Just because some of us have OLD AS HELL websites doesn’t mean you idiots should be trying to hack them all day. Trust me, there is NOTHING HERE. Some old links. That’s it. Now Go Away. Get off my lawn. Etc. So on and so forth.
I’m not going to lie, things have been heavy around here for the past few weeks. Death, hospitalization, coming out, state testing, travel for mom and other serious stresses. So when I picked up the kids yesterday knowing Hala needed supplies for a project I decided to throw a little levity in our lives. Hala […]
I feel the anger. I feel the frustration. I also feel the wheels of history and democracy turning. I’ll be watching the inauguration. I’m not going to boycott because my gal lost. I’m not going to refuse to watch out of spite. I’m going to watch history church on and on. I’m going to watch […]

Just before Christmas in December 2006, I reached out to you, hoping you would weigh one more thing as you and your husband decided whether or not he should run for President, and I made you a promise. I was sympathetic to your history changing decision and excited for 8 years of an Obama White […]
I feel the need to do this. So just let me. I’m on day 7 in the hospital. This time I have CDiff, fluid in both lungs, an infection of the blood, and paralyzing gastroparesis making eating impossible. Eating has actually been impossible for several months now. Getting worse and worse as time went on. […]
Look anywhere today and you can’t shake a stick without hitting a company on social media. It has become part of the corporate normal if you want to do business in today’s day and age. One of the most revered brands “doing” social is Chipotle Mexican Grill who tells me via Twitter they’ve been on […]
Both of my babies were born in the Spring. Putting me on the same cycle as Mother Nature with all her renewal and birth and other hippie dippy prose. The season always gives me hope, usually when I start anew in our garden and plant. It’s a physical activity, one I haven’t been able to […]
