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 marked our annual summer vacation—kind of. While I will never forget it, at times it seemed way more like work than fun. My daughter is a rising senior and we spent the week doing college tours in the Northeast. We ended up driving 2,327...
I am self-employed. This is sometimes a good thing. This is sometimes a bad thing. It is more often than not a hard thing. As hard as it can be at times, the one point of gratitude I come back to is the strong, smart and talented women I have had...
I’m an incredibly anxious person. I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I’m medicated for it. However, teaching my 17-year-old daughter to drive is putting my meds to the test. She is not a bad driver. She is an inexperienced...
I miss a lot of things about my daughter being little—holding her tiny little hand, her saying words funny, that sweet high pitch giggle and picking out her clothes—just to name a few. However, the thing I miss the most is kids’ books. Oh, how I...
My daughter told me a while back some of her friends at school had discovered my blog. Surprisingly enough, they are still her friends. Should any of these friends happen to read this post, they will more than likely have no idea what the fuck I’m...
There are several firsts a person remembers in their life. Recently I got to experience one of those with my daughter. I feel like it was an epic first, but if I’m being honest with myself, it was way better for me than her. It was her first concert...
I recently sent my husband a text that said, “Random thought: I really wish I liked camping.” He replied in agreement. I see pics of people in the woods and it looks so peaceful and lovely. I think, that must be so nice. Then I remember the one time...
I’m a knitter. Not a good one, but nevertheless I persist. Knitting is yoga for the mind and I have a head filled with hummingbirds. Some say they try to knit away the crazy. That is a pretty good description. My two favorite parts of knitting are...
We lost a legend last week. Tina Turner was not just the Queen of Rock & Roll in my book. She was the queen of all things. I found her inspiring on every level. I have loved her music since I was a kid. When I was older and learned her story, I...
Life is full of decisions. Some are basic and have no real repercussions, others might be dwelled upon for days, months, years or even a lifetime. I was recently faced with such a decision. As I mentioned in this blog last week, my dear friend and I...
