(Pictured above in the top right, Benjamin Button doing an impression of adulting). When I was a teenager, I was convinced that I was already in my early 20s. I’ve been sort of an old soul since birth, and then I was always with older cousins to hang out rather than friends my own age, … Continue reading Adulting is hard…
“Why does she get a necklace?”
Well, Mom, I made it through today. I’ve never been particularly good at holidays. I always wait until the last minute to buy gifts or groceries or anything else that one needs to celebrate a holiday. I inherited those habits from you. But, I always liked your motto: “I’m not late, I got here when … Continue reading “Why does she get a necklace?”
Why did we stop carrying swords?
It has always been a pet peeve of mine when people ask rude questions, but then I’m the one who ends up feeling awkward as I try to figure out how to respond to them without making them feel uncomfortable. For example, the person on the elevator who recently asked if I was pregnant. Why … Continue reading Why did we stop carrying swords?
My deck has magical powers
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
