If you ever want to know something, just ask. I promise I will tell you anything. I’ll even tell you stuff you probably don’t want to know. I have never understood the “proprietary knowledge” that some women seem to have and either are not transparent about or won’t share. How […]

Disney World During Covid
We did it. We went to the happiest place on earth. We went to Disney World during Covid. There. I said it. I haven’t posted pictures. I haven’t done a review of our trip. I didn’t really even tell that many people where we were going. (I did make some […]
Coping with Covid
Hello, all you fellow readers, No, I don’t have Covid. I just have been personally traumatized by Covid. This is my story. I am utterly embarrassed by my lack of writing. Moreover, I am embarrassed at my lack of WANTING to write. I have about 10 drafts sitting in the […]
This is What Happened to My Face
The other day my Dad happened to run into a high school friend of mine. My Dad wasted no time telling me how great my friend looked, commenting that it didn’t look like she had aged a day since 18. Then he added, with a chuckle, “What happened to you?” […]
Cheers to 20 Years
January 28, 2000. Picture it. I was a Junior in high school. Bill Clinton was visiting Quincy to speak and my high school was letting students out of school that Friday afternoon to attend. I went to Quincy with my friends and instead spent our free afternoon at The Buckle […]

Friendsmas 2019: Gingerbread Contest

Crappy Dinner Party 101: How to See Your Friends MORE
Last month, I tried my hand at a crappy dinner party. We’ve been battling some minor illnesses, fatigue, and overall low morale. We are knee-deep in a busy schedule that I imagine will only get busier as our third (and final) child starts his own activities. We haven’t had as […]
Cake Complex: Happy Birthday to Shawn
The mayor turns 39 today and fun me thinks that we should be dancing in the streets or maybe have a small parade. But alas, no. Tired, old, and boring me thinks instead of a parade, he will get handmade cards, some haphazardly wrapped gifts in boxes from the recycling […]
May: Nailed it or Failed It
I just can’t muster much of anything this month. I am DEFINITELY out of it, running on fumes. I’d love to recap this month in a cute, lovely way for ya’ll but I don’t have it in me. What should be my favorite month is not because of the ridiculous […]
