    Fuck Valentine’s Day

    February 14, 2020 / No Comments

    Fuck Valentine’s Day.  Who needs it? In the days leading up to this puffy pink holiday of jaded love, I was bombarded with ads reminding me that I wasn’t complete unless I was celebrating this holiday with someone special. So I am. As I sit alone, at the bar of my favorite drafthouse movie theater, drinking a beer and waiting to see a movie, I am spending time with me.

    Alone versus Lonely

    December 26, 2019 / No Comments

    If there is one thought that has been lingering on my mind over the last several weeks is the pros and cons of remaining alone. Sometimes I wonder if I am just making a martyr of myself post-divorce, or if I am truly meant to walk the earth a lone wolf.

    Merry Christmas to Me – the Gift of Peace

    December 25, 2019 / No Comments

    There are many benefits to having older teens. First is that I no longer have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn on Christmas morning to open presents, or to do the “Christmas” thing.

    Tales of an Outsider

    September 2, 2014 / No Comments

    I am an outsider in my office. I’ve only lived in Texas a year, I am working a job intended for someone younger than me (about 15 years younger), and the people who are my age are employees fully invested in the pathetic drama that comes from working for a public academic institution.

    Pump Your Brakes

    January 22, 2014 / No Comments

    Recently I needed to have my truck fixed. It so happened that the tow truck driver who arrived for my roadside assistance knew a guy who could fix it for cheap, and more importantly, do the repair that afternoon. Great!

I blog about the random ass shit going on in my life. I'm a single mom, a Navy veteran, avid reader, and coping with life post-divorce. I have two sons and five cats, so clearly, I'm a catch. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
