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.

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...
I’ve had a hard week. Lots of work demands and, of course, an insane number of projects with short deadlines. All this because I’m going to be out of the office for two days. Nevertheless, my bestie and I are hitting the road in less than five hours...
I have been married for nearly 30 years. Obviously, my husband and I have had many disagreements during this time. One that has lasted our entire marriage, which U2 album is the best. Before we get into the great album debate, let me start by...
It may be cheesy, but I love May the Fourth. Whoever came up with Star Wars Day deserves an award. I am 51 years old. I have loved all things Star Wars since I was five. I love everything about it. It just makes me flat-out happy. Star Wars was the...
In recent years I’ve tried to be more open and honest about my mental health struggles. I believe strongly in normalizing mental health. That shit isn’t going to happen if we don’t talk about it. I will continue with this mission, but I’ve found a...
