In Defense of the Marching Band
The marching band is a running joke. It’s supposedly where the freaks, geeks, and other assorted losers hang out. Mention it and you’ll likely get NSWF quotes from the American Pie movie series.

Surviving My Niece’s Teenage Era
Anyone who knows me even a little knows that my niece and nephew are my heart. I love them almost as much as I would if I’d actually given birth to them. Luke is 21 and that is really hard for me to comprehend. I feel like it was just a couple years ago I held him at his baptism… Read more »

Self-Care For Less!
One thing everyone can agree on is that it’s hard to find joy in today’s world. The cost of health care, food, and everything else keep going up. National and international politics are a shit show. The planet is becoming less and less hospitable to human life. The list goes on. Yet in spite of all of this, we do… Read more »
National Good Samaritan Day
This is another one that is super easy to celebrate- it’s Good Samaritan Day! Even if you’ve never stepped foot into a Sunday School class you’ve heard the story of the Good Samaritan- the looked down upon outsider that stood up and did the right thing when all the supposed upstanding citizens looked the other way. We can all be… Read more »
