Zig-Zag

In a world of straight lines, I am most definitely a squiggle.  I've never been a conformist.  Not one to take much direction.  Definitely don't like being told what to do.  I most certainly don't want anything to do with that cookie cutter life.  I'm a socialite recluse, a lucky 13 and a wandering soul...

the last kiss

I had the absolute honor of standing by one of my best friends this past weekend as she said I DO to the man she met in a lazy river in Vegas.  Talk about finding love in a hopeless place.  The ceremony was almost as beautiful as the bride.  She was a total smokeshow.  It... Continue Reading →

Dog Days are Over

Yesterday was fun.  I got 61 pricks on my back at the allergist.  If you don't know my history with needles, here's a brief synopsis.  When I was four years old, my brother tripped me and I fell and cracked my head open on a hearth just below my right brow-bone by my eye.  This...

Live Loud

I was listening to the radio when I heard the lyrics "When is the last time you did something for the first time?"  And just to be clear, yes, I still listen to the radio.  It's one of the old school things I cling onto.  I also mail handwritten thank you notes,  listen to cassette...

Life in Retro

I don't know how any of you are doing but Mercury is in retrograde and whether you believe in that kind of stuff or not you gotta admit - things have been a little weird lately.  I don't even feel like half of the people I talk to these days have any idea what I'm... Continue Reading →

Sunny-side Up

Jesus died.  April Fool's.  Jesus was just kidding.  Pastels were worn around town like a Lily Pulitzer parade and 'egg recipes' has been the top google search of the week.  Good luck in that house.  Easter has come and gone.  It's April and before I know it I'll be 40 and I still haven't been...

The Rundown

I fell yesterday.  Like a sad middle-aged lady all alone walking without an umbrella in the rain, I went down.  Hard.  It was a banana peel kind of fall.  I imagine it all happened in cartoon fashion.  Most people would probably get up real quick and be all embarrassed.  Nope.  Not this girl.  I just...

Collision

Minus the times my brothers were active in the military my family has always been together for Christmas.  It's my favorite time of year.  These are my people, my tribe, my kin.  Who else is going to finish my mom's tequila and facetime every single person in my phone?  It's truly the best...for about 4...

Tug of Time

In case you need a reminder, it's mid October.  It's that time of year when white girls all over the country eat, drink and breathe pumpkins.  And while they raid stores fulfilling their annual obsession I'm sitting here having a minor panic attack because this year has flown by faster than my relationship with that...

The cell

If we let the world keep on spinning the way it is, before we know it, human contact will be extinct.  Everything we want is literally at our fingertips.  You can order delivery, deposit checks, send a message to a friend while ignoring a call from another, pay a debt via Venmo and confirm your...
