I know there are a lot of people who have a fear of the dentist, but somehow I feel like my fear of the dentist is different. I mean, first of all, your fear is probably ridiculous, and my fear is real, because it’s mine. (Don’t we all feel that way, if we’re being honest? […]

I made a new friend.
Last week, when I was meditating in the cemetery, I finally decided to look down at what I was sitting on. Wait. Is there a chance someone might think meditating in a cemetery is weird? Oh, yeah, maybe I should back up. I’m always looking for a nice, quiet place to meditate, and it turns out that […]
Call me. Maybe.
A friend called me yesterday to chat, and while we were talking she apologized for not reading my blog lately. I said, “GIRL…..”(Please, if you’ll indulge me, imagine me as a drag queen saying that, because that’s what I really want to sound like in real life.) Also, if you’re not a female reading this, […]
Being married is awesome.
I mean it. I don’t know much about being single, since three witches kidnapped me from my castle when I was a child and assigned me a husband. But I do know something about being married, and it’s pretty great. For one thing, if you’re married to a person who needs constant attention, you never […]
I’m so ancient, I actually remember when Facebook was my happy place.
A few weeks ago, I started getting SO MANY notifications of Facebook memories. You know, those things that Facebook likes to remind you about, and you’re halfway afraid to click on because you’re not sure if they’re actually good memories, or just things you posted when you were drunk-Facebooking and they only seemed like a […]
We just bought a beach trailer.
Okay, I’m not really sure what to call this thing, because it’s not actually a trailer and it’s also not technically on the beach. And I really want it to have a fitting name, because I’m the kind of person who thinks that words matter. Like the room we built onto our house some years […]
You won’t like me when I’m angry.
Now, I really need to clarify this, because there’s really only one person that can make me absolutely lose my mind. I never lose my temper with my children. I never lose my temper at work, even though I’m a trainer who has to answer the same questions over and over again to people that […]
I’m getting my nose cut off next week.
Okay, I’m probably not getting my nose cut off, but I always prepare myself for the worst. I’ve always done that. It wasn’t until I read one of Brene Brown’s books last summer that I realized what I’ve been doing all of my life when I’m a little bit afraid. I’ve been “dress-rehearsing tragedy.” It’s […]
This is not a picture of me meditating.
It’s a stock photo of someone who kinda looks like me meditating, though. Getting a picture of myself meditating might be a little difficult, because that would require me asking someone in my family to take that picture, and I’m always telling them to please just leave me the hell alone. It’s funny how that’s happened more as […]
Someone’s laughing at us right now.
I’m just saying that it’s kind of a cruel joke, that two people meet and fall in love and are somehow supposed to live together forever, when first of all, even Aristotle couldn’t really explain eternity, much less two kids of sixteen and seventeen. I mean, when you met a hundred and fifty-six years ago, like […]
