I had big plans for you all today. For the past several days I’ve been working on a new post about things that keep me awake at night. It was so entertaining that I’ve spent nights laughing and waking up just to jot down notes. Today was supposed to be the day I finalized my witty…

Well, I’ve had an exciting day! We were hit with a mighty snowstorm last night and it carried over into today. I spent the day with no electricity….aaaahhhhh! But wait, was I without electricity for days at a time, reminiscing about how much this winter was like the previous one?! No, I was not!! That…

I didn’t post a blog yesterday so that goal is officially dead in the water. I wish I had a good reason but I do not. Unless you consider binge watching Seinfeld and eating ice cream a valid reason to abandon my goals. Now that I’ve typed it, the reason does seem pretty damn valid.…

Well it’s over, it’s all over! After an 82 day streak my Taco Bell addiction was too much. Hubster went to bed at 11pm and I started plotting my escape to get nacho cheese. I tried to be strong. I even appealed to social media for help but everyone was sleeping. By 1am the strength…

I started writing this post and thought it would be one or two paragraphs at most. I should have known better.  Last night I discovered what a weirdo I was. I mean, I always knew I was weird, but last night really drove home how weird I was. I met a new blogger friend who is…

I decided to check into my blog after the third Twitter message came through asking if I had finally eaten the Twinkie that took my life. No, no Twinkies have killed me! I’ve been spending some time with Hubster who is lounging at home for a few weeks. I’ve also been preparing myself for a visit…

Everyone has the key to a successful marriage. Whether or not that key actually works for a marriage is another story. My favorite “key to marriage” trope is compromise. Everyone touts compromise like it’s the second coming of Christ and your marriage will be peaceful and harmonious if you participate in it. That’s not exactly…

Well I’ve done it! I’ve beaten (or eaten) my way through a two-week slump where there were virtually NO funny ideas coming out of my head. I just woke up each morning at a reasonable hour, thought mundane things that made no one laugh, and then went to bed promptly at 10 each night. Hubster…

Someone asked me recently who my best friend was. I was thrown for a loop because as an adult, having a single best friend seems oddly out-of-place. I have a “best friend” at every duty station the Navy has put us in. Heck, I have more than one in most places thanks to the revolving…

For the past week I’ve been working my tail off on designs for my Zazzle store. I knew I couldn’t solve all of America’s election problems so I decided to make what little difference I could- retail therapy. I even started throwing in sales on election day just so people could come home and cry…
