It’s coming up on graduation season. Hundreds of thousands of kids are moving on from high school. And what’s the most common question they get? Some variation on “What are you going to do with your life?” On the one hand, this is very logical. There are a few different paths kids can take after high school- the work force,… Read more »
Today is the day to celebrate your siblings! I have one sister. She is three years younger than me and almost entirely unlike me in any way. She’s calm and laid back. She drives enormous vehicles. She has children. Our politics are different. Our taste in foods differ. Our taste in entertainment differs. But in spite of all of this,… Read more »
Calling someone “woke” is supposed to be an insult. Supposedly it’s someone who’s out of touch and living in some kind of fantasy land. That is hilarious. People who don’t think the LGBTQ community deserve human rights are the ones who are out of touch. People who think women don’t deserve full bodily autonomy are ones who are out of… Read more »
I’ve been talking/ writing about my dearly departed Pumpkin and the always surprising Lilly (aka Lil’ Miss Mayhem) a lot, but today we are going to talk about my BFF Boots. Last week we marked Boot’s 6th “Gotcha Day”. For those unfamiliar, Gotcha Day is the day you adopted/ “got” your fur baby and is the alternative for when you… Read more »
This past week there has been a lot of talk online about Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi announcing their engagement. Yes, Jake is the son of Jon Bon Jovi, but that’s not the reason people are talking. The main conversation centers around Jake being only 20 years old, and Millie only 19. I agree with the majority of folks… Read more »
No matter if you have cats, dogs, ferrets, or something else, today is the day to celebrate your pet! I have written a lot about my cats and everyone who knows me knows how important they are to me. We all went on the journey of Lilly’s pregnancy and babies together and to this day people ask about those kittens!… Read more »
There isn’t much better than a good meal shared with good people. Today I was able to celebrate Easter with my dad’s side of the family including my cousin who lives in Las Vegas and her 5 month old daughter. Granted, the baby had everyone pretty well distracted with her cuteness and newness. But there wasn’t any little digs taken… Read more »
There are days when I don’t think there is any way we can come back together as a nation. When COVID didn’t do it I thought nothing could. But I was wrong. Turns out there still is one thing everyone can get behind regardless of who they voted for or how they feel about vaccines. And that one thing is… Read more »
Why is there a day for those dumb little paper stickers we all hate at meetings and reunions? It’s not REALLY about the tag, but rather the name itself. As more and more of our lives are in the cloud, we become less and less connected to the people right in front of us. Many of us don’t know the… Read more »
Today is a day to put on your Mr. Rogers or your Big Bird hat! It’s Do a Grouch a Favor Day. We all know someone we refer to as a grouch (or something even worse). Because of their demeanor, they aren’t people we typically go out of our way to help. That’s just human nature. But today, think outside… Read more »
