I sing out loud most of my waking hours. I hum, I sing, and I reply to conversations and questions with lyrics. Sometimes I am aware, most of the time it is second nature. Today I was reminded twice that I am a songbird. Once, in a simple and quirky way, with a man leaving the office space and returning within the half hour to...
In a flu-leftover fever daze, I stood at the kitchen sink shoving weiners and meatballs down the disposal, watching as the weiners spiraled out of control and finally disappeared. It left me thinking how I have witnessed so many men spiral like that. Body all stupid and astute. Neck stiff, arms seemingly missing until something goes flying across the room, and suddenly the weiner has...
I am well past the point of trying to impress other people, actually, I am not so sure of how close I ever even got to that point at any time in my life. I can be thoroughly unimpressive on the majority of days, an incredibly insensitive woman on others, but now and then, you will catch me on a shining day or at least...
“Cooler” weather has hit, and the proof is on my front porch swing. Normally, I drink my coffee in Bossy inside the garage, tempting myself with an inevitable nap. I ride so low in my car that I cannot see over the hood; my left shoe always slides off, and my foot comes up onto the seat, my knee just trying to see what my...
It’s aliveeeeeee! Following my last major break from writing, I think I addressed jumping back in. Consider this a blanket statement for all my future posts. Andddddd we are jumping. I have spent a few evenings throughout the last few months discussing missing writing and also how, usually, when I am writing something is “wrong.” It often means I am going through something and need...
I have not been a wife for eleven years, but that did not stop me from acting like a Real Housewife (of Anywhere) this Saturday. I “snapped” and I damn near could have flipped the table like good ole Teresa. I feel pretty confident that you don’t have to watch the show; you can catch one of the teasers for the next episode or maybe...
I took a trip. A long one. One very far away from everyone I know, everything I know, and everything I love. I have tried to explain the many facets of why I took this trip and I cannot do it in complete honesty for a multitude of reasons. Mostly, I wish to avoid hurting others, and there are several involved. It does not bother...
I do this thing where I go through the alphabet in my head when I am trying to remember someone’s name and the letter on my “mental chalkboard” gets really big and bold so I know that is what letter their name starts with. So I’m laying in bed last night and I’m going “a, b, c, d…” you get it, the fucking alphabet. However...
I saw a photo on Instagram of a coyote at the beach. It made me remember this one time when I was on vacation and I thought I would try a sunrise out for fun. I hopped in the golf cart, drove from the condo to the beach, and saw a “stray dog” on my way. I pulled over, got out, squatted down low to...
Tattling drives me insane. As if I don’t have enough shit to keep up with, now you bring to me on a golden platter something you know is going to upset me? I never really understood this growing up, like why the hell you mad at me? They are the ones doing/saying it! Confession. I was a bus monitor and the teacher’s pet until about...
Oh, hi again. Man, what a fucking couple of weeks it has been. Lots of good, and some extreme sadness. I celebrated my birthday for a couple of weeks and can confidently say, it was my best birthday yet, and I tragically lost someone I loved very much. Lately, I have been paying attention to the way I am around certain people, things I don’t...
I showered in total darkness last night. In my shower, there is a light that I never turn on because enough light comes in through the skylight and from outside of the shower. Y’all know damn well how I feel about lighting anyway (insert hissing), and besides, no one needs that much light while naked. Last night was pitch black though, I was in one...
I watched this video of a woman who played the accordion while her dog would stand on this lime green fabric office chair next to her, and dance to the music. The lady has since passed away and was being commemorated on Mother’s Day. I took in many different aspects of the video as it faded into a new scene every few seconds. A compilation...
Growing up all the girls got to the cute girly phase where they could bubble their letters and make posters for pep rallies, etc. I just reached the age where the boys were finally bigger than me and me kicking their asses was no longer cute, so naturally, I started practicing bubble lettering. I whipped my skillz out a few years back and both of...
I had a phone call with my momma yesterday. Our calls are long, hours long. We bounce from one subject to another and then back again, crack a joke about everything we learned was better to laugh about than to cry about, and then finally bring it all to a close with five to twenty “I love you’s”. I took my hair down during the...
I have a sick addiction to the results of working out. I always try to imagine the feeling of eating something super unhealthy while at the same time feeling a muscle that is getting more defined. And the muscle or visible bone always wins. Brad said the same thing. Aight, Brad, I see you. I really can find something to agree on with just about...
