  • 2021-11-04 Signs of Change

    Lately it is so strange that each day feels nothing like the day before. One would think that at my age, shit would start being more predictable. Predictable like.. boring and comfortable. But ohhhhh those mood swings and ahhhhh that unpredictability. One night I get a great night’s sleep and the next night sucks ass.…

    2021-10-02 A Fresh Start for Fall 🍁

    A new month has been born and with it we enjoy the most ironic season of all; when juxtaposition reigns supreme.  The weather gets cooler yet we become cozy and warm as we gather around fires, sip hot drinks, and swap our summer wardrobes with sweaters, boots, and hats. It’s the season where the nights…

    2021-09-29 An Epic Rant from a Terrible Daughter…

    You know that saying?.. How does it go?..  “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”  It’s something like that.  Well… fuck that saying.

    Today is Saturday and I’m walking on the treadmill while things are still peaceful here in the castle. It’s going to be a busy day.  I’ve got a poetry workshop I’m looking forward to attending that starts at 10am and after that my son is having a group of friends over to the house for…

    2021-09-10 What’s New for Little Miss S?

    What a doozie?! What’s up? What’s down? What repeats and goes round and round?…  “Little Miss S in a mini-dress” What can I say? I’m a hot mess this week. Physically, mentally, emotionally. Monday was a holiday and I was already so done with “taking care” of the household I just wanted to be left…

    2021-09-05 Working through Control Issues

    This morning I’m thinking about control. I’m thinking about how to truly let go of something I have no control over and more than that questioning why I let something I know is out of my control dig at my insides.  My day yesterday was consumed with taking a car in for an audio upgrade,…

    We’ve officially turned over the month are on the fast track to pumpkin spice latte season and sweater weather.  I’m doing pretty good this week and trying to stay focused on my to-do list while balancing managing the household and nurturing my interpersonal relationships.  If I haven’t written about the resurgence of the lunch/happy hour…

    2021-08-18 Mood Math

    It’s been another week. Another 7 days since I’ve put two sentences together on a page, virtual or otherwise. Maybe this is the new me, the new Miss SugarCookie who posts once a week instead of once a day. If I was doing that, I’d want to make sure each week is one heck of…
