Rise Up

I don't know about you, but I need a reason to smile.  With everything going on in the world around me, I'm not sure whether to put together a survival kit and start a revolution or to follow my heart to Australia and make it official.  What on earth is happening?  Where am I?  It's...

catch me if you can

I have had a whirlwind of a week.  Did a little brunching, did a little wine tasting, did a little line dancing, did a little celebrating, did a little sun tanning in 110 degree weather.  Also, a bartender tried to kill me.  He failed...but A for effort.  This time of year is a bit crazy...

Midwest Heart

If you follow me on social media, you know that I've been in Chicago and that my heart is FULL.  Man oh man do I love that town.  I moved to Chicago on a whim after I graduated college, which now feels like a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.  Ugh, getting... Continue Reading →

Prison of Love

I recently read a book for my book club called Behind Closed Doors, which I chose and profusely apologized for afterwards, in which this (idiot) woman is basically being held prisoner by her psychopath husband.  Spoiler alert, this (idiot) woman marries this man before she realizes he's a lunatic who murdered his mother and is...

the way way back

Blasts from the past.  There really is now way of avoiding it when you meet up with old friends, which is what I did the other day.  Names came up that I haven't thought about in years.  Old roommates, apartments, past relationships and jobs - you name it, we talked about it.  It seemed like...

Invisible

Everyone wants attention.  I don't care what you say.  You may not want the spotlight on the daily but you definitely crave some sort of light.  Humans actually fall into a funk when withdrawn from light for long periods of time.  It's called seasonal depression and it's a very real thing.  As much as I...

Reach For It

It's hard to tell yourself to reach for the stars when you throw out your back reaching for the paprika.  This is a true story folks.  I simply reached for a spice and everything changed.  I swear I'm an avatar and someone out there is getting a giant kick out of all of this.  If...

Bye Bye Bye

I have been told several times in the last few months that I need to clean out my closet.  Both literally and figuratively.  So now I do this thing where I open it, stare at it and then close it again.  'For another day' I tell myself.  That's basically my M.O. when it comes to...

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...

Since you’ve been gone

I spent most of last year dealing with a breakup.  Saying that out loud is equal parts embarrassing and relieving.  Embarrassing because it's like making plans with a friend a few months in advance and all of a sudden that person is like "I don't want to do THAT!  I mean I do, but not...
