Lots of Unspoken Curse Words Today
Let me allow this picture to tell you you everything you need to know about the day I’m having: It is currently 12:30 pm. I’m on my lunch break at home. Usually when my break is over at 1:00, I go back to work. Not today. The yoga pants and slippers mean that I’m not… →

From Different to the Same
Let me tell you what my honest, very first reaction was to this question…I literally said out loud “not a g**damn thing”. Then I paused for a moment and wondered if I answered this last year. I know the prompts are repeated every day now, but last year I didn’t always answer them each day.… →

Music/Movie Monday—Fancy
My husband and I were watching the lighting of the Rockefeller Tree the other night. Reba McEntire was hosting and my husband said something that kind of made fun of her music.

From Pettiness to Words and Everything in Between
