I love to see them, but I will never take any. Ever. Why? That’ll take a bit of … More Bluebonnet Pics? Nope!
It’s been a few weeks since we bid Ted Lasso goodbye. Not gonna lie, I miss getting the weekly notification that a new episode is available. You’ll be missed Ted, Rebecca, Roy, Beard, Jamie, Keeley, et al. As a small token of my appreciation, I’d like to take a moment to thank the gang for … More Thank You Ted Lasso

Honestly, that’s the unit that provided the … More It’s Early Yet
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a situation? And then realized you had to just put on your big girl panties and get ‘er done? Yeah, me too. And I must say, despite my belief to the contrary, I have always made it to the other side. Often by the very skin of my teeth, … More No Other Choice
It’s been a couple of months now since I returned to this space. Thankfully, I’ve watched my readership slowly increase. Some weeks are lower than others, but the trend is up so I’m claiming that as a win. But I could not have accomplished that without all of you. I wanted to take a moment … More Thank You and Please
