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 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...
My good friend recently had a “Best Mom Moment.” She was trying to get her 17-year-old son to New York to meet up with a group of fellow soccer players. They were then headed to Spain for a camp. It did not go smoothly. Upon arrival at the airport...
I was very fortunate to go to college in the same town where my grandparents lived. I was two hours away from home. However, I had my safety net and my two favorite people about eight miles away. It was the perfect scenario. I had my independence...
I will be the first to admit that I’m addicted to social media. I know it is bad for me. I’ve almost given it up (or tried) numerous times, but then I discover an account that speaks to me, entertains me, and perhaps, even makes my life better...
I do not like car racing. I never have. I honestly don’t get it. Driving at my top speed seems scary AF to me. It makes me very nervous. I have also never seen the appeal of watching people drive in circles. I won’t even get into the noise, the...
It was a lazy Sunday morning. I was up before my husband. I sat on the couch, knitting and sipping my tea. I decided I needed some chill music. I kicked it old school with some Cowboy Junkies on the HomePod. That is some good, mellow Sunday morning...
One of the nicest things my husband has ever said to me in our plethora of moves is, “You always make our house feel like a home.” I take that as a huge compliment. Home is important. Making a comfortable, nice and welcoming home is a hard balance...
I’m finding it very hard to connect with the general public after the election. I’ve always struggled in the town where I live. I’m different. I’m a tree-hugging hippie. Most of those who surround me are not. I’ve lived here for 11 years and have...
