(Quick note: I have clearly abandoned all intentions of continuing this as any kind of regular blog about anything. I have no great systems on organizing, cooking, parenting or friendships to share with the world. Actually, I have no systems at all really. But, I do occasionally write weird essays for just myself. Sometimes they … Continue reading Dead Pets
If it makes you happy, tell me about it, please…
Welp, it appears it only takes about three weeks of a pandemic-induced quarantine to make me remember that, for me, the answer to “should I start a blog?” is “wait, you already have one.” Yep. Kind of forgot. In all fairness though, it’s 2020. I figure the way the first few months of this year … Continue reading If it makes you happy, tell me about it, please…
Seasonal slump
Hey, hi. Everyone ok? Great. Oh, me? I'm fine, just trying to figure out how on Earth it's September. October. November! Because, guys, IT'S NOVEMBER. (I actually did start writing this in September. I just haven't been great about finishing things lately. Shocking, I know.) Summer came & went before I even knew it was … Continue reading Seasonal slump
Summer break
So, as the three family members who regularly read this might have noticed, I've taken somewhat of an extended break from posting anything here for a while now. Or, really, putting much of anything anywhere related to social media. Except for the pictures of plants and pretty butterflies that I put on Instagram. With those … Continue reading Summer break
WrestleMania women
It's WrestleMania Day! On this particular day of the year the guys & I hang out together in the living room, except for the two years we were lucky enough to attend in person, and watch about eight hours of glorious wrestling! (This is very different from our normal days where we only watch three … Continue reading WrestleMania women
Spring cleaning…
Or winter. Or summer. Or whatever season it is on this particular day. (Except fall. Nobody actually gets the best season there is anymore.) So far this year I've been spending most of my weekends cleaning out cabinets and organizing stuff around the house because women on the internet told me to. Not Marie Kondo. … Continue reading Spring cleaning…
Short Stuff
I like to handle jumping into my New Year's resolutions much like I do a cold swimming pool. Which is by not jumping at all, but slowing wading in and getting acclimated to the temperature with each step. And then possibly foregoing the whole thing and just enjoying a drink instead. This never-very-successful tactic, finally … Continue reading Short Stuff
Obligatory end-of-year post goes here…
Welp, 2018 is all but done and what a mixed bag it’s been. I’m pretty eager for that fresh start that supposedly comes with a new year. (I typed a letter wrong in fresh & my phone changed it to “trash.” That can’t be a good sign.) Don’t get me wrong, there’s been some really … Continue reading Obligatory end-of-year post goes here…
A grown woman hiding from her own laundry…
I have laundry to put away. It's a lot. A whole lot. I've told Justin the only way I'm doing it is if he gets Netflix going in our bedroom so I can watch The Great British Baking Show while I do it. I'm secretly hoping he doesn't succeed. (For the record, it's ALL my … Continue reading A grown woman hiding from her own laundry…
I HAVE A TEENAGER
(Why yes, I am pretending not to realize that I have all but abandoned writing this thing this summer and am just skipping over all the details and moving on. Thanks for noticing! I will say there’s been entirely too many trips to the funeral home for people close to my family & it’s all … Continue reading I HAVE A TEENAGER
