It was September of 2017 so you'll forgive me if there are large gaps in my memory - I can barely remember if I've had one or five cups of coffee (it was five. it was definitely five.) in the morning and now we're talking about something that happened almost four years ago. There are... 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 →
Death and Exotic Dancing
I bet you're wondering where this is going. I bet it's also not at all headed in the direction you think. He told me he wished I had died. In a fury of text messages after telling him there was no possible way he could actually be in love with me - that it was... Continue Reading →
Situational Awareness in a Modern World
What can you do to stay safe(r) online? Being security conscious is a part of my DNA. In college, I studied Criminal Justice and Psychology - thinking I'd be the next Clarice Starling or Dana Scully.

Cupid…over 40
It just hits a little different. Technically, we are still newlyweds. Old (ish) fools at a new game, as it were.

We decided... Continue Reading →

What’s Fair?
Moving forward when it seems like the bad guy won. To throw a pity party or march forward into this world of opportunity? Sometimes it feels almost gluttonous to ruminate over days gone by, circumstances out of your current control, situations and actions you can't undo....people you can't (and never could) control. Other times, it... Continue Reading →
Hiatus? More like vanished!
Insert excuses here. I left a little extra space there because my excuses are vast but honestly, my lack of blogging all boils down to a choice. How's it go again? "I don't have time" is just another way of saying it's not a priority. Has a lot happened in the last several months? You... Continue Reading →
“We teach best what we most need to learn”
-Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah And just like that, I am 16 again. I remember reading, "A Bridge Across Forever," when I was in high school but many will recognize the name Richard Bach from his most popular book, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." I still remember how I felt when I read... Continue Reading →
Grateful to be Broken
'Tis the season to be thankful so, here I am giving thanks for all the terrible moments that almost broke me and in some cases, left permanent scars. Gotta love a sense of irony - so, thanks world for absolutely shattering me on so many occasions that I was starting to feel like the Book... Continue Reading →
