If you ever want to discover where you are emotionally, put lights up on the Christmas tree and then wait for your mother to come in and tell you everything that's wrong with it. In her defense, she was making a white chocolate mousse cheesecake of some kind but STILL. You know at the science... Continue Reading →
it takes a village
For the amount of times I use the phrase 'I can't wait to tell my grandkids', you'd think I'd have several children. Alas, I don't even have a date lined up. And I waver between being the most okay with it and utterly bored about it. At this point, if he shows up I'm just... Continue Reading →
Merry & Bright
'Hi' she says musically peeking from behind a corner with a mixture of mischief, apologies and trepidation. I know, I know - I ghosted you like a loser who snuck out the window in the middle of the night but is that a 2020 way to end the year or what? C'mon, you've let worse... Continue Reading →
Detained
A friend sent me a video of Christina Aguilera singing the part in Genie in a Bottle 'I feel like I've been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights' on repeat and I've never felt more heard. And if this isn't the cherry on top of the WHO MADE THIS AND WHAT THE... Continue Reading →
Unimaginable
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and yet this year continues to surprise me on a catastrophic level. Today I worked out with a handle of vodka and a magnum bottle of wine. When in Rome, right? Or Indy. Whatever. I tried watching Jeopardy! while working out and just some advice, don't. Not... Continue Reading →
Thanks
I don't know why I'm surprised every year I have to post on Thanksgiving. And yet, here I am, mystified beyond belief. While I have a very twisty relationship with the historical origins of this day, I can step back enough to appreciate the sentiment of being thankful. Personally, I have had some of my...

New Decade, Still Me
Coming to you live from 2020! It's been a minute and I will explain everything. This would have been posted earlier today but someone was learning how to use a drill all by herself. I now have a train station-esque clock set to a permanent 5 o'clock which is ironic as I'm on day 3... Continue Reading →
black hoodie magic
My sister asked me what I wanted for Christmas and the only thing I could come up with was a black hoodie. Love me a black hoodie. I wear mine at least 6 days a week. It's the one consistent thing I do. Grown-up Christmas lists are hard. It really is true - you get... Continue Reading →
Make it Count
I am currently watching The Mistletoe Secret on the Hallmark channel and, truth be told, it should have stayed a secret. Yikes. And if I say that, that it must be really bad because I love romance more than you love your boyfriend. I am a hooker for corny rom-coms but I vote NO to... Continue Reading →
Pura Vida!
Well, I am back. Regretfully and grudgingly. I cried the entire way to the airport. And then I watched Crazy Rich Asians on the plane and cried some more. Coming back to reality has been very strange. I am cold all the time. I don't know what time or what day it is. I actually... Continue Reading →
