We all have one. I have a few. It doesn’t leave me feeling very good when I decide to go back and reread those bad chapters again in my mind, yet on some days I’ll reread them over and over again. I’ll relive their shame and sadness for absolutely no logical reason. And just in […]
Social media has been abuzz lately over the issue of whether or not to allow transgender people to choose which public restroom to use according to the gender they identify with rather than the gender listed on their birth certificate. No surprise, people have very strong opinions on the matter and I can appreciate both […]
I had one of those days where the big gray clouds of doubt started creeping in. I confided in a friend how inadequate I was feeling. I told her that I have a business degree, not an English degree. I have only ever worked in advertising not writing. I’m under-qualified. I’ve just had a good […]
Dear 29 year old me, You’re here! You didn’t think you’d live long enough to see 40, but unless something unforeseeable happens in the next few months you will be celebrating the big 4-0 this summer. You aren’t even bothered by it that much like you think you will be now. You are counting down […]
Sports Illustrated came in the mail at my house this week like always. This issue was the swimsuit issue. My husband says if there was a way he could opt out of that particular issue he would, but it comes with the subscription. He said it’s awful because he just hates sexy women with perfect […]
This morning was my bi-monthly hair appointment. I look forward to this appointment because no matter how hard I try my hair never looks more fabulous than when I’m walking away from my hair stylists chair. When I leave from there I’m able to give the illusion to others that I got up early and fixed […]
My kids are home from school today because it snowed. Here in Kentucky it doesn’t require much snow fall to cancel school. They have cancelled school in the past when snow was predicted, before a single flake fell. I’m not complaining. I’d rather not have to get out in the mess if I don’t have to, […]
I’m easily annoyed. It’s the truth. I have more annoyances now than when I was younger. I think lots of it has to do with the older I get, the more people I know. I have social media. Before having it I didn’t really know much, outside of my circle of good friends, about who was getting married, […]
I have a lovely friendsin. I’m sorry if you don’t. They are good to have. The term came to be because she and I are friends, but also happen to be married to men who are 1st cousins…so that makes us friendsins. She is a special lady with a special little boy named Maddox. She […]
My husband use to travel a lot. This meant I was often the solo adult in charge of keeping the children alive. My safety never crossed my mind whenever he was home. I’m not sure what I thought he’d do if anyone tried to break in, but I’m certain he would have taken care of […]
