7 Pounds of Clotted Cream & Scones Jan 10, 2022
Ever eat something you "shouldn't"? (Picture me using air quotes here.) Perhaps this time of year, in particular? Ever beat yourself up about it?
 
I'm not trying to hit my high school weight, wear a particular pair of jeans I've held onto for 6 years or even hit a particular number...My desire is...

Is It Worth It? Jan 09, 2022
How often do you ask yourself, "Is it worth it?"
 
Maybe this is something you ask yourself about the hours you work, relationships, a weekend away...whatever.
 
If it's not something you consistently ask yourself about areas of your life, I encourage you to start. 
 
Because if something isn'...

Would You Eat Cheese Curds Off the Ground? Nov 11, 2021
Would you eat cheese curds that had fallen on the ground?
 
"You're eating cheese curds that were on the ground," was my 8-year old's response after I told him to go wash his hands. 
 
"Excellent point, Miles. Yeah...Never mind."
 
The cheese curds were incredible until the fall.  And they w...

What Do You Want Enough? Nov 07, 2021
Are you a green thumb like me? 
 
Pretty much anything I buy stays alive throughout the checkout process & even throughout the drive home.
 
Then it eventually it ends up looking like this.
 
But I'm ok with it.  Why?  Because it's not my thing, & I'm not passionate about it becoming my thing....

Life is Kind of Like Dessert, Isn't It? Nov 06, 2021
Ready for a super funny message to start the weekend off right? 😉 
 
“None of us gets out of here alive.”
 
We all laughed.  (See? It's funny, right?)
 
My mom & I were at the funeral home planning her funeral, & the former school teacher who was helping us was pretty damn witty.  You know......

Do You Like Red Velvet Cake with "Normal" Frosting? Nov 04, 2021
Ya know...I don't get too worked up about MOST things...
 
Someone pulls in front of me in traffic?  I'm annoyed but then (usually) immediately think...Well, maybe he's having a bad day...His dog is sick, & he's in a hurry to get him to the vet.
 
Someone is my version of rude?  Wow.  She must h...

Mismatched Socks Nov 03, 2021
So there's this guy in my workout class who always wears mismatched socks. 
 
I mean...Not athletic socks with red stripes vs blue ones....I'm talking "business" socks.  You know...Like brown ones with pinstripes vs gray with plaid. 
 
Anyway, I've always been curious...What's up with the socks?...

Is It REALLY Too Late? Sep 08, 2021

 

A friend of mine is in an arranged marriage.  She's from India, & her parents arranged her marriage when she was 26...WELL past her prime based on Indian norms.

 

We laughed as she shared her story & described 26 as "old".

 

Fascinating how much social norms impact timing & decision making ov...

How Are YOU Doing? Are You Adjusting? Sep 07, 2021

Is this time of year yet another adjustment for you?

Is it the start of the school year?

Are you going back? Have you dropped kids off at college? Or at the bus stop?

Now that we're back to "normal"? As if there is such thing?

I feel like I just found last year's sunscreen, realized it was expired, got ...

Something Is Better Than Nothing Aug 09, 2021

You know that feeling when your alarm doesn't go off & you wake up late? And you're groggy & confused & oddly well rested at the same time?

I woke up at 8 yesterday morning, which was particularly confusing because I had set my alarm for 7. Turns out it matters if you set it for AM or PM. 

Unfortu...

Do You Ever Lose Your Sh*t? Just Me? 4 Tips for Getting It Back Jul 22, 2021

 Do you ever lose your sh*t?? 

I do.

A few months ago, the door of my 2008 Odyssey fell off.  Turns out automatic sliding doors are only convenient when they're actually on the vehicle & function.

Yesterday morning, my other door fell off...the one the boys had been able to get in & out of...at l...

Ever Feel Like Clark Griswold? Jul 22, 2021

Have you seen European Vacation?  (Yes, the one with Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold who takes his fam on a journey through Europe.)

(If you haven't, please stop reading this & watch it immediately... 2-hour pause.)

One of my favorite parts is when they're stuck on the roundabout in London.
