I read this article Saturday in which the writer describes the reasons she broke up with “perfect” guys like he didn’t like books or movies. I don’t judge her for it. I don’t believe in staying with anyone. If they aren’t your big love, and you are done for whatever reason, then by all means, …

The Universe Makes Me a Liar
Friday night, I went up to the hospital to sit with Dad and give Mom a break. I brought up the Viking’s voice recorder. Before I could make it up to the hospital room, I ended up in a bathroom stall taking deep breaths and texting the Viking for encouragement. I know it sounds pathetic, …

Sometimes the Shit Hits the Fan
So, the shit is hitting the fan in my life, again. I wasn’t going to write about it, but like all of my best ideas, I told Tina and she pointed out to me that I was right and stupid for not doing it before. I hate that it feels like I only blog when …

Blessing
Today, I’m taking a deep breath and counting my blessing. The past two years of my life have been difficult. The past year has been extremely so.

Hate and Bigorty are Not the American Way.
So, I’m going to say somethings that will piss people off, but my give a shit is broken. Be a bigot if you want. That is absolutely your choice. Stop telling people it is because you are a patriot or a good Christian. You are being neither. We believe in freedom of religion in this …

Mexican Lung Chupacabras
I went on my vacation with the Viking. It was the best time of my life. I think most people would have to work hard to have a bad time with the same vacation I had. The hotel in New Orleans was wonderful, and the cruise was gorgeous. I think what made it the best …
