Hope You’re All Well
Goodness, I’ve missed you. Come back soon for when I wonder aloud if I have a drinking problem. Meanwhile: Stay thirsty, my friends. It doesn’t have to be for alcohol. Although if you’re me, it probably is. But I’m getting ahead of myself. So for now, here’s a re-posted…Continue Reading
Next Week For Sure
Thank you for your input. This whole exercise in thinking I’m always right reaching out to the community for backing up of my less popular opinion feedback has been very humiliating valuable. I’d also like to thank The Rock for his gracious acceptance of being right. When he first said that most of America…Continue Reading
Settling Christmas
Please help me out here. Someone in my family thinks that his tradition is overwhelmingly practiced across America, and someone else in my family thinks that her tradition is more common and awesome. So: do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? I will reveal the less awesome Christmas tradition practicer…Continue Reading
Pieces of Advice(s)
Tip #1 If you like to go thrifting, and your hunting and pecking takes you to the book section, which is just across from the public bathroom, take a deep breath about five minutes prior and hold it for the duration of your stay. In case of pass-out, be sure to wear a med alert…Continue Reading

Lex won the Kookeys! FADKOG won the Tracksters! That’s all I got today. Seriously. You’re lucky you got the exclamation points.
In the Spirit
I do this thing where I’m sure I’m not doing enough for the kids and so rope The Rock into nefarious schemes to make me feel more parenty. This past weekend, I thought we should be doing more holiday things, so I scanned the Internet and found a community theater production in a quasi-questionable…Continue Reading

How To Write
Instead of reading this, why don’t you enter my giveaway? I’d erase this post altogether, but that would be in direct opposition to my Tip #1 included below, in the midst of this drivel I’d rather you ignore. How to write. I ask myself this question almost every day. Because I overthink, and because…Continue Reading
Stocking Stuffer Giveaway
Still need to fill up your kids’ stockings? Let me help. Because I’m very solicitous and hospitable like that. I’m giving away two Kookeys and two Tracksters, which are perfectly-sized for Christmas stockings. Unless you bought tiny stockings. Which in this economy, who could blame you. I hope you win these prizes then. …Continue Reading
Full Circle
The Dream I’d applied cucumber-cranberry mask to my eyebags and when I looked in the mirror, I happily saw my bags had retracted so completely that they were concave, as if someone had scooped my eyebags out with a teaspoon.
