Um, hello, I would like to lodge a complaint. I mean, I know smokers don't have any rights, we're like the scum of the earth, but still, a little consideration would be amazing. I mean, everyone knows the damage alcohol can do to your body, right? Not to mention the effects it can have on … Continue reading The Scum of the Earth →

My holiday traveling hiatus is coming to an end tomorrow, when I hit the road (well, the road and then the sky and then the road again) for Virginia. It's going to be sixty degrees in VA so I don't give a damn if it's January, when it's sixty it's sandal weather! I even painted … Continue reading I Got This →

Well, I have not seen a moose. I've seen moose statues and moose cut outs and moose themed signs and a sign that said "Moose area next one mile" and another that said "Moose viewing area" and lots of good moose habitat, but no actual moose to be found. Moose populations in MN have been … Continue reading Mission Moose →

In trying to keep up with writing as close to every day as I can, here I am on vacation staring at my phone. Writing is a lot like playing an instrument, in that it constantly needs practice. Welcome to my practice session. :). Fiddle is next! Tomorrow is a big day (I mean, aside … Continue reading Vacation Journal →

Well, maybe I forgot what it takes to get ready for vacation, that's my excuse. All I know is it's almost 11pm, I've got a load in the wash and my suitcase isn't packed. Also I remembered this is a winter trip and I need to wash my winter coat. The warm one. The playing … Continue reading Break →

I should probably write a New Year blog but it turns out I am over New Years. I'm not making any resolutions, I've decided instead to appreciate my life the way it is, be grateful for every benefit. Dammit, I've made a resolution haven't I? What I think about most this time of year, instead, … Continue reading New Year Same Me →

I went to see Bombshell. I liked it, even though I'd rather put a fork through my eye than watch Fox News. Gretchen Carlson graduated from the same high school as me, grew up in the same town. Extra bonus, she also plays the violin. But even as I left the theater I felt it … Continue reading All the Rage →

Well, if I thought my blog never got read before it's a whole new world not being connected to Twitter. HELLO (HELLO hello hellooooo...) It's fine though, because I haven't written anything in my blog in a bajillion years and I am rusty. *creak* This way I can just go on about nothing, practicing my … Continue reading Black Hole →

Today is the 26 six year anniversary of one of the dumbest things I ever did, which was to marry my first husband. He used to call me or send me texts to wish me a happy un-anniversary, but since I've been with J those have tapered off. By now, since it's evening, I was … Continue reading Un-Anniversary →

My husband asked me if it would be sexy if he learned the opening riff to "Sweet Child O'Mine" (Guns N Roses) on his electric guitar and, even though I tried to keep a cool exterior, my insides got all smushy and fluttery at the thought. We were riding in the car at the time, … Continue reading Top Ten Song Intros →
