8 Late?

Wow. I just looked up the last time I posted and it’s been a month. To the day. So, four weeks, I usually blog twice a week… I’m eight posts behind! Eep. Sorry. I probably won’t be making those up, but I will try EXTRA hard to continue from here on out to stay onContinue reading “8 Late?”

Bridging the Gap

via Daily Prompt: Record I had an amazing dream Saturday night. I’m writing about it in conjunction with the daily word prompt because I want to remember this, I want to record it, so I’ll have it always. I normally remember my dreams and they are always vivid and detailed… they were nothing compared toContinue reading “Bridging the Gap”

I Auditioned for Listen To Your Mother

I did it! Again… For those who may not know, Listen To Your Mother is a yearly live production that “Gives Motherhood a Microphone”. It is made up of live readings on the good, the bad, the funny, the tragic, anything and everything that makes up motherhood. It is put on once a year, aroundContinue reading “I Auditioned for Listen To Your Mother”

The Ride of My Life

This is a true story that I wrote a few years ago… I’m posting it now because this blog could use a little lightening up… Some people who have read it before have said “it’s a little over the top, don’t you think?” Of course it is! I wrote it! Have you met me??? Yes,Continue reading “The Ride of My Life”

Grief & Disbelief

Here it is again. The dreaded 19th. Nine months to the day, we lost Natalie. It’s still just as devastating and confusing today as it was then. I still replay the conversation with my brother, asking if she was dead and him whispering “yeah”. Still going over the agonizing wait in her apartment building whileContinue reading “Grief & Disbelief”

Empire Beauty School

Remember this address: 9749 Lyndale Avenue So. (Bloomington) Their phone number is: 952.232.0426 Ok, here’s why you’ll want this info… I’ve been in kind of a blah spot when it comes to my hair. I’d been dying it “Violet Vixen” for about a year. Decided I wanted to get closer to my natural color soContinue reading “Empire Beauty School”

Dogs Are People Too

* To prevent confusion, I wrote this post a couple of months ago. It’s been sitting in my “drafts” folder… waiting to be finished I guess. So, here it is. Enjoy. Last night I went to my mom and dads… mostly to see them but to see the doggies too. Deano and Niles, they areContinue reading “Dogs Are People Too”

And What I Really Want to Tell You Is…

I’m sorry. I know I’ve been underground lately. I’ve been busy and I’ve been depressed. I’ve had zero energy and less inspiration. The thought of having a phone conversation or trading texts or emails has been too much up to this point. Here’s the good news. I’m coming out of it. One of Rox’s standbyContinue reading “And What I Really Want to Tell You Is…”

All of THAT for THIS?

Really? A lot of you know that a couple of years back, I filed for disability. As probably all of you know, or can guess, it’s a terribly grueling process. You gut yourself on paper, which, admittedly I do anyway in my free time but for disability you have to basically prove you’re worthless withoutContinue reading “All of THAT for THIS?”

Sorry Not Sorry

When it comes to computer/techy stuff, I leave a lot to be desired… I was just going through some of the saved links I have on FB and remembered this one of Natalie singing. I’ve tried to save it to my computer or email it to myself… but even my 13 year old doesn’t know what toContinue reading “Sorry Not Sorry”
