    Excuse Me, Mansplainer

    June 7, 2020 / No Comments

    I was going to write a poem to mark the occasion. It would have been titled: Ode to the Mansplainer, and it was going to be epic. I had the whole opus worked out in my head, as I composed it in the shower. However, like all things fleeting, the words washed out of my hair right down the drain so I had forgotten it all by the time I was toweling myself dry. Sigh.

  • Divorced. Now what?,  Marital Hiss

    September 10, 2014 / No Comments

    Everyone was shocked when they heard the news that I was divorcing mr horrible. I mean everyone. My friends, my family and acquaintances. No one suspected things were bad. Why? Because I wore a fake face 100% of the time, and even when I was “keeping things real” with by BFFs, there was still a spin to every story I told.

    Why You Trippin’?

    May 23, 2014 / No Comments

    Should I be worried? I agreed to visit a friend over the coming holiday weekend but now I question the ferocity of the invite… I’m talking about a person who rarely keeps in contact with me since they got in a relationship but now they’ve been blowing up my phone for the last week and change. Why they be trippin’?

    He Expected a Fight and Other Epiphanies

    September 30, 2013 / 1 Comment

    I came to the realization this weekend that I have outgrown the ex. I find the ex tedious, and this epiphany was as frightening as it was enlightening.

    Mistake #2: Believing that the man you married was who you thought he was. Not understanding that the underlying cause for all your frustration was that who he said he was and how he actually was could not be logically reconciled and there was a constant conflict always under the surface, coasting somewhere under the radar.

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.
