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.

Times are tough. The world is a dumpster fire. I suffer from anxiety and get stressed out about something every damn day. Sometimes it’s the big stuff—climate change, racism gender equality, etc. Other times it is some really small, stupid shit—did...
I know everyone has a favorite season, but I really cannot emphasize enough, how much I love summer. It is everything. I despise cold weather and relish every hot, steamy day of summer. In fact, I love it so much I have to check myself regularly...
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who yard sale and those who do not. I’m the latter. It’s not that I think I’m above it. I just don’t have the time or patience to riffle through other people’s shit in hopes of finding something I...
I’m not particularly excited about getting old, but it beats the alternative. I feel like I’m taking most of the things that come with aging in stride. However, there is one thing I’m incredibly bitter about: chin hairs. What kind of dark magic...
Some of my best memories as a child are the summers I spent with my grandparents. As soon as school was out, I packed my bags and was ready to roll. There was no place else I wanted to be. My grandparents lived about two hours away. We saw them...
I love to travel. It gives me life. I want to see everything! I love planning a vacation almost as much as the actual vacation. Almost. I never traveled as a child. It was just not something we did as a family. However, I always yearned for it. I...
Well, it happened. I have been talking and writing about it for months. The day finally arrived a couple of weeks ago. Yep. I turned 50. The day came and went with minimal fanfare. I did receive many well-wishes in the form of calls, texts and...
I gather with a few friends to knit every Wednesday morning. It is my “me time.” Since I run my own business from home, I do my best to keep those two hours free every week. Last week whilst knitting we were lamenting about the loss of a local...
I’m not a terribly organized person. While I don’t live in filth, you can bet at any given time, there is going to be some shit laying around. I blame much of this on the other people in my house who insist on placing everything they own (notebooks...
I’m nearly 50 years-old. I recently received some of the best advice/encouragement ever from another parent who has lived through, what I’m preparing to do. She said, “You can do hard things.” Seems basic, but most good advice is usually. Yes. I...
