I’ve been working on a humor web series with my friend (and series creator AND star), Jessica Bern, and the show is going into production soon! Holy cowdogs. At any rate, there’s a scene in the third episode where bloggers are needed as extras and for speaking parts. Here’s the Facebook page for the BlogThis!…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #181: The Prime
The other day at dinner, a friend asked when I thought the prime of my life “happened.” I scanned my memories and tried to come up with an apt answer, which I did, and will post in answer to the below shortly. As for you, when is/was the prime of your life? And…Continue Reading
Oversharing
Sometime this month, I’m scheduled to be on the cover of a local weekly newspaper. I’ve known for awhile, probably about two weeks after my December interview, when the paper’s photographer called to set up my “cover photo shoot.” The fact that I — or rather my blog persona — would be featured on…Continue Reading
A Terrible Waste
I knew it was over when he told me he’d been killed. I received the email at work, the Monday after Thanksgiving, a day usually reserved for catch-up and slowly easing into the week. I grabbed my coffee from the break room like I always did first thing and settled at my PC, ready to…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #180: Another Finisher
This week’s prompt asks that you finish the below sentence with a story or a line or a paragraph: “I knew it was over when…” The “over” doesn’t have to be a relationship, it can be a phase in your life, a job, a party, or a discussion. Or anything for that…Continue Reading
Another Re-Post. This Time About My Hypochondria
The reason I’m re-posting this is because I’ve noticed my hypochondria is waning. I don’t know if this is because I’m too tired to go to the doctor or if I have some kind of brain tumor, but I’m worried. I’m the kind of person who goes to the doctor and then tries to…Continue Reading
Find and Remind
The above could be a life-changer… Hi everyone. I think it’s time I came out of the junk closet, and admitted something to you. It’s not going to be pretty nor savory. Not neat nor clean. Instead, it’s disgusting. Absolutely a blight on my person. Please gird your brains for…Continue Reading
From the Parenting Fail File…
“The day started quietly enough, which is always a tip-off. With two kids around, silence in my house is something to be feared and loathed…” And that’s how my daughter’s descent into amoral seediness began. I wrote about “the incident” in 2010 when it happened, but prettied it up for my Mommy Moment over…Continue Reading
Letting it Go, A Re-Post
Today on Facebook, one of my high school buddies referred to Kairos, which was supposed to be a life-changing retreat us Catholic school girls attended our junior year. It made me think of the below. When I was a junior in high school, I attended a spiritual retreat called Kairos. It was a…Continue Reading

The Lull Re-Post
As for all of you, I’ve been busy to capacity. And so I thought today to publish a post I’d already written, just to show up and say hi. Which is when I found this from a few years ago. I think it works. I’m currently lazing in bed, sick tissue at…Continue Reading
The Dimwitted Adventures of a Dope
You know how you might have a super intelligent friend who is book smart, but a little dim when it comes to stuff like life? For instance, one of my dear friends, an attorney, is very smart and savvy. He wins every case. I would turn to him any day for legal advice. …Continue Reading
