I have mice in my house. Rather – I have mice in my 550 square foot, top floor studio apartment-there’s a big difference. They say that when you see a mouse, that means you have a bigger mouse problem than you think. And I’ve been seeing a mouse scurrying around my home nearly every other…
I’ve been thinking about a chop for a while, and god I love bangs. I had bangs once several years ago but never had the nerve to wear them curly. Now that I’m older, wiser, and have embraced my curls (it’s a lifelong journey ya’ll), I’ve decided to make the classic Tara Borman move: say…
I’ve been medicated since the early 2000s. I have never been ashamed of it, but the progression of “oh this is a weird quirky thing about me” to “I’m taking this, what are you taking” and knowing you’ll get an answer is…great! The mental health stigma has lessened so much over the last 22 years…
It’s the Sunday night before my last week of work and I have not processed my feelings yet. The main thing I feel is scared. Scared out of my mind. Scared shitless. I have moments of panic where my heart races and I get tunnel vision and everything feels, well, scary. An overarching feeling I…
Everybody had a good yearEverybody let their hair downEverybody pulled their socks upEverybody put their foot downOh yeah, oh yeah I’ve got a feeling – The Beatles – Let it Be 1970 Please excuse the long title. And the fact that “wet dream” is in it. My apologies. I know you’ve all been on the…

My little sister is pregnant. My baby sister is PREG-NANT. She is growing a HU-MAN BE-ING inside of her BO-DY. Can you tell I am still wrapping my mind around this concept? I am the oldest of 3. My baby sister, Taylor, is married to a wonderful person, and is two short months away from…
How does one describe love? Venti Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. That’s how. I wonder sometimes if the baristas behind the bar at the Highland Park Starbucks know how much they mean to me. This $4.81 treat is sometimes the one thing I get out of bed for on a Monday morning. I am specific…
I am STRESSED THIS WEEK so read at your own risk. I spend forty hours a week sitting and looking at a screen at a corporate office. I solve other people’s problems. I draft memos. I answer the phone. It’s a blessing to have this solid, continuous work because I make money, and in our…
And Midsommar, and Below Deck, and Gossip Girl, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and… I swear I’ve seen everything there is to see. As a Taurus-y Taurus, I do love a good “lounge”. A good “potato sesh”. I have carved out a nice, deep, cozy spot on my couch that fits my booty…
