The day I ate my words

Even if the groundhog isn't the only one that has to eat his/her words, I'm glad we've both made it to the end of February 2019 alive!  It was rough.  Made me darn-tooting tough, though. Yesterday, I literally took on a down-right dagnabit grouchiest meanest nastiest version of my short selfish self ever. I'm not… Continue reading The day I ate my words

Why I cut my own curly gray hair

The day I had fully transitioned to my own naturally curly gray hair, was the last time I stepped into a hair salon.  I was a happy camper, yes, I was.

A Tostitos craving appeared and I blame it on the full moon.

It's the pending full moon that made me do it.  I don't think rationally when that is growing bigger and bigger in the sky.  Or maybe it was a cow? Plus...I think the whole ordeal of trying to decide how to be authentic to my "I wanna be comfortable ol' self on the beach', was… Continue reading A Tostitos craving appeared and I blame it on the full moon.

Suck it up – it’s a snow job, just return the bikini

So many empty nest realizations of life this week, they just kept piling up like the snow did.  One right after the other.  Piled up thigh high. #1 - We had the tax preparer call us to say, "Take the standard deductions now, no children with the school expenses to deduct.  You're not even close… Continue reading Suck it up – it’s a snow job, just return the bikini
