The Change

While many refer to this epic time as Pandemic 2020, I like to label it the universal pause. During this pause, I have been reflective of my relationships and honestly, everything seems to be more transparent. People are showing their true character traits in an alarming fashion. This allows me to either step forward or…

Bitchcraft

If you are a frequent flyer by reading my blog, you are probably aware that I don’t mince words. I have had people call me out on what I have written and I politely have said, “Thank you for your continued readership” while giving them the finger as I press send. You see, you don’t…

Bye, June

What it is about each month of 2020 that makes it feel like an annoying fly? I keep swatting at it and yet, it still remains. This week has been a really long year. Kidding. Sort of. Not really. Sunday began with one of Daisy’s cyst rupturing. Friends, it was disgusting. If I were rating…

The Lefty

Of all the story that I have shared about my oldest son, Bailey, this has got to be the sweetest and funniest one yet. On Monday, he had his first Special Olympics softball practice of the season. In an typical year where a pandemic isn’t holding us hostage, we would have already been in the…

A New Age

It’s an interesting world we are living in these days. Each moment are pockets full of unexpected and most of the time, unwelcome surprises. By now, we should be in a state of acceptance about how twisted things are, but if you are like me, you are currently trying to impersonate Rip Van Winkle, and…

Open Door

While the whole world feels like one of those Tilt-A-Whirl rides and the rest of our lives is one big question mark, I am over here imagining decorating Bryce’s apartment. Let me start from the beginning. Bryce was fortunate enough to claim a one bedroom apartment for his junior year of college. Let me point…

The Confrontation

This girl – right here- is not a fan of confrontation. Oh, sure, I talk a big game, but the reality is that it brings me tremendous anxiety to take the action. My heart beats faster. I get nauseous. My voice does weird things. Confronting my family is one things, but outside of that realm,…

End Result

I am sure that those of you who read my blog, Holy Guacamole, on Monday have lost sleep over how it all turned out. Did Brian make the yummy green concoction? Was it edible? Did he go rogue and not follow a recipe? Calm down, friends. Here is the conclusion to this riveting story. My…

Storytellers

I have written about changing the narrative. I have written about being part of the solution. And while, we are striding toward a better future, there are always assholes that take away from the progress. Last night, some of our local media were attacked by disgruntled individuals. Fun fact, the media is trying to tell…

Holy Guacamole

You know the story. Girl sends boy to the store with a list. Boy comes homes with everything written on the list plus an abundance of crap that the girl didn’t request. Girl beats boy over the head. It’s an old tale of most married couples. My spouse went to Costco yesterday with a specific…
