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 year my daughter left home to finish her last two years of high school in a STEM academy at a university two hours away from us. I thought leaving her there for the first time would be the hardest thing I ever had to do. It was certainly tough...
I’m from the south. Kentucky to be exact. I grew up on country cooking or as it is called nowadays, comfort food. I love it, honestly, I do. One bite of some creamed potatoes or a big pot of beef vegetable soup immediately takes me back to my...
I will be the first to admit, I can be a pill. My mind is a constantly spinning hamster wheel of worry and over-analyzing every aspect of life. Most of my family and friends know this about me and roll with it. Some of these people even suffer from...
I’m mad as hell. I have been mad all damn day. Why do you ask? Over a stupid awards show that in no way affects me, or does it? The Oscar nominations were just announced. In my youth, I was very big on the Oscars. I tried to watch as many of the...
We all have something that defines us. That one thing that makes a person who knows you stop and say, “Yep. That is so and so.” For me, it is my laugh. This is both a blessing and a curse. I love to laugh. I try to do it often, but I have very...
As I have mentioned numerous times, I hate the winter. Each year when I’m all up in it, I try very hard to find one or two redeeming qualities about this horrible season to help get me through. One of my favorite winter treats to myself is a toasty...
I enjoy the holidays. I’m not in love with them like some folks, but I usually get into the spirit of the season. That being said, I have never wanted to put up my tree before Thanksgiving and when it is over, I want the tree gone within a week...
Let me start by apologizing to all my yoga teaching and loving friends. I’m so jealous. I want to love yoga with all my heart. Over the course of 20-plus years, I have tried numerous live classes, DVDs and internet yoga programs. When I’m done, I...
I wrote this a few weeks ago, but as we enter the holiday season it seems more relevant now than ever. Regardless of your faith or lack thereof, please remember that everyone can be nice. You don’t have to believe in anything or anyone to be...
More than 20 years and thousands of dollars. That is what fighting gray hair has cost me. I started going gray in my mid 20s. I was not a fan. I battled it from day one. I was not going to be gray at 30 like my Granny. Nope. Fuck that. Throughout...
