There's a special kind of exhaustion that doesn't just live in your body - it rents space in your soul. The kind that accumulates slowly, over years of being capable - a fixer - someone who keeps moving even when life hands out plot twists that nobody asked for. And now here we are: surgeries,...

Is it me? Am I the drama? Hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.
Just a mish mash of quotes intended to evoke memories of memes and TikToks from days gone by? Perhaps. But looked at through the eyes of someone who has been labeled as too much, they resonate on a much deeper and emotional level. Too much. Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too outspoken. Too loud. Too direct.... Continue Reading →
How to be Cool? Stop telling me you’re cool!
In my longish list of pet peeves, this ranks in the top 5 without a doubt. Over the course of my career (er...life), I've learned one or two valuable things along the way. One of them is this. You know how to tell if someone is really Special Forces? They don't TELL you they're Special... Continue Reading →
Foot puns – They’re good for the sole.
Cringe. Let me set the stage for you. We (darling husband and I) were in the final week of a sugar fast this past February. We had a pretty legit sugar fast "gang" - there were family members, friends, and several less-than-enthusiastic husbands of said friends and family. My brother-in-law was a dedicated member of...

Look Ma! No Boundaries!
Nothing says, "Go start a YouTube Channel," like having 48 followers on your blog! Am I right? I mean, I might as well take another gut punch right to my confidence and bear my soul EVEN MORE PUBLICLY just so I can spend hours putting together content only to obsessively refresh my various accounts to...

What’s your Goldschlager?
There are two things I will never consume again. Two things that will always elicit a physical (and very negative) response if someone even utters the words: Goldschlager and Reuben sandwiches. I just got chills and that nails-on-a-chalk-board feeling. Like, in my soul. We all have these things. Food scars (or drink scars if the... Continue Reading →
Lost in Translation
AKA Three Milk Cake I am excited about this one. Not because I necessarily think I will knock it out of the park with my wit and humor but because it makes me smile and reflect fondly on the little quirks possessed by the people I care about. Speaking of quirks, I've got a lot... Continue Reading →
Crotch-less Panties For Dogs
Look here people, I just call it like I see it. This is NOT my fault. I am in a mood. It is neither good nor bad, it just kind of exists. Which, to be honest, sorta perfectly describes the subject of this post. Crotch-less panties for dogs are neither good nor bad, they just... Continue Reading →

Cupid…over 40
It just hits a little different. Technically, we are still newlyweds. Old (ish) fools at a new game, as it were. I think there are rules for your first Valentine's Day as a married couple and they involve googly eyes, chocolates, champagne...the works. But, as we know, rules are meant to be broken. We decided... Continue Reading →
