I’ve been cleaning up my blog to provide a better reader experience. Typing that sentence made me feel like a hipster doofus. It’s possible I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest for too long because I now think everything is an “experience” and not just something to kill time with because you’re bored and the cable went out,…

I first published this post 4 years ago. I was wrong. I love twitter and it’s my social media of choice at this point. I spend more time creating fun hashtags than I ever thought I would. My only regret is the time I lost while I was digging in my heels and trying to…

GOOD MORNING! Sorry, I felt compelled to yell that at you because it’s just about 5am as I write and I haven’t been to bed yet – I’m getting a bit punchy. It’s my big blog link up night so I usually only catch a cat nap from 6am – 11am. I basically party with the…

I set a goal for myself to blog for 30 straight days. It is now 9:32pm on Friday night and I haven’t posted anything today. Considering my Taco Bell counter has looked abysmal for the past week, I cannot fail at my blogging goal. My name is Heather and I’ve been Taco Bell free for…

Society is under attack by a new and invasive adversary that will stop at nothing to watch us fall…ducklips. Regretfully, I don’t know if they are actually called that or even if I spelled it correctly. It could be duck lips, duck head, duck face… you get the picture. I’m sure you’ve seen a pose or…

I had to take this morning off to watch the inauguration and stare with dumbfounded shock at the “peaceful” protests that were being held in Washington D.C. Here we go, my first (and hopefully only) political post ever. Why do people who are protesting, inevitably end up smashing the property around them? The protestors on…

I’ve been challenged to blog every day for an entire month. Normally I post 5 or so blogs a week, sometimes less and sometimes more. It just depends on how much of my crazy I’m willing to let the public see. Well, now there’s no avoiding it. I’m going to post every day for the…

I broke my foot. Once again, I have broken my foot and I have no idea how or when I did it. For about three weeks my foot has been in pain, most days I just limp around the house in denial that I need to see a doctor. Today was the end of that…

While looking through Facebook this morning, I’ve come to a realization that shook my very soul. I’m an old woman. Seriously, I’m in mid-life. At 33 years old, I can no longer identify half the costumes that kids are picking out for Halloween this year. Sure, I can spot the big ones, Disney movies like…

Nine very short months ago, I wrote a little blog post about my internal organs doing some remodeling out of jealousy that our home was being remodeled. What many of you don’t know, is that a week before that appendix rupture, I was in the same emergency room, with the same doctor and nurses, because a…
