It’s Been A Long, Long Time

September 8, 2024

I haven’t posted since 2017. I don’t know why. I should’ve been able to post a ton of content in 2020, but don’t know why I didn’t. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times my blog went down. And then my bestie’s husband would be kind enough to get it back up, […]

Spring, 2005 when I was separated but not legally divorced and still living with Dipshit I was doing the duck/squat walk between cars in a Target parking lot, whispering into the phone with Kony. “Yes, I’m sure it’s him,” I hissed into the phone, raising myself up to look over the hood of a car […]

“Memory… is the diary that we all carry about with us.”

~ Oscar Wilde Several weeks ago, I was sitting on my couch, quietly reading a book and I glanced up. My eyes lingered on a Vettriano print I have hanging in the corner and as I began thinking about the painting I realized…. It's gotta go. "Dance Me To The End of Love" is a […]

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times…

… always with the same person." ~ Mignon McLaughlin Before Clark dumped me (okay, okay, he didn't dump me), we were trying to make arrangements to meet. "How about Tuesday?" he asked. "Can't on Tuesday. I have a wedding to go to." "A wedding? Who gets married on a Tuesday?" "My dad." I started grinning. […]

~ Semisonic's "Closing Time" Remember Heath, my original stalking victim and one of my most popular blogposts to date? Here's a little story about what happened after graduation. It was the summer of '97 and the Red Wings were in the play offs. On the night of the final game, I was on the rooftop […]

… so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense." ~ William Lyon Phelps March 12 was the 100th birthday of an organization I hold very near and dear to my heart: Girl Scouts. Because of Girl Scouts, I have seen and done things I wouldn't ordinarily do. I have made life long friends. […]

… every step you take, I'll be watching you." ~ "Every Breath" by The Police Once upon a time, Mo was a stalker. (I'm pausing while I wait for the laughter to die down because those who know me well know I still have mad Google stalking skills). This is a story about my early […]

“What would you say to the one who got away?”

February 21, 2012

I saw this on a Facebook post from Etsy. It got me thinking about what I'd want to say. So since I am ALL about sharing, here's what I would say. For those who know me and have been around awhile, see if you know who I'm writing these to. 🙂 Dear California:Thank you for […]

“A lifetime’s passed by you….

February 13, 2012

… What would you say?" ~ Dave Matthews Band "What Would You Say" I'm sure by now most of us have seen the YouTube video Dear 16-Year-Old-Me.

… and this is everybody's wish" ~ Michael Jordan I've been having a lot of blonde moments as of late, but this one takes the cake. Even if it happened more than ten years ago. Michael Jordan's home in Chicago had pink marble in it. Very, very pale pink marble, but pink all the same. […]
