10 New-Mom Tips You Should Follow but Probably Won’t

I received countless personal tips on pregnancy and helpful insight on co-existing with a newborn. Being the genius that I am, I absorbed all that great information and proceeded to not listen to one damn tip anyone offered. Which was a direct result of ignorance and conflicting advice coupled with the sheer volume of information being offered. It’s murky waters for us newly-minted Moms and trying to separate solid advice from out-dated wives tales, is … Read entire article »

Calling out Forrest

December 5th, 2010 | Add a Comment

You know… out of left field recently, I had a sudden urge to reach out and smack the fictional character Forrest Gump. For one single, solid reason alone.. the comment about life being like a box of chocolates. I have no idea why the saying annoyed me this time around.. I mean, geeze… it’s a common, pop culture reference now and days, easily flowing off the tongue like any 2 bit blond joke. This time, however… when the saying crept it’s way into my noggin, I actually paused a moment to reflect on it, and low and behold, some previously unaware annoyance simmered in me… leading me to shout (silently.. which is an psuedo oxy-moron, I know, just roll with it) what the hell.. life is nothing like a … Read entire article »

The Waves

June 19th, 2009 | 2 Comments

It’s hard to truly express things, when you feel like what you want to say is heavy, intense and unrelenting. It also changes every second. I fight the thoughts of my Mom and my family situation, but it’s always there, lingering. I’m not feeling very confident about the recovery process, and not feeling confident actually makes me feel like I’m betraying my mom in some way. Like I should be blindly walking through this process, totally ignoring my intuition and the signs my Mom let’s slip. I feel like by not feeling hope and faith to the story that’s unfolding, that I’m adding a level of negativity to an already black filled void. At the same time, I’m a realist and I’m way to tuned in to my Mom, to … Read entire article »

Fer Fuck’s Sake

March 13th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Right now… I dream of a day when I’m not totally and physically stressed about money. I know.. big boo hoo to me, right. I get it, the world’s in an economic crises.. I know, I’ve been in the line of fire because of it. It’s just that currently, everytime I fucking turn around there’s something else needing/ taking money from me before the money’s even hit my account. I’m sick of it. It’s hard to even remember that it wasn’t always like this. It’s been nothing but a struggle since I moved and it’s seemed to hit it’s peak right now. I know it won’t always be like this, I get it.. but just for the moment, let me fucking say to the world… YES.. I AM Stressed. People … Read entire article »

The truth.. you can’t handle the truth

February 18th, 2009 | 2 Comments

ha… great quote. Anyway… alot’s been on my mind lately. So this here might be the tangent to end all tangents. Which is saying alot considering I’m the rambling queen. Anyway… so today I’m 8 weeks and 3 days along. Which is actually really exciting for me. Lately I’ve been so focused on other things that I kinda forget about what’s happening with me as a person…. today I was reminded of it, when I had a crazed surge of hormones that rendered me totally irrational and lacking in self-confidence. Thankfully, I’m blessed with amazing girlfriends, who have all gone through this before.. so they walked me through it. The lack of self-confidence was a bitch of a moment for me, since normally.. I believe I’m pretty cool, somedays I look … Read entire article »

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday…

So… after all that procrastination, I didn’t have to work at the club last night. Money wise… I’m bummed but overall… I feel pretty lighthearted about it. It just wasn’t really right for me. Plus, I walked into chaos…. the two guys that I normally worked with- well, one wasn’t even scheduled, and the other was stuck upstairs in the room that basically does zero business until summer (rumor has it) and truthfully, part of why I’d stuck it out was because of these two guys… they made it fun, and worthwhile to go in. Plus, we’d all worked in the same room together for awhile now, and had a basic rhythm down… which is necessary for that bar since the way it was designed was more for visual … Read entire article »
