So, I was digging through some old stuff in my hope chest. Yes, I have a hope chest. My high school boyfriend made it for me with wood and tools and his own two hands. Because of that fact, I have never had the heart to get rid of it. I can count the number […]
My Fear Of Wax Figures
I am on a spring break trip with my family. I must say, it is one of the best things about life. We only have them for so long before they are grown and gone. Except maybe for that one who lives in your basement, until he’s thirty. I will never regret a dollar spent […]
Words From An Aging Optimist
I am one of the most optimistic people you will ever meet. Unless of course we never actually meet. In that case you will just have to take my word for it. Some people find blind optimism annoying, but I like to think of myself as a ray of sunshine, on an otherwise lackluster day. […]
When Mom’s the One Who’s Sick
Let me just start by saying that I rarely get sick. I pride myself on that fact. Like maybe I have some kind of superhuman immune system that refuses to allow viruses and bad bacteria into my body. Maybe scientists should be studying me, or something. Seriously, one time pneumonia swept through the other five […]
Overcoming My Fear Of Pressure Cookers
Happy 2017! I thought I would kick off the new year with a post. My 172nd post on this blog, to be exact. How many of those 172 posts have YOU read? If you need to catch up, please feel free. I’ll wait. I have time. Sometimes I wonder if anyone even reads blogs anymore. […]
The Day My Mother Saw An Oncologist
I share things on this blog in an effort to have a record of my journey. I document my life for the world to see, in the hopes that I can find human connection and support, through experiencing life together. Today, I share my real life. Just like every other day. I have written posts […]
I Am Being Stalked By A Neighborhood Cat
Let me preface this by saying, cats are perfectly lovable creatures. I want nothing but the best for them. I know that you love your cat. Or cats. I am sure that you are snuggling one right now, as you read this post. Maybe the problem is that I have never had a cat. I […]
12 Reason Amazon Echo Is My Current Everything
I love Amazon. A little too much some could argue. The site just makes my life easier. Anything that I need or want is right there at my fingertips. Add to cart, place order and two days later it is on my porch. So it was the natural progression that I should have an Amazon […]
How To Properly Fail A Sleep Study
I had my first ever physical earlier this year. I had all of the routine blood work and tests. Just as I suspected, I was relatively healthy: normal blood count, glucose, thyroid, kidney and liver function. I don’t want to brag but my cholesterol numbers were HDL 94, LDL 75 and Triglycerides 140. Oops. I […]
To Anyone Who Ever Tried To Be My Friend, I Am Sorry
It is a rainy dreary day here in Tennessee. And for some reason I am freezing. After I dropped the kids off at school this morning I joked with my husband that I was going back to bed. Something I would never do. Too much to be done for that. He thought about it for […]
