2023-12-17 This One IS About Sandwiches š„Ŗ

The word of the month is āsandwichā and every variation of the word ā sandwiches, sandwiched, sand witch, and sandwicher. Why? Because I said so. Ok. So it doesnāt have to be every person’s word of the month but if I have to āobserveā something as dumb as Valentineās Day, then I for sure can…

2023-06-05 No Drama Hereā¦

Itās been a hot minute since Iāve written anything blog worthy, and this might be no exception but Iām 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…

I started this post just now because I have a lot of thoughts. Lots of disorganized-all-over-the-map thoughts.

2023-01-02 Enough is Enough Alreadyā¦

2022-12-26 And Thatās a Wrap⦠š

Christmas is all but over for another year and thatās 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 thatās 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 didnāt die! š

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 werenāt a lot of other…
