Somewhere out there, in this vast universe of ours, there is a woman getting all the good karma possible. She must be stealing it from me because I can’t believe sometimes how it all just rains shits in my life. Something fantastic will happen and then it seems to stop, back up like a garbage [...]
First, I owe Mallory her birthday post. That poor kid hasn’t even gotten a birthday card from me because I spent all day Saturday moving out of my rental home and moving to my purchased one. I think it’s funny that my youngest asked me, “Mom? Is this our permanent home?” as if to imply [...]
I forgot that I had this category entitled “Feelin’ Good Wednesday” so I figured, “Hey. It’s Wednesday. I’m feelin’ good. Why not?” So here we are. Wednesday. The last week has been a ridiculous ride of graduations (Congratulations, nephew! I’m so proud of you, Kyle! I’ll be posting pictures of that event soon!) and seeing [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve given an update on the Purse Drive that I started a few months back. If you’re so totally over the fact that I came up with the Purse Drive let me just say this: there is a big ol’ contest I’m doing to win a $500 Visa gift card [...]
I’m not here today. Don’t mind me. I’m just stopping in to tell you that I’m elsewhere. First, I’m here at ConnectEd. And it wasn’t just today. But a while ago I was interviewed about education and spoke to the writer of this article. Even though it was published back in June (waayyyy back in [...]

There is safety in numbers. Especially small ones. The issue is, naturally, race. It’s a topic that I’ve come to be [...]
Imagine, if you will, that my best friend sends me an invitation to her wedding. Imagine, too, that she lives across the country and there is an entire year before the event. Naturally, I’m going to look at the calendar and check to see if I can make it. Next, I’m going to assess whether [...]
“Oh. I heard about the (whisper) divorce, Kelly. I’m so sorry.” “Are you dating yet?” “You’ll find someone.” “Oh. I heard about the (whisper) adoptive daughter who came back into your life. Wow. Tell me more about that. How’s it going?” “You seemed (whisper) depressed this past year in your writing.” “You don’t have a [...]
There are strange things happening to my blog lately. A few people have mentioned it but others said it looks fine. A warning message keeps popping up so this post will be short. I hope I don’t break my blog by posting! I’m over at BlogHer again today with a new Beauty Hacks post. You [...]
