  • 2018-04-24 Achtung Baby

    I put my iPhone on master shuffle to see what the Universe thinks I should be inspired by. “Even Better than the Real Thing” by U2 apparently. Hey.. isn’t that song like 30 years old? There’s nothing like THAT coming up in the shuffle of 1000+ songs I have on my personal electronic pocket computer…

  • 2018-04-19 Round Two. Ready…

    Fight! That’s a quick throwback to my youth where I spent many hours in an arcade watching boys play video games. Most noteworthy was street fighter 2 watching Ryu and Ken and whoever that green dude was that rolled himself into a speeding ball and smashed himself into his opponent. Yes.. I was there by…

  • 2018-04-08 This is My Blog and I’ll Rant if I Want To

    I’m not gonna sugar coat this. My ex-husband is a supreme douchebag. My gawd.. it’s good that my BS threshold is so high, otherwise I’d probably have been pushed past a breaking point way before now. The funny thing is, he gets so butt-hurt when people talk shit about his behaviors. If you do douchy…

  • 2018-04-07 Five Weeks

    Five weeks ago today, I was waking up and laying in bed and going through my normal single-girl routine… Pick up the phone.. check for text.. check email.. look for app notification badges, Facebook, Twitter, WordPress.. open Bumble and make a decision about swiping right or left on the current person whom I presumably was…

  • 2018-03-30 Austin Day 2: Changes in Scenery

    I’m now into my second day of enjoying everything this city now offers me. I say “now”, because as we get older, the scenery has changed. I absolutely cherish how things are now. When I’m here, I’m family. We hang around and talk and eat. We go out for delicious meals also full of great…

  • 2018-03-25 Heavy Sunday Thoughts

    Sunday again and I hit the sauna at the gym, mentally preparing for my typical elliptical set and getting ready to check my stats for the week. But first, a quick check of email. There was a message waiting for me and it was a thing I just can’t unread. A birthday reminder for my…

  • 2018-03-13 Fire 🔥 and Ice ❄️

    I said upfront that it is what it is. Organic is a nice way to say unprocessed and unfiltered. That means that sometimes you get unfiltered awesomeness and sometimes it’s just rotten. Today I have a rant about my ex (husband) and if I remember before I’m done writing, I also want to contemplate a…

  • 2018-03-12 The Thin Mint Struggle

    Welcome to a new week and we’re rolling into mid March like lambs and lions living together.. real pre-old testament stuff. Sooth sayers and Ceasar slayers, Shakespeare rising from his grave. Beware.. the mass hysteria. The kids are already enjoying their spring break by staying up late on a Sunday and sleeping in. I’m back…
