Thank you tons and tons and tons to my awesome step-father, Frank C. Romano Jr, for coming over today and fixing the light in Thomas’ room and the kitchen table chairs!! Thomas has been without a main light in his room since this summer …. the pull chain thingy came right off in my hand when I was trying to turn the light on one night! Let there be light and un-wobbly dinner chairs to place our bottoms!! Love you dude!! xoxo

Lillian is spending the night with The Romano Duo so Thomas and I get to have a day and a half long date! Went for a walk and then played Thomas’ Arcade. This is what he made for the cardboard challenge. Looks easy and simple. That’s what I thought! No way! You have to flick the little balls of tape out the other side. But they get stuck in the tape traps! FUN!

Movie night for the October 2014 Camilla n Thomas date … Love watching this every October. I usually watch it alone. It was fun to watch with Thomas this time. Charge!!!!

Last night I was reminded of something our friend Matt Miller commented while having dinner with us at one of the C18 conferences years ago.

He laughed and said something like, the 3 of you (Team TLC) would make a great realty TV show.

The three of us haven’t done a creative activity together in years. The past two nights we worked on this puzzle together (my birthday gift to Lillian last year).

Imagine 3 neurodivergent folks, one with hand tremors, one with shaky hands, and all with the ability to hyper focus, getting anxious trying to get the right pieces in the right places. It’s like we were playing a game of Twister with our hands. It was cracking me up! And I think it brought joy to all of us! ❤❤❤
We lost one piece along the way somewhere. Maybe Basil knows where it is.

After we finished, time stood still for a moment as I watched Lillian walking around the house half-naked, like it’s no big deal and totally normal, Thomas frantically working on a deadline, and me making songs out of everything. Totally normal stuff, right? Ha!

Like the neighbor walks by with their dog. I finally remember the dogs name, Mickey. So then I start singing, Hey Mickey, you’re so fine, Hey Mickey, Hey Mickey. Then I have to look that song up and add it to my walking playlist.
Love my life.

Chad Basil the First Share’s Thoughts for 2023 and 2024

I asked Basil his thoughts for 2023. He says as long as you relaxed and cleaned your paws, it was a fabulous year! 🎉🐾🎉

Chad Basil the First has declared 2024 to be The Year of Smoked Salmon. He had smoked salmon for the first time last night. Let me just say, it’s a good thing he can’t actually talk because he would have been begging us for more. As long as he gets to have more smoked salmon this year, he will be HAPPY!! 💯🎉💯

Thomas made spicy, Parmesan pretzel rods and macaroni salad. I’m having a hibiscus gin & tonic (yum) and we’ve got different cheeses, apple, pear, chips, dips, and smoked salmon for later, followed by some bubbly. Feels like there’s the perfect movies to go along with these. 🎉

Slight correction. “…. My Grand kitty’s little forehead, bro.” Isn’t he so cute with that lil white mustache? I’m out y’all. See you in 2024! 🎉💋🎉

“Thank you for last night. You make things better.” -Lillian Darnell …..

That’s the way to bring a girl right back into the present moment, I tell ya!! Love that girl! Lillian has a nasty cold. I pulled the rocking chair into her room last night so she could sit in it and watch Barbie movies and then I sat in the chair and held her. That’s what a Mama is for right? Mama = Comfort

Team TLC movie night – “You Can’t Take It With You” …

“Fun, funny, crazy, silly, feel good stuff and right on – ‘It takes courage to LIVE life!'”, says me.

Thomas says, “Good, awesome, good music, amazing.”

Lillian says, “Good, awesome, musical, nice, and fabulous.”

This is our second time watching this one and we loved it just as much as the first time around.
