Have you ever wanted to shake someone? Not a baby. WE NEVER SHAKE A BABY. But full-grown adult. Ever wanted to just grab them by the shoulders and scream, “Snap out of it!!!!!!” I had such an experience recently. It went something like this: Me: Hey! Friend in Obvious Emotional Pain: Hey. Me: Are you okay? FiOEP: No. … Continue reading »

Scarred for Life
My grandmother reads my blog. I love that for the following reasons: 1) My grandmother is cooler than your grandmother 2) My grandmother can use a computer with style. Can yours? 3) See #1 However, for this very reason, today’s story is going to be a little, hmm…euphemistic. There is a certain local band for … Continue reading »
My Favorite Things…April 5
It’s Saturday!! Have you ever heard such a glorious thing? After the week I’ve had, the thought that kept me going was that for the first time in months (and the last time for a while because I have a class that starts next week) I didn’t have anything I had to do on Saturday morning, so … Continue reading »

A Guilt Complex and a Story of Hope…
I am a cowardly shopper. I live in fear of buyer’s remorse. Now, that kind of sounds like a good thing, right? I don’t make impulse buys, I don’t over-shop, but I also don’t buy the things that I really want/need because I’m afraid that someday I’ll regret it or that I’ll wish I had … Continue reading »
March — In like a lion, out like a snowman
Today is March 25. It’s the second day of holy week, it’s 6 days before Easter, it’s the second week of spring – And it’s snowing. Because sure, why not? I really don’t mind the snow. In general I like it and since my car has four-wheel drive (thanks Subaru!) it’s not so bad, but … Continue reading »

Little pink round pill She says, “Take to feel better” Knocked me on my butt
My Favorite Things…March 22
Happy Friday!!! As some of you who have been reading along for a while may have noticed, I used to do a feature called “Weekend Warriors” on Fridays, highlighting people or organizations whose body of work was admirable. Sometimes though, I just want to show you specific things that I’ve found on the interwebs that … Continue reading »
