I had the thought this morning that every school day morning with my children ages me two mornings, which means I will die twice as fast. With that thought in mind, I figure I better get some words out there before I meet my demise. The last several days have been a whole mix of … Read More
I never had much interest in Twitter. I had Facebook and Instagram accounts and I had decided to draw the line there. Looking at this now I can see that it is a typical human response to something we don’t understand. There is this thing that happens to us as we age–we either decide there … Read More
I wrote a couple days ago about how I had stepped away from a couple friendships with people I genuinely love. This is how I pictured it would go: The two friends respond with some version of, “Well fuck you, ya dickbag!” and they go skipping off into the sunset holding hands. Easy. Clean cut. … Read More
I let go of two friendships today. Both were with people I love and care about but I felt like the dynamic between us was hurting me. I felt very clear-headed about this decision earlier today and was certain I was doing the right thing to take care of my mental health. And then, the … Read More
Today is a rough day. Nothing catastrophic happened, although my kid kept me up most of the night screaming, blowing her nose, and throwing up (poor baby). But aside from that, there are no obvious circumstances causing this day in particular to be rough for me. I’ve spent most of the day in bed because … Read More
I have no idea why, but a few new people have started following my little blog lately. Thank you so much! It’s a good reminder to keep writing, especially since I’ve been obsessed with a creative project my husband and I are working on together, which is a podcast called “I Never Saw That.” Yes, … Read More

I haven’t been writing much lately. I have little spurts of motivation followed by long stretches of what’s the fucking point? Today is New Years Day. Why is there an s on the end of “new years” anyway? This holiday is ridiculous. Another new year. Upon each new year, we reflect upon the previous year, and … Read More
I know a lot of people think I overshare and probably think I’m an attention seeking butthole but I don’t care because I can’t care, either love me anyway or don’t, but I’m really struggling in this moment and need to put it out somewhere. I’m in one of those existential depressed mindsets where I … Read More
“Ordinary fucking people.” It’s a line from Repo Man. It came up in an episode of Party Down I was re-watching the other night. Roman (played by the underrated Martin Starr) quotes it in one of his many moments of frustration with people and what he sees as the superficial lives they lead. Roman’s frustration resonated with … Read More
