Ok. It’s time I step into the confessional. My personal life has been…a struggle recently. I’ve been feeling out of control. And I’m going to be honest…it’s because I have just been mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically exhausted. I’ve been getting home after back to back to back 12-hour days just in such a piss-poorContinue reading Putting my Foot Down
Swiping for Love
Warning. This is a post about my love life. Or rather…lack there of. You guys, I have a confession…I recently joined the dating app, Bumble. It was a moment of weakness. I was out with friends and my inhibitions were…how should I say…compromised. (Dang tequila…) But my friends made a profile for me and…whatever. It’s honestly beenContinue reading Swiping for Love
Lessons from a 93 Year Old
I had one of those experiences last night that’s going to stick with me for a long time. Sunday night. 7:30pm. And I was going to a church I had never been to. I moseyed in the back and found a seat in the second-to-last row, just off the aisle. Mass started. We were aboutContinue reading Lessons from a 93 Year Old

Ohh Back to School
You know what I miss? Back to school. Back to school everything. The excitement. The shopping. Decorating my locker. Getting new pens and school supplies. Finding out my schedule and comparing it to my friends’ and crushes’. *Sigh* Those were the days. I was always one of those people that geeked out over school supplies. I loved color coordinatingContinue reading Ohh Back to School
Stolen Identity
Sooo my identity got stolen this weekend. Yeah… And believe me, the irony was not lost on me that this happened right after I revealed my identity on this blog. And after spending countless hours on-hold on the phone with various credit card companies and banks and computer troubleshooters, and online accounts, I was…emotionally exhausted, to say theContinue reading Stolen Identity
Don’t Call Me Princess
I was very much a child of the nineties. I sported a side pony. Ate dunkeroos. Danced the Macarena. Enjoyed non-Pixar Disney movies, and crushed HARD on Aaron Carter. But I was also a “Christian” nineties kid: I went to a faith based sleep away camp every summer where comedian Brian Regan was right up thereContinue reading Don’t Call Me Princess
Raising the Bar
If there’s on Olympic event that is simultaneously the most mesmerizing, and yet the most head-scrating thing ever, it’s…pole vaulting. No, not rhythmic gymnastics. Although, that’s a close second. Pole vaulting. I mean, I’d like to meet the guy who invented that event! Like, Okay, I’m going to willing catapult my body through the air, over a ridiculously highContinue reading Raising the Bar
