525,600 minutes

I'm a daydreamer and a night thinker.  I always have been.  I sleep with one eye open, which might be because I have FOMO or maybe because I have PTSD from when my apartment was broken into while I was sleeping but most definitely because my OFF switch has been disabled.   I may look dormant,...

What Doesn’t Kill You

Ladies and Gentlemen, stop what you’re doing.  The World Cup kicked off this morning and everything is right in the world again (this is me completely ignoring the fact that the U.S. didn’t qualify because we have a team of bagoons.  Viva Mexico).  But seriously, I have had an epiphany.  We have got to find...

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...

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...

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...

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  Humans actually fall into a funk when withdrawn from light for long periods of time.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...
