As I purge my house of extra stuff .. I came across an unopened package of pens from 1983... Seriously.... 1983. "Made in America" adding to the novelty of the find. Being a curious (tho dull) gal I had to see if they were still good. Waste not want not and all that.... They are still good! Even the highlighter! My bureaucratic heart is amused.

Ok dullsters, this is how we fill our days. Having got an amaryllis bulb for Xmas, I was annoyed by the rising bud bending towards the window/light as it grew and having to turn the plant a few times a day, so, dull thinking cap on, purchased a small rotating jewelry display platform that rotates once a minute. Result is a totally straight stem and a flower taller than usual. Immensely chuffed. M 49, likes to play it straight.

Can of water my brother gave me from a Cal Fire firefight circa September 2001 based on the canning date. Would not recommend drinking it now, but I hang onto it because I always thought it was cool that Anheuser-Busch changed their manufacturing cycle and donated water from all the way across the country to California to help my brother and his fellow firefighters stay hydrated and safe.

I am a 34-year-old man going back to school after I dropped out during my last relapse (7 months sober now and not looking back). Today, I did my back-to-school shopping, solo, getting myself ready for my three courses starting next week. Digital storytelling, research methods in psychology and a sociology introductory class for funsies.
I bought an assorted pack of Sharpies to add to an already bolstering smorgasbord of a Sharpie collection. I then meticulously labelled them with my name. In the restaurant industry, Sharpie thieves are the most common and hated thieves in that industry. To the same degree as towel thieves - if not worse. In my moment of pride, I sent this image to one of my best friends who has been supporting me on my Journey. He very quickly replied and let me know a series of things:
A. That sharpies are next to useless in college. Almost everyone uses their laptops for everything.
B. Sharpie Thievery is not a common occurrence in college.
C. That the fact I labelled my Sharpies so meticulously made me look like I trusted no one. Not even myself.
D. Just bring a Pen.
Even though he is probably right, I am bringing the Sharpies with me regardless. I will utilize them in one way or another. I am already on the older side of things when it comes to schooling., so why not?
Anyways, I am super proud of myself for remaining sober, getting back on the saddle and continuing to pursue my dreams. And maybe my Sharpie is like me - an antiquated concept - trying to make it in the world. I have a purpose, just like these Sharpies do. Onward to bigger things my beautiful Dullsters.

Perhaps im sheltered but I was at my local butcher shop and saw the thickest bacon I've ever seen. I couldnt help myself and had to buy some. These 6 slices weigh 2lbs! Hopefully I don't ruin it during the cook. And of course...banana for scale.

4 months ago I posted the first photo and got about 42,100 more likes than I thought I would. For all those invested in my little boys growth so far, here he is. He is so amazing. Never thought I’d love being a dad this much. Obviously, banana for scale… cause, what else is a good enough measurement?! lol

I make pizzas for a living.
A lot of them. It may sound less than dull, but after YEARS of dough, sauce cheese, repeat. dough, sauce cheese.. 🥴 I can assure, it can be the dullest thing aside from watching paint dry. Actually some days I’d pick the paint. 😂
Hundreds of pizzas a day some days, miles of cheese spread across countless miles of sauce..
Oh yeah, I was going somewhere with this. 🤣
Very recently I’ve noticed quite often when I pour the sauce from my ladel, I’m presented with a “surprise duck”
I tried to tell others about these surprise ducks to now concerned friends and coworkers. 🤭 SO, I stared keeping my phone 📱 handy (and sanitary, even covered in a clean layer of plastic wrap) to provide evidence of my new pets. 🦆 🦆
I PROUDLY present to you all, my “surprise ducks collection”
None of these ducks have been altered in any way. They are exactly as they appeared when I poured the sauce! I didn’t make them on purpose because I’m simply not that talented 🤣
Size 7 - 29 😉 F USA - no bananas so here’s a banana 🍌 emoji for banana tax

A dull mystery I solved recently:
My neighbor lets me (and my kids) pick her pear tree every year as she doesn't care for pears. The first time I picked it - maybe 5 years ago? - I noticed that the lowest pears on the tree were a lot worse than the other pears: very, very hard, and sourly astringent if you bite them. Also, they're fuzzy on the skin. But the other pears on the tree are perfect, so my kids and I just ignored the "fuzzy pears" and picked the good ones. Well, each year, more and more of the tree is bearing "fuzzy pears." This year, I cut one up and noticed the seed pattern is quite different from the seed pattern in the pears.
Then it finally clicked.
Years ago in Chile, a farmer gave me a slice of fruit called a membrillo. It was sour and borderline inedible, but the farmer said it made good jam ("dulce de membrillo"). I looked it up, and it turns out that membrillo in English is quince, a close relative of pear, and around here (Utah, USA), pear tree starts are often grafted onto quince root stock because it's a hardy and disease-resistent tree.
My neighbor's tree is gradually being taken over by the quince root stock. I guess I'll have to learn how to make dulce de membrillo. (pictured: neighbor's tree, pear and quince from that tree, banana from a different tree, I'm sure)
