This was not the first time I have bought myself a card. I know. It’s extra pathetic. But I vividly remember walking into CVS, looking for a thank you card, and finding this gem. I couldn’t leave the store without it

“Doing good” and other lies we tell
Yesterday I spent most of the day reading a book for the online bookclub I’m a member of. The book was called, “Southern Lady Code” by Helen Ellis.

Mean and Surly
If you’re easily offended, this will not be the post for you. As I’ve said before, sometimes my family gets accused of having a twisted sense of humor, and this will be one of those times. My moms favorite movie (well, one of them) was Kingdom Come with Whoopi Goldberg, Loretta Devine, LL Cool J,Continue reading “Mean and Surly”
It Brings Me Joy
So crank up the tunes. Sing off key. Ride with the windows down. Do the Jeep Wave. Write with colored pens instead of black pens just because you can. Hold hands with someone you love…Find joy in these inconsequential things…
