The Search for Generation X

The "middle child" strikes back

Untitled (or anywhere but)

So… this is my attempt to justify paying the annual fee for this website. This has been a crazy year. It seems like I say that every year. We are days away from 2022 and I don’t know if I should be breathing a sigh of relief that it is almost over or I should just hide under the bed and wait for “the purge”. In January 2021, My husband […]

Procrastination + Self-flagellation = Insanity

I mastered a new form of procrastination.  Start on a project which inspires starting another, which inspires another and so on and so on.  Next thing I know; I am overwhelmed and close to a mental shutdown.  Step one; acknowledging my insanity and breaking the cycle.  This website was (in my mind) the original project.

Members of the class of 2018, as you prepare to […]

Mixtape interruptus…

Last week there was no mixtape.  The mixtape was my accountability tool; it ensured that I wrote at least once a week.  Last week I did not feel like writing. I also did not feel like counting Weight Watchers points, opting instead for a meal trifecta of Publix Hula Hula Macadamia Ice Cream. There comes a point when your own self-hatred gets on your last nerve.  It has prevented me […]

Mixtape – SMDH

*****NOTE: THIS CONTAINS AN AVENGERS INFINITY WAR SPOILER – TO AVOID THIS GO DIRECTLY TO THE MIXTAPE****** The hubby created this mixtape  with Bill Cosby’s conviction heavily on his mind.  As I was pondering how to write about this (and considering if I actually wanted to), suddenly there was news about a campaign to #MuteRKelly.  Then, Kanye West decides to reveal that he and Donald Trump share dragon DNA and four […]
