As a school counselor, a big part of my job is to be a manager of emotions. I fail… a lot. Blame it on my Irish temper and sass, both of which can be strong, but I often find myself in need of managing myself. Part of this managing is to take a few minutes… Continue reading the thankful experiment
Not quite sure how it is already nearing the end of May, but here we are. Spring 2023 thoughts… Part 1: I’m a Swiftie. I’m also 40, so understand me when I say I don’t care about the endless hints/Easter eggs and more that our queen drops. While I find that interesting, I don’t obsess… Continue reading catch up…
I want to take a moment to celebrate the absolute beauty that is friendship. My absolute favorite blogger recently wrote a confession about not having close friendships. I read that and was so mystified because she’s not only incredibly funny, but also kind and insightful and has a way with her writing that draws you… Continue reading for my girls…
Prepare, dear reader, for some internal thinking that I’ve decided to just purge on this wee little blog. First of all, it’s a new year and there is always something weirdly refreshing about a new year. I don’t really love the idea of resolutions because it always seems to be something that you break or… Continue reading reboots & lists, apparently
Wanna know a secret? When I was a kid, my biggest dream was to be on Saturday Night Live. I was fortunate that I grew up during a time when SNL was cleverly risque and I didn’t understand a lot of the nuanced inappropriate humor. I would sit at home and watch Mike Myers do… Continue reading not-ready-for-prime-time-player
Y’all… Yet again, our girl made a masterpiece. I’ve read some reviews that aren’t as glowing, but ya know, “haters gonna hate.” What I love so much about T Swizzle’s new album would include: Let’s not even dive into the *brilliant* marketing campaign of “Midnights Mayhem with Me” that queen T posted nightly on TikTok.… Continue reading of course…
I know. I know. I’m too old. I shouldn’t care about these trendy apps that the kiddos are obsessed with, but I am. Y’all. I love TikTok. Now, as I type this, I feel it’s SUPER important to stress that I have used it long enough that the algorithm mostly gets me. I’m interested in… Continue reading an appreciation post
As mentioned in my previous “music monday” segment, I’ve been made aware of new artists through TikTok. Well, let me again brag about a bit of music that I found out about through my favorite “educational scrolling app” – TikTok. The content creator is @helloalliii and she has created a Spotify playlist that just hits… Continue reading a playlist that will just hit
Y’all… How have I gone this long without the magic of Lake Street Dive in my life? Thank goodness for TikTok (more to come on that subject later), but JackyFlanagan made a “Serotonin Boost Playlist” and shared the link on one of her videos. I perused it and recognized several songs/artists, so I followed it… Continue reading a return to music mondays
Woah. It’s been over two years since I wrote for this little corner of the internet. Let’s be real, though. What’s been worthy of blogging about over the past two years? I’m sure some would disagree with me, but we all lived through/are living through the pandemic. We’re all living through changing times with new… Continue reading lather·rinse·repeat
