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.

Life is full of surprises—some good and some bad. I recently had a very good one. Perhaps the best one ever. When I was in college 30 years ago, I studied both Journalism and Radio-Television. I favored writing and after a semester or so, set out to...
I was born in 1972. Many, many things have come and gone in the amount of time I have been on this planet. There are a handful of things I truly miss, but for the most part, I don’t sit around and think about the “good ole days.” Well, that was true...
I have been going through a bit of a tough time. My depression and anxiety are freaking intense and menopause on top of it all is creating quite the shit sandwich. How am I trying to cope? Laughter. In my opinion, laughing is always the best...
As Halloween approaches, scary movies seem to be at the top of everyone’s mind. There also isn’t a damn thing else playing at the movie theater. It’s frustrating. I’m not a horror movie gal. I just don’t see the appeal. Why would I want to be scared...
I just saw a brilliant post by a college friend on Facebook. It read, “If you are a person who answers the late-night work emails or texts, or who is reachable on weekends and vacations, just know that YOU are the ones fucking this up for EVERYBODY...
Thirty years is a long time. It is also how long I will have been married to my husband as of October 16. I’m optimistic we will make it to 30, but one never knows. I struggle to believe I have spent more than half of my life with this one person...
My bestie and I are firm believers that you have to find joy and happiness in the little things in life. We talk about it on the regular. Life, at least ours, just doesn’t give you a ton of big shit to get excited about. Enjoy what you can. Enter...
I love to cook. It is one of my favorite things. Perhaps only second to eating. In the evening, pouring myself a generous glass of red wine and making dinner is my favorite part of the day. If I were to pick a favorite type of cuisine, it would...
It is safe to say most kids have no idea what their parents do for a living, nor do they care, until it might be useful to them. Sure, there are cool job exceptions like firefighter, nurse, teacher and lion tamer, but kids really don’t care about...
A lot of Gen X-related stuff has been showing up on my social media as of late. I’m not going to lie; I thoroughly enjoy it. It is very music-heavy and what’s not to love about the music of the 80s and 90s? The correct answer is nothing. It was...
