Peace is one of those things that can be hard to find in this world. The emotional kind of peace can definitely be a challenge all its own, but there’s also this innate longing I have for there to be a place I can go to hit the reset button. If I had my way, … Continue reading My deck has magical powers

Red Birds
I've never been a bird-watcher. When I see them, I think they’re beautiful, but I’m not someone who puts out a bird feeder and watches to see what happens for relaxation value. This week alone though, I’ve seen a lot of cardinals (Also you should know I think all red birds are cardinals). Probably 7 … Continue reading Red Birds
“May the odds be ever in your favor”
I love one-liners. They can be funny, sarcastic, inspiring…doesn’t matter. But if it can fit in a box the size of a meme, and say something original that makes me feel something, I’m a fan. What I’ve realized lately though, is that sometimes what it makes me feel is anger. A lot of the time, … Continue reading “May the odds be ever in your favor”
“You’re just like your daddy!”
When I was growing up, any time I did something that was sort of sneaky, or involved a bad word, or was sarcastic, or told someone to go away and leave me alone, my mom would shake her head and say, “You’re just like your daddy!” Probably a lot of moms say this when their … Continue reading “You’re just like your daddy!”
Etsy made me do it….
You know how some people deal with their emotions like adults? They journal, and they cry, and they talk to their friends? Well, that’s not me. When I get sad or stressed, I shop. It doesn’t have to be anything big, it can be nail polish. Make-up. New shoes. Just something. I’m very impulsive that … Continue reading Etsy made me do it….
Mary Ann is the big 1-0!
Today is Mary Ann’s birthday. Ten years ago today, at 9 in the morning, I was laying in a hospital bed trying not to hyperventilate as I silently dreaded the spinal anesthesia and thought about how hungry I was. Actually, I thought about that most of my pregnancy. From the second I found out I … Continue reading Mary Ann is the big 1-0!
“You Sit on a Throne of Lies”- An Easter Tale
Have you seen that meme on Facebook about the Easter bunny during quarantine? It says “So….I think we should all be on the same page. Are we telling the kids the Easter Bunny got Coronavirus or that Carole Baskin killed him?” Well, whichever way you decided to go for your own kids, I broke it … Continue reading “You Sit on a Throne of Lies”- An Easter Tale
Yes, I bought myself a card
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. I’ve never really read a book of essays before and I didn’t know what to expect, but it was hilarious. She basically covers everything that southerners say, … Continue reading “Doing good” and other lies we tell
The Ugly Truth
I’m so tired of everything today. Being home from work does that to me. I hate it with all my heart. I know there are some people who are loving it, but I am not. Lately even when I’m at work, the level of “busy” is different because of The Plague, and so there’s still … Continue reading The Ugly Truth
