An Open-Letter Rant Regarding the Arbitrivial Nature of Human Beings.
WTF is Desire versus Satisfaction? Desire: a sense of longing for a person or object; hoping for an outcome. Satisfaction: contentment; the acknowledgement of reaching capacity. Do you struggle with the conflicting ideals of “Desire versus Satisfaction”? I highly recommend engaging in an activity that makes you look really stupid. For me, that activity is […]
Table of Contents: #1: AtoZ #2: ROW80 #3: Happiness Project #4: Movies #5: Books What’s Up Wenzday #1: AtoZ Challenge — C is for Challenges I am participating in the April A to Z Blogging Challenge. Which is fitting, because Challenges are one of the reasons I blog. Obviously, it didn’t start out that […]
How do I feel when boys cry? It depends on who is doing the crying. When my hubz cries — which is few and far between, because he is definitely NOT a crier — my heart breaks, because I know something horrendously hurtful has occurred. In the more-than-five years we’ve been together, he has only […]
April 1 – This day in history: 1392 – earliest recorded association between April 1 and foolishness: an ambiguous reference in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Let the pranking commence. I’ll take a large order of “You’re an idiot!” with a small cup of “I can’t believe you fell for that!” Hold the aggravation. 1663 – Gemert fines unwed motherhood […]

Stevie Nicks’ lyrics are poetry, and the […]
August AtoZ: Blogging from A to Z recap Oh, the things I have learned this past month! It’s been a period of huge enlightenment. I have figured out some things that are small beans in the grand scheme of things, and other things that are monumental. And some that are both, depending on perspective. 1. […]
August AtoZ: Zero Tolerance Policies I have zero patience for Zero Tolerance Policies. They are the absolute bane of my existence. Lemme tell you why: ONE — Zero Tolerance Policies are lazy. When Zero Tolerance Policies are in place, there is no need for further thought on the issues they cover. Whether or not the […]
August AtoZ: You’re a Liar!: When a step-parent crosses the line “You’re a liar!” These are the words which stung my ears last week when my daughter came back from her dad’s. My first response? “Um, excuse me, ma’am?” The idea that anyone, much less my own seven-year-old child, would accuse me of such low-handed, […]
August AtoZ: Xenophobia: People are just people I grew up on a small U.S. Air Force base located over in Southern Italy — the top of the heel of the boot, for those who are curious. On that small base, I attended a tiny school composed of grades 7-12, and there were no more than […]
