How ‘Fleischman is in trouble’ saved me from nostalgic disaster

I’ve always been a nostalgic person. Even when I was in elementary school, I would look back fondly on my pre-school days and think of how great my life had been when I could wake up, have breakfast with Gram, watch Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers and spend the rest of the day playing with […]

You say woke like it’s a bad thing. . .

It’s so funny to me how some people use “woke” as an insult. Merriam Webster defines it as: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice). If you want to call me woke, well, thanks! I’d like to think I am, but I also know […]

Weighing in on Weight Watchers

I started writing this post years ago and never quite put the finishing touches on it. I recently re-joined WW to get back on track after an indulgent holiday season. My sentiments about it are still the same as when I wrote this – so here’s my story! Also, a lil disclaimer before we get […]

ex-christadelphian FAQ

Over the years, I’ve been asked about my experience in Christadelphia, leaving it and moving on with life after. Here’s a compilation of questions and answers. I will probably edit and add more as time goes on. Feel free to ask more in the comments.

The Artist’s Way

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is one of those books I have heard about from just about every creative guru, from writers to painters to belly button lint weavers. It’s like the Bible for artists or something. So of course, I never read it. It came out in the early 90’s, which was probably […]

Things I still feel guilty about 20 years later.

As I’m sure most people can relate, I’ve done some dumb things in my life. Sometimes these moments are laughed off, sometimes they go down in the record books (see my umbrella story) and other times they just haunt me forever. This particular story haunts me because I am ashamed to have been the bigoted […]

Apocalypse Nope

Turns out, I might not really want to live in a post-apocalyptic dystopian future.

John from Cutco

When I was a kid, our Meeting only had a handful of people. It was 3 or 4 families with kids around my age, two sets of grandparents and a few single folks. It sounds weird now that I think back on it, but it was totally normal at the time! We would hold public […]

The eyes have it

Last week I gouged myself in the eye with the tip of an eye drop vial. You know the single-dose kind with the twist off top? You’re supposed to throw it away once you’ve used it. Or, if you’re me, you put it in the medicine cabinet because you can get another dose out of […]

It’s been a long, long, long time…

Hiii! Oh my, it’s been a dog’s age, hasn’t it? Where do I even begin? A lot has happened since I last wrote: my lil baby nephew is a big honkin’ toddler now, Dave and I bought a house and moved to the other side of the state, we said goodbye to our beloved Autumn-cat, […]
