I was a young child in the 60’s and 70’s; the TV series Mad Men depicts perfectly what life was like back then. The times were very vulnerable and trusting of our government for our well being. I watched my Mom daily put on her make up, lipstick and spray her teased hair with heavy hairspray to get dressed for the day. At night she would lather her face with cold cream to sleep...

There is a buzz going around online about comparing dogs to children. A recent post titled, No Your Dog Is Not Your “Baby” – Saying That Is An Insult To Moms published by Elizabeth Broadbent from YourTango, discusses how people who refer to their pets as “Furbabies” or “FurKids” really tick her off. Apparently, the world had a lot to say about this subjec... Read More »

Apparently, I have a regular tendency to convey my negative displeasure toward a situation, item or nature of the environment in the present. Simply put: I bitch a lot. Since my wife so delicately pointed this out to me several months ago, I have been ca... Read More »
I had the weirdest dream: I’m sharing a couch in a hotel bar with “I Just Want to Pee Alone” NYT Bestselling Author, Jen Mann. Our conversation meanders from our mutual admiration for Hugh Howey to me giving her shit about the fact that her rental car has manual roll-down windows. We then somehow make the connection that I was in the PTA with a book blogger that she follows. The next thing I know,... Read More »

I’m Stephanie, and I’m maybe-slightly-kind-of addicted to blogging. I don’t need, like, group meetings and an intervention or anything. I just really, really like it. I can quit anytime. I swear! (No, you don’t need to speak with my husband. Let’s just keep this between us. *wink wink*) I started several years ago, have been through three domain names as I finally nar... Read More »
