What is this blog about? Well, it's a general blog, but it is also a very specific blog. If you get that
reference, you get a gold star! I have been a public relations professional and writer of press
releases for more than 20 years—primarily in the booze biz. I decided to do some writing for
fun and embrace the humor that gets me through most days. Hopefully it will make you
chuckle—or at least smile. I’m a certified crazy magnet, and more than a little nutty myself, so
buckle up. Also, I have two vices—profanity and red wine/whiskey. You’ve been warned.
It should also be noted, that I’m a HUGE Bob & Sheri fan. I’ve been a listener for more than 20
years. This opportunity is a dream come true and it may have made me cry. That being said, I
cry at everything.

Last week, an icon passed. My Aunt Patti (Sissy) died peacefully, surrounded by family. Well, maybe not 100 percent peacefully. You see, the loudest toilet in the world was located in her hospital room. I’m not kidding y’all. It shook the walls. As...
October may be the death of me, but in a good way. I like my downtime. I love a good weekend spent knitting and listening to audiobooks or podcasts. Somehow, I have scheduled something for every weekend during the month of October. What was I...
The year 2025 has been the year of comedy for the Traver family. I decided early in January to see as many funny people as possible because this world is a shit show and I need to laugh. Thus far, I’ve seen Jim Gaffigan, Wanda Sykes and Fortune...
I don’t like fall or winter. I actually hate winter. However, football season is my favorite season of the year. Yes, I realize that football season lands in fall and winter. It’s one of life’s mysteries. I’m a Kansas City Chiefs fan. Get off my...
If you have read many of my blog posts, you know I am over the “blockbuster” movie. I just want a nice little movie to make it to the theaters. I can only handle so much superhero bullshit. So, imagine my delight when I see there has been a remake...
As it has become a family tradition, my sisters, mom and bonus dad trek to Hilton Head every September for a week at the beach. It is a great time. My Aunt Patti went with us last year, but was unable to make it this year. We will miss her. We are...
Last week, a dog showed up in our yard. Our dogs went nuts and damn near jumped through a window. I left him alone for a while, even though he was terribly cute—a Blue Heeler mix of some sort. However, we had a water leak and there were workers in...
I have many loves in my life. My family—especially my husband, daughter, and mommy—I love them more than words could ever express. I love music. I love to laugh, but one of my greatest loves is our National Parks System. It is fucking brilliant. I...
About two years ago, we installed a dog door. This was a direct result of my youngest German Shorthair Pointer, Mavis, wanting to go outside continuously throughout the day while I was trying to work. I got my steps in, but it was not efficient for...
My family does not watch a lot of TV. We mainly watch sports. We are not those smug people who judge people for watching TV. There are a lot of great shows out there. I wish I watched more than I do. I just have trouble focusing. I blame menopause...
