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, […]
#MeToo
I was 23. It was January, 1999. I’d just left Central the previous spring, and was living at home with my parents. Money meant working at Marshall Fields (now Macy’s) while looking for a full time job more likely to develop into an actual career. The internet was just becoming mainstream with dial up capabilities, and as […]
Donald Trump IS Exactly Who We Need As President
I’m pretty sure all of you who know my political views are thinking I’ve either completely lost my mind or that I’m beginning to see the light. “Did Mo really just said that Donald Trump is exactly who we need as President? Really? Seriously? No, REALLY?” Really. Donald Trump IS exactly who we need as President. […]
“Your lack of concern concerns me.” — Shirley, my boss
A few months ago, my co-worker and I stopped at the nearby Speedway gas station for pop (soda, whatever) after picking up the office lunch. This is a store I go into three or four times a week to buy beverages, chips, and whatever else we may need that day. They know me by name, I […]
“The glamour of it all! New York! America!”
~ Charlie Chaplin Tomorrow evening, for the first time in about eight years, I’ll step onto an airplane. I’m a little anxious about this. Not because I have a fear of flying; I don’t. Rather, it’s the destination itself that’s making me anxious. After a few years of tossing the idea around, Jen and I […]
“Have no fear of perfection — you’ll never reach it.”
~ Salvador Dali A few months ago, I swiped my friend Kristyn’s Facebook post from her KP Designs page: “PERFECTION IS BORING: True or False?” And ladies, y’all have some great opinions on this. My friend Ann whom if I remember this correctly is married to a Chef (at the very least, she brags constantly […]
To Mo, On Your 37th Birthday
Today is my 37th birthday. I'm sitting in my home office writing this, having taken the day off work. I had originally intended to go to the DIA today, but somewhere between my bout of self-pity and realizing I had less than $20 in my checking account I decided that may not be the best […]
“Let us always meet each other with smile…
… for the smile is the beginning of love." ~ Mother Theresa A lot of blog posts have been rolling around in my mind over the course of my silence (not intentional, just circumstantial… my silence that is) but this one was first and foremost. I've debated many times over whether I wanted to share […]
This is a picture of Igor's desk drawer that Glinda so generously contributed. All together now: GROSS!
“Never spend your money before you have earned it.” – Thomas Jefferson
Need some extra money? Sure you do! And if you don't, I want to be you. All joking aside…. I'm offering up a $25 Visa card to the person who promotes Mo Livin' Large the best. You can either promote the blog itself, the Mo Livin' Large Facebook page, or both. From now until […]
