One of the things people ask me all the time is why I love the Food Network so much when I am by my own admission a terrible cook. There are a lot of reasons- I am a complicated creature. But here are the top 3. #1 They are a great way to decompress. Most people have at least one… Read more »
People are always surprised when I tell them that blogging is not a cheap hobby. Everyone knows websites for businesses cost money. Most of us know someone who works in web design. So I think it’s funny that no one thinks about that being true for a personal website. Sure, it’s possible to do this for virtually free, but then… Read more »
I’m currently in the midst of having the house to myself for about a week- my husband Pat is on a trip to LA with his buddy. But this isn’t going to be another post about why separate vacations are normal and healthy for couples (although they are both). This is about being alone. Not lonely, but alone. Yes, I… Read more »
2022 was one helluva roller coaster. We have all had a lot of ups and downs. So here’s my high level look back at 2022. The good, and bad and the ugly. The good: My nephew graduated from high school with honors. He is now in technical college studying welding. He is an amazing young man and I am so… Read more »
Hi 16 year old me. It’s 51 year old me. I’m writing you to tell you not to give up. I know things REALLY suck right now. You’re getting bullied as school. You don’t know where you want to go to college. Your best friend seems to hate you half the time. You feel like you are all alone and… Read more »
Some days you just need to curl up in a ball and stay in bed. Today has been one of those days for me. It’s partly physical and partly mental, but either way, I’m not in the headspace to write. Love to all and I’ll be back next week.
We just celebrated Thanksgiving, so everyone is (or at least should) be thinking about everything they have to be thankful for. It’s been a lot time since I’ve done a thankful list, so I think it’s high time to rectify that! Please note these are in no particular order 🙂 #1 Pat. My husband is my best friend and my… Read more »
Today is the third in a series (for lack of a better term) of things you probably don’t know about me! And sure, someone reading this will probably know most of these, but don’t spoil the fun! #1 I hate both heat indexes and wind chills. They are both imaginary numbers. They don’t mean anything. If someone asks you the… Read more »
Some people associate fall with road trips to view changing leaves. Some people associate fall with kids going back to school. Some people associate fall with the harvest. I associate fall with football. I am a huge Miami Dolphins fan. I honestly don’t really remember exactly how my love of this team came to be, but I believe it was… Read more »
There are times when writer’s block is strong. When I stare at a blinking cursor and wonder why on Earth I tell people I love blogging (even though I really do). When this happens I tend to Google things like “fun blog post ideas”. This rarely leads to a good idea, but hope springs eternal. Today one of the lists… Read more »
