on this? January first is a funny day for site stats. #newyearsday #bloggers #sitestats
