As a school counselor, a big part of my job is to be a manager of emotions. I fail… a lot. Blame it on my Irish temper and sass, both of which can be strong, but I often find myself in need of managing myself. Part of this managing is to take a few minutes… Continue reading the thankful experiment
Not quite sure how it is already nearing the end of May, but here we are. Spring 2023 thoughts… Part 1: I’m a Swiftie. I’m also 40, so understand me when I say I don’t care about the endless hints/Easter eggs and more that our queen drops. While I find that interesting, I don’t obsess… Continue reading catch up…
I want to take a moment to celebrate the absolute beauty that is friendship. My absolute favorite blogger recently wrote a confession about not having close friendships. I read that and was so mystified because she’s not only incredibly funny, but also kind and insightful and has a way with her writing that draws you… Continue reading for my girls…
Prepare, dear reader, for some internal thinking that I’ve decided to just purge on this wee little blog. First of all, it’s a new year and there is always something weirdly refreshing about a new year. I don’t really love the idea of resolutions because it always seems to be something that you break or… Continue reading reboots & lists, apparently
Wanna know a secret? When I was a kid, my biggest dream was to be on Saturday Night Live. I was fortunate that I grew up during a time when SNL was cleverly risque and I didn’t understand a lot of the nuanced inappropriate humor. I would sit at home and watch Mike Myers do… Continue reading not-ready-for-prime-time-player
I know. I know. I’m too old. I shouldn’t care about these trendy apps that the kiddos are obsessed with, but I am. Y’all. I love TikTok. Now, as I type this, I feel it’s SUPER important to stress that I have used it long enough that the algorithm mostly gets me. I’m interested in… Continue reading an appreciation post
Woah. It’s been over two years since I wrote for this little corner of the internet. Let’s be real, though. What’s been worthy of blogging about over the past two years? I’m sure some would disagree with me, but we all lived through/are living through the pandemic. We’re all living through changing times with new… Continue reading lather·rinse·repeat
It is so insane to say that we are hours away from 2020. Typing that was nuts. Also, anyone else constantly hearing it in this voice? I feel like the last couple of years have been so important in shaping so many parts of my life. I took a new job and career shift in… Continue reading twenty nineteen
I really enjoy reading bloggers like Linda over at Sundry Mourning (seriously, I’ve read her blog for over 10 years and she is just so incredibly gifted) and have always liked her suggestions for products, books, music, etc. In fact, she recently launched Sundry Buzz to share her faves. Considering the fact that I am somewhat totally… Continue reading faves
Hitting the feels with this one… No Hard Feelings by The Avett Brothers; Album – True Sadness, 2016. So, The Avett Brothers have kind of been on my fringe of “artists I dig, but don’t really know until I hear them on a random radio station” for a while now. A few years ago, I think… Continue reading much good for anyone
