It's no secret that I like cookies. In fact, I probably love them. My default cookie is a classic Oreo. None of this Double Stuff or backwards or even mint Oreo nonsense. Just plain old Oreos. I love them. I could eat an entire sleeve and probably wouldn't feel all that bad about it (I … Continue reading On becoming a monster….
On worthless memories….
Do you ever wonder why you keep some of the things you keep? I've been wondering that a lot lately. I have a ton of stuff stored in my parents' basement right now and they keep hounding me to get it out so my dad can install a dance floor, but mostly it's because I've … Continue reading On worthless memories….
On the taste of feet in my mouth….
No matter how nice a person we think we are, it's practically an inevitability that we'll act like a total jack-wagon from time to time. I'll be the first to admit that I can be a real jerk sometimes. Most often, this comes out when people misspell words or eff up basic grammar. Yes, I'm … Continue reading On the taste of feet in my mouth….
On getting my next fix….
I'm one of those people that tends to have a really addictive personality. It's gotten me in trouble more times than I can count and it's led to me doing things that I'm not necessarily proud of. Fortunately, I was finally able to curb the crazy several years ago and have focused my addictive personality … Continue reading On getting my next fix….
On the joys of losing….
I like to play games. Scratch that. I LOVE to play games. Growing up, my siblings and I could spend hours playing either Trouble or Monopoly. We were those kids that would save the Monopoly board under the couch and keep coming back to the same game for at least a week. We were champion … Continue reading On the joys of losing….
On the cost of living….
The older I get, the more conscious I am of how much things cost. Growing up, I don't think any of us really understood what it cost our parents to feed and clothe us. Now that I'm an adult, I'm acutely aware of prices and there's very little I buy that isn't on sale or … Continue reading On the cost of living….
On being forceably severed….
One of the worst feelings is being cut off. From people, places, things...it just kind of sucks. And maybe it's not actually BEING cut off, but FEELING cut off. I'm someone that likes, even needs, to feel connected at all times. I haven't watched the morning news in several days and that's starting to get … Continue reading On being forceably severed….
On keeping things regular….
WARNING: Jesus post ahead. Because I am a creature of habit, there are things that happen every day and every week in my life, typically without fail. I have the same routine every morning...wake up, check the news, jump in the shower, put on makeup and clothes, comb my hair, drink my coffee, blowdry my … Continue reading On keeping things regular….
On stopping to smell the roses….
A little more than ten years ago, I was living in Minnesota and generally hating life. So to help myself make it through some really rough days, weeks, and months, I started writing down things that made me happy. I called them Simple Pleasures. My best friend would help me from time to time...she came … Continue reading On stopping to smell the roses….
On states of mind and being….
I am a firm believer in the Sacred Space. I think we all need one. A place to be at peace. A place to be alone with thoughts and feelings, no matter what they are. For a long time, I've always considered the Sacred Space to be somewhere in my house. I love setting up … Continue reading On states of mind and being….
