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.

I wrote here several months ago about a dog that turned up in our front yard while we were having some work done on a water leak. I opened the door. He came in and never left. Yes, Gus (I immediately named him) has made himself right at home. I did...
I had a dream recently where I went to India with some old co-workers. In my dream, everyone around me was speaking an Indian dialect of some sort—or so it sounded. I had similar dreams when I lived in Japan, where all those surrounding me were...
‘Tis the season for all things graduation. We have attended multiple graduation parties for the children of our friends. They have been lovely. They have also made me feel like a total failure as a parent. Why, you ask? Because we didn’t do shit...
The Traver family has jointly and carefully curated one of the most epic road trip playlists known to man. The even bigger accomplishment is that we all love it. It started last summer when we were in Montana. Brett had his phone plugged into the...
On a recent Saturday, I went with several of my knitting friends to a fiber festival about 90 minutes from where we live. What is a fibers festival, you ask? It’s a lot of damn yarn. Too much to possibly wrap your head around. I gave myself a budget...
Most days spent with my daughter are good. We enjoy each other’s company. We Never seem to run out of things to talk about. And, oh, how we laugh. Thank God she picked up our sense of humor. I don’t know what I would do if our girl weren’t funny...
Mother’s Day is my favorite day of the year. I love everything about it. I mean, hello! It’s a day all about me. What’s not to love? I anticipate this day every year. And make no mistakes, I get totally pissy when I am not cherished and pampered...
It has been said that we all have a book in us. I think this is true. If nothing else, we have the story of our lives. What more important story is there to tell? Opening up about your life to others is such a personal thing, but if done well with...
I’m not one of these people who just eat to live. I totally live to eat. I love food. Good food is orgasmic to me. Nothing makes me happier than a good meal. Not only do I love to eat, but I also love to cook. Pouring myself a glass of wine and...
Let me start by saying, I’m not a Swiftie. If I’m being honest, I used to hate on her. Why? No good reason. I was just being difficult. I have great self-awareness. However, she has won me over. I’ve been listening to The Life of a Showgirl album on...
