Looking through old pictures I realize I don’t have any of me doing activities, I was (still am) a quiet person. Growing up I liked craft classes on a Saturday morning, laying on a lounge chair in my backyard flipping through Tiger Beat, Glamour, Mademoiselle or Seventeen magazines, swimming in the above ground pool we…

I’m spiraling. Way too much is happening in way too short amount of time. Did I see Hulk Hogan on tv last night? Kid Rock? Am I in some sort of Alice in Wonderland trip down a rabbit hole? What is going on? Bob Newhart. Shannen Doherty. Richard Simmons. All passing away. A disturbing rendition…

It’s 2024 I know, but in my head I prefer it to be the 1970’s to 1980’s and I consider this perfectly normal behavior for a 58 year old woman. Every day I like to revisit parts of my childhood, in one small way or another. I may pick up an old book I might’ve…

I think me and my car are on the same page, we could both use a little “MAINT” (short for maintenance in case you didn’t know). It’s funny, these read out lights on my dashboard that won’t go away. As I drive to work every day, I try to think what can I write about,…

The ending to my story will definitely include the word “happy”…. Why are people so sad? Not everyone, but a lot of people in my direct orbit, seem, well, sad. I don’t spend my days screaming from the rooftops about how happy I am, because I’m not. Sure, it would be great, but it’s not…

Apparently, I blinked and, the month of June is coming to a close. Did someone out in space flip a switch that makes time go on super speed? If we could slow it down, would we? Or do we just have to let it keep moving and say ‘someday I’ll get there and do that”? …

So happy I took photos at my childhood home before it got cleaned out. In this photo, I see walls, but I hear voices. I see appliances, but I smell really good meals. I see empty chairs, but I see my family in them. I see that wine glass cabinet, I can hear the cork…

A peek 👀 into what I’ll be up to the next 3 days while I’ll be on a mini break from my full time job. Early morning & evening walks, bike rides and some relaxing pool time are in the line up, as well as: 1. Reading – I’ve heard a lot about this book,…

…that is the question! I’m sitting here trying to come up with something profound, unique and witty to write about and what pops in my head, why fondue of course! Then I start thinking about life and how it relates to fondue. I never said this blog would be sensible, I actually never said what…

In a generation, far, far away, full of bright neon colors & really big hair…lived your grandma & grandpa! It was a time that doesn’t exist anymore, but it was the best! I’m “Gen X” & your grandpa is a “baby boomer”…basically what that means is we were young & cool once, well, or “like,…
