    2021-02-06 What’s Got My Brain in a Bunch on a Saturday?

    Spoiler alert. This post is a rant about social media. These are my opinions and I’m entitled to them. And I reserve the right to be flawed and change my mind. I’m only human and this could all just be coming from that special place in my brain that I get access to when I’m…

    2021-02-05 This One Time at Band Camp…

    JK.. I never went to band camp.  I did go to cheer camp like 4 times though. Sadly there are zero juicy stories from that. All I have to show for my four years of cheerleading in high school are a bunch of pictures of all my bad hair days, nightmares about perpetually being excluded…

    2021-02-05 Where’s Monday When You Need It?

    After having slept for only 4 hours the previous night, I could not stay awake past 9pm last night. My sleep was unfortunately once again riddled with tossing and turning and congestion. At 4:30 this AM I gave up and got up (again). Sound familiar? Despite that nonsense, I was in good spirits and looking…

    2021-02-04 A Good Day to Start (Again)

    The update to yesterday’s “to be continued” question was answered last night at 9pm after 4 hours of discussion about the GLR lit mag (and after not having eaten a meal all day).  In short, I didn’t care what it was.. I had to eat and ASAP so those left-over enchiladas were the best option.…

    2021-02-03 It’s Not My Anniversary Anymore

    Day 1 being vegetarian and reinstating other dietary behaviors: Great Success. “This is gonna be good.”  Day 2: “It’s my anniversary and my husband is taking me out for dinner, screw the diet.” AND “I’ll start again tomorrow.” Day 3: “I want to, but those leftovers look sooooo good.” … ~To Be Continued~  In other…

    2021-02-02 Who Gets Married on Groundhog Day??! 🦦🥂💕

    This Girl!! (I think that emoji might be an Ottr, but it’ll have to do). One year ago today I got married. It’s quite hard to believe. In some ways it feels like it never happened, in other ways it feels like it was many years ago. There is no way I could have predicted…

    2021-02-01 Oklahoma Adventure Day 2, 3, 4, and 5…

    Oklahoma? Been there, done that.  But hold-up. It’s not really over until there’s a recap. Normally I’d take this day by day, but now that I’m home, I’ve quickly slid into a position where I don’t have time and my desire to rehash wanes. So friends, this rapid fire set of highlights is gonna be…

    2021-01-31 On Looking Back at What’s Past versus Looking to the Future (+Post Vacation Stats)

    One reason I try to write in a moment or a mood is that once it’s gone, the essence of it slips away from the immediate and tactile memory. It’s hard to recapture exactly what it was about that day, hour, or year when it’s past.  It is partly for that reason that I know…
