There are two types of people in the world. Dog people and cat people. There are plenty of folks like myself, who will say they are both but we usually lean one way or the other when it comes to the actual ownership of an animal. I will always lean cat. I could get into... Continue Reading →
I’m turning forty and I have a disease.
I am turning forty in two weeks and simply cannot let the topic of my impending aging go by without a little bitching. I’ve got mixed emotions about it. Age is just a number, right? That’s the popular saying by people who are getting older and want to make themselves feel better. It’s not how... Continue Reading →
Like it or not, it’s here to stay.
You know you do it. We ALL do it. We use the word “like” in our vocabulary every single day. The traffic was like, horrible. I was like, so late for work today. I’m like, so tired. The word itself can be used as a noun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, particle, conjunction, hedge, interjection and... Continue Reading →
Sometimes People Suck, Part Two
Here we go again. Another week of travel, another week of crazies. I’m sort of starting to see why the airline people are so crabby. This time, I was headed to Florida. Now, just a disclaimer for you; I can’t stand Florida. I’m sorry if I offend any Floridians, but I’m officially throwing the whole... Continue Reading →
Happiness Is A Warm Gun.
I was delighted a few weeks ago when I discovered that The Fillmore Detroit started following me on Twitter. I’m not sure why this awesome Detroit establishment would have any interest in me. Either they assumed (and would be correct) that I am just a cool chick, or they picked random people in hopes of... Continue Reading →
Sometimes, people suck.
They say ignorance is bliss. It’s not so blissful when you observe really moronic behavior being passed down a generation to a vulnerable, impressionable child. On my short business trip to Vegas this week, I was witness to behavior that ranged from flustered panic to off the charts narcissism to complete and utter ignorant rudeness.... Continue Reading →
Come On. You KNEW there would be a cat post eventually.
We had a deal. Me and this cat. I was to adopt him and he was to be a cat. I bought him the usual swag- a litter box, over-priced food, treats, mouse toys, a plush bed, catnip and a scratching post. He was perfect in the car, not a meow or cry at all.... Continue Reading →
Social Addictions and Why It’s Working (When I should be working.)
I have become a Twitter addict. I love to follow the inane thoughts of celebrities and the pictures of their ridiculous, over-the-top parties. But, the other reason I am becoming a die-hard fan is because of the networking and writing ideas that can come from it. There are writers and comedians to follow who you... Continue Reading →
I have blockage.
Things are getting ugly and it’s sort of a mess. I have awful writer’s block. And when I say block, it’s a complete brick wall in my face. I cannot seem to take Hemingway’s advice of writing one true sentence. Or, I get the sentence and can’t follow it up with anything behind it. I’ve... Continue Reading →
On any given White Trash Sunday…
...You might find me parked on the couch with a bag of Cheetos and a glass of Chardonnay watching the crazy bitches of Mob Wives smack each other around. You might see my un-showered, flannel pajama’d ass curled up under a blanket browsing for hours on Pinterest and the New York Post. It’s not a... Continue Reading →
