2023-12-17 This One IS About Sandwiches 🥪

The word of the month is “sandwich” and every variation of the word — sandwiches, sandwiched, sand witch, and sandwicher. Why? Because I said so. Ok. So it doesn’t have to be every person’s word of the month but if I have to “observe” something as dumb as Valentine’s Day, then I for sure can…

2023-06-05 No Drama Here…

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written anything blog worthy, and this might be no exception but I’m doing it anyway. Actually I wrote a few sentences over the past week but it came from a place of emotional unrest and frustration. Not to worry friends, the storm clouds have abated and the burden…

2023-05-18 Organize to Prioritize

I started this post just now because I have a lot of thoughts. Lots of disorganized-all-over-the-map thoughts. Maybe I’m hoping getting it all down will help to sort through it and pick out my priorities. I move my daughter home from UNL yesterday and she’s officially a senior in college. Super hard to believe, but…

2023-03-17 But What Is Happiness…

Two days ago I forgot it was the Ides and today I forgot it’s Saint Patrick’s Day (until about 20 minutes ago). I Guess that’s just what happens when I crawl deeper back into the cave of my own little life and shut out the rest of the world. I would say this cave /…

2023-03-08 My Mind is Made Up…

Last week I did something I haven’t done in years. I wrote something that I decided from the start would never see the light of any day. Just me, my thoughts, and my fingers tippity-typing on the keyboard to get it all out. From one angle it was an experiment to see if I still…

2023-01-02 Enough is Enough Already…

I’m always prone to being distracted by the new shiny. I think it’s only human. Routine and the cadence of up and down are also very human traits, for most people. I suppose there are some who thrive in chaos but I’m not among them. It’s a new year and this is (at least) my…

2022-12-26 And That’s a Wrap… 🎄

Christmas is all but over for another year and that’s ok by me. My highlight was getting to spend Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning with my family and my kids. We have our little traditions and that’s enough for me. The rest of it I can definitely do without. In truth, if we could…

2022-08-21 Epic Summer Road Trip Day 0: Reading poetry, chaos, and exhaustion.. but I didn’t die! 😂

Yesterday I bit off more than I could chew but I survived. I sacrificed day 0 of my vacation to do a reading at a local bookstore cuz 1: It was a Saturday and I knew there was a bigger chance more people could go on a Saturday. And 2:There weren’t a lot of other…
