On Friday, August 13, 2021, I posted a photo to Instagram of my hair; proud of how long I’ve managed to get it since shaving it for St. Baldricks in January of 2017. I mused about how long would be long enough and whether or not I’d shave it for charity again. Cue the randomContinue reading “Ok, I’ll call your bluff”

Meat sauce
Hello! I’m back again with another episode of “please don’t follow this recipe if you need structure” because, like pretty much all of my recipes, this is not the recipe for that. Today we have a simple recipe for a tomato based meat sauce using whatever you have handy. For me, that was: Italian sausagesContinue reading “Meat sauce”
Covid Vaccine!
Preventing the transmission of Covid19 has been a priority of mine since the beginning of the first shutdown. I’m not gonna lie to you, when Covid first started making the news I was pretty casual about it. And then it overtook my news feed and every conversation leading up to quarantine. The summer of 2020Continue reading “Covid Vaccine!”
As I had to send out yet *another* message to clients about a potential exposure on my end, I was working through some pretty heavy feelings of guilt and feeling responsible for this happening yet again. I mean, if I really was being careful I wouldn’t have to keep having this conversation, right? I knowContinue reading
Sunday March 14 is Daylight Saving Time
Every spring, Daylight Saving time always seems to sneak up on us. I feel like it’s two weeks in a row of saying “I can’t believe it’s already almost time to spring forward, I’m not looking forward to losing an hour” and then a week or two of complaining about the hour of sleep weContinue reading “Sunday March 14 is Daylight Saving Time”
A year ago
I had just gotten back from what would turn out to be my best timed ever and also last vacation. A few girlfriends and I went away for a weekend. We had been hearing some rumblings of a new virus but it hadn’t really popped up in the states yet, so we weren’t too worriedContinue reading “A year ago”
I always knew I wanted two kids
Possibly a trigger warning: Kids, biological and adopted, pregnancy ******* And up until recently I felt like they would both be biological and if the urge to continue parenting came up I would look into adoption. But something hit me today, hard, that maybe adoption was a more pressing need than having another biological child.Continue reading “I always knew I wanted two kids”
Review: Native and Each and Every natural deodorants
At first this started as just a post to rave about how much I’ve fallen in love with Each and Every deodorants. For me they were an “aha moment” realizing that yes, I can have a variety of deodorant scents to change out like perfume depending on my mood since that had apparently never occurredContinue reading “Review: Native and Each and Every natural deodorants”
Everything is arbitrary: a series
Days and time At first I started with a rant about how everything is arbitrary. Nothing really has actual significance other than what’s been assigned to it by generations past. My first instinct has always been to just launch into a rant and get as passive aggressive as a situation allows me to get whenContinue reading “Everything is arbitrary: a series”
Happy New Year’s Day!
We did it! We survived! Goodbye 2020, and thanks for all the fish! Similar to my feelings as we approached Christmas, it really feels like so much has happened while nothing at all happened, simultaneously. Just about every typical event I look forward to participating in during the nicer months was cancelled, but I alsoContinue reading “Happy New Year’s Day!”
