In first grade, I was a math genius, at least for the first couple of months when all we had to deal with was single digit addition. I could race through a math worksheet in no time flat, reliably getting them handed back to me with smiley faces and stars. Think of it: a 6Continue reading “Math Magic”

I’m wary of spiders. Lots of respect for them but no personal love. As in: I don’t want them near my person. Today, at 4:22 am, I woke with an itchy forehead. Sleepily, I turned on the bedside light. I thought some hair had escaped my scrunchie and set out to handle it. It wasContinue reading “The Itsy Bitsy…”

Well, hello YOU! (read that again but with your best Moira Rose voice in your head, or even out loud if you’re in the mood) Today my topics are: Marsha (always a key player), My hair and… Toni Home Perms. My hair is straight. Yet in many childhood pictures (like, just so so many) youContinue reading “PERMAPALOOZA”

I think it’s important to have people in your life who possess strengths that play to your, “areas of growth”, because honestly, I need to grow in a lot of areas. Example: most of my waking hours are spent looking for things I just had a second ago. Person X is one of those peopleContinue reading “First Day Bird”

I’ve not written anything in a while for a few reasons, chief among them is I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole and have been binge watching The Great British Baking Show.

God and nature delivered on that prayer but it took aContinue reading ““You Have A Lot Of Hair””

I’m not one to prepare for holidays early (except for Christmas, my most favorite; I start prepping mid October and will Fa-La-La-La you to death) and now that it’s officially Pumpkin Spice Season, I think it’s perfectly fine to discuss Halloween in the Olden Days – not super olden, more recent olden, when I wasContinue reading “Trick or Treat Tales”

The Day Mom Lost Her Cool Alert: Before I published this, I made sure I had my mom’s permission… By all accounts, my mom is a kind and loving person, with a healthy dose of snark. I can count only a handful of times she yelled at us and this was one of those days.Continue reading “SH*T HOUSE MOUSE!”

I am most definitely a morning person. If the early bird catching the worm was a thing for humans, I’d have a heckuva lot of worms. But I wasn’t always a morning person…getting up in time to get ready for work used to be an actual miracle. I finally changed my ways but it tookContinue reading “The Day I Called In Too Mad To Work”
