A Letter to My Favorite Auntie

Hey Auntie, I just thought about something I hadn’t thought about for a while.  It was a little inside joke we had… BOK.  I just said to my dog, “Everything is going to ‘be OK’,” and then laughed because I thought of you. I think about you a lot.  I miss you.  You were such […]

Treat Yo’Self Team, 2015!

Did anyone else feel like 2014 was the year of not-treating-yourself-to-anything year?  Because I sure did.  All the way down to my daily meals. Let’s start there.  For almost a year I ate the following meals on the daily: – A half of swiss cheese and vegennaise sandwich and an instant soup for breakfast; – […]

Right Now I Feel Like Veronica from the movie “Heathers”

My Mom, for Mother’s Day

My mom is pretty fucking awesome.  Of course, as with most kids I think, we don’t always realize how awesome our moms were until we get older.  I knew in my 20s that my mom was the bomb. My co-worker says my mom is OG. That’s legit.  She said that after I told her the […]
