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...
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...
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 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 had a smidge of an attitude lately. The boys and I go to the park for little walk and talks, and on a particular day last week, we all were a little grumpy. It was humid, and I am rather dramatic about the humidity and heat. I often swear I will not survive it, yet somehow I always do. We moved the walking...
