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 […]
To go directly to the mixtape click here The hamsters on the wheel in my mind kept me awake last night; this morning I am tired as hell. Sleep deprivation is the ultimate punishment to the body and mind. Don’t do it. Before I began listening I asked him what the “theme” was (or, if he had one). He said “olive branch” I love the song choices he made and […]
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. The definition of project (as follows): proj·ect noun /ˈpräˌjekt/ An individual or collaborative enterprise that […]
My version of the Democratic rebuttal in anticipation of tonight’s Presidential speech. Sidebar: I realize the first paragraph would not be spoken in an actual speech but wouldn’t it be cool if it was?
Around this time (every year), I contemplate going back to school. I love learning. If I had discretionary income (along the lines of lottery winnings), I would be a professional student. With that said, social media has made learning a lot easier. I was able to make the best Lemon Blueberry Scones (thanks to http://www.momontimeout.com) in celebration of the Royal Wedding, and “You Tube University” has reduced the repair costs […]
I want to begin this letter by congratulating you on making it this far. To your parents, who are most likely members of my Generation X tribe, I say well done. I hope that your offspring picked degrees that will get them closer to their desire for independence (and you closer to that man/woman cave that you have always wanted). Members of the class of 2018, as you prepare to […]
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 […]
*****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 […]
