ruling the queendom is a dirty job
A few weeks ago, I went on an out of town trip for a day for a company party. Left Saturday morning and was back Sunday evening… okay… 2 days I guess. Weeks before I left and even days after I got back, the main thing I got asked was “What about The Boy?” Actually […]
Happy New Year, all! Yeah, yeah I know – it’s been 2019 for a hot minute, you loser. We’re full on in this ish now… The new year doesn’t really count until we survive the first full week. This is when all those resolutions are dunzo or on the edge of dunzo. This is why I […]
I like to say my life is boring. In the grandest scheme of things, my life is indeed pretty freakin’ boring. I mean, come on. I am an extremely introverted [read: granny life] single mom. That pretty much sums me up. But the dogs do help make my life less boring. If I’m not telling Bucket Head […]
Guys, it’s time for that time honored tradition! My worst (and only) Halloween date ever! Y’all probably know this story, but here we go! Buckle up kids. It’s scary story time. Back in college, a very cute boy asked me out. And duh I said yes. We shall call cute coed Sarge. Many people think […]
Over the summer, the boy and I went to see a movie and we saw the trailer for “The Hate U Give”. He had questions. “Is this a true story?” “Did this really happen?” And so began the popping of that sweet kid bubble. I told him that while the movie was not a true […]

Proud to say I survived Week 1 of my Six Week Challenge with our local Iron Dog Gym. Barely… but barely still counts. Oh yes… I forgot to mention my car broke down again Friday. I could have really used shots after that, but instead I had chocolate milk (NOT ALLOWED IN MY MEAL PLAN) […]
Note: These aren’t my words. This isn’t my journey. But it could be. It could be anyone’s. This is Alma’s journey. Thank you for being brave enough to share. I haven’t edited this in any way. On Depression. It’s messy It can leave you in a puddle, snot nosed, crying (for no apparent reason). It […]
I’m fat. There’s no other way to say it. I’m the most I’ve ever weighed and I feel the lowest I’ve ever felt. I’ve never been fit, but I was fairly active. Then… I wasn’t. Then I was like “Whoa, girl! Time to lose some weight!” So I got started and got active again..until I […]
Note: Many of you might be familiar with my semi-regular postings about my own dealings with depression and anxiety and overall mental health. That is my war. I am willing to share my own war with you all to shine the light on mental health. My dear friend, Mike is willing to share his own […]
