I Marie Kondo-ed my closet.
Sort of. I didn’t hug my old clothes and tell them they served me well before gently placing them in a pile to be donated. Instead I tore through that shit knowing that I was kidding myself if I thought I’d ever wear 3/4 of it again and stuffed it all in a bag with…

Not to be a whale-gutter, but…
At one of my past jobs several years ago, I had some of the dearest friends/co-workers a girl could ask for. When you’re forced to participate in the daily grind, it’s really important to find people you can take a break and laugh with, otherwise all you have to look forward to is TPS reports…

Caught in my own hypocrisy yet again.
If you’ve been reading this blog you’ve discovered that I am not perfect. I know, I know, you are shocked 😐. For instance, there’s been a number of times when I’ve criticized others grammar, but I should really stfu because I can’t remember punctuation rules to save my life. I use parenthesis like a mad…

My arch nemesis, the telephone.
I haaaaate talking on the phone. Not in the: “We have text now, why would you ever call me?” way, (even though I agree with that statement.) I mean, I have alwayssss haaaated talking on the phone. Which is weird because the year I got my own phone for my bedroom – a bulky white…

Quiz time.
You go on a dinner date for your husband’s birthday. Your wonderful sister offers to have your boys sleep over so you can have a nice quiet evening and sleep in the next day. After a perfect dinner and dazzling conversation, you go back to your house and: A. Watch the movie Joker and fall…

My mind has rejected my New Year’s Resolution.
My official New Year’s resolution was to lose 5 lbs. but I seriously cannot stop eating. I think I was secretly hypnotized because every time I tell myself not eat, that pesky voice in my head says, “Haha try it you weak fool! Hahaaaa! Twinkies.” You probably think I’m exaggerating but this is what I…

Aw man, pew.
Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your perfume is kinda rude. The last time my family went out to dinner, PJ and I locked eyes when a couple sat next to us; my eyes started watering and I think PJ was gasping for air because the woman’s perfume was choking us…

My boys.
I’m the mother of 3 boys. They’re so different and yet so alike in most of the good ways, some of the bad ways, and all of the naughty ways. Naughty and bad are 2 very different things. Bad is when they drop an F bomb while practicing the trombone – but who am I…

The next generation is just fine.
On any given day you can find an article telling you how the technology of today is ruining our yutes. What is a yute? You know, a yute. (Sorry, I fell into the courtroom scene from My Cousin Vinnie which is sure to happen whenever the word youth is mentioned. Back to articles about the…

There’s always that one.
Have you ever met someone and not liked them just by looking at them? Something in your gut tells you “Nope.” And you don’t know why and you feel really petty (or Petti haha) and think to yourself, “Oh stop. She’s fine. You’re being a jerk.” Sometimes I’m wrong and the person ends up being…

My New Year’s resolution.
My New Year’s resolution should be to stop eating everything in sight because I gained 5 lbs. over the holidays and look like a busted can of biscuits. That’s what 5 pounds does to a person who is 5’ nothing and gains it all in her belly or as my mom calls it, the midddrifff.…

Why do I do this to myself?
Yesterday started out like any other Saturday. My son waking me up begging for pancakes even though I’ve been begging him for years to not wake me up begging for pancakes. He was out of luck though because I had a 9am appointment with one of the most important people in my life. The man…

Surprise me. Or don’t.
When I decided to start a blog I asked my husband PJ, what was off limits. He said, “nothing.” I should’ve taken it and ran, but I knew he was either in the middle of something and not really listening or figured I’d end up writing whatever I wanted anyway, so why bother telling me what to…
