ruling the queendom is a dirty job
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 […]

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 […]

A little over a week ago, I got into a disagreement with a coworker. It was small and petty and completely unattached to anything work-related. What the argument was about really isn’t important. It was a “nothing” exchange. The whole thing was bizarre and completely unwarranted: I listened to the agressiveness coming from this person not with fear (because unfortunately, as a […]
