reading time: 3 minutes thoughts My morning yoga/stretching sesh sounded like the soundtrack for a Rice Krispies ad today. I was popping in places I don’t think I should be. I always begin with a lot of lower back work, an area that is the source of much of my rather hellish, constant and […]
reading time: 4 minutes scattered thoughts After the debacle of the previous night’s sleep (see here), I’d hope to have an extended period of restfulness. I was only semi successful.

reading time: 2 minutes the shenanigans Yesterday was Man Child #3’s 22nd birthday, and we celebrated by going to get tattoos together. Sometimes I get tattoo envy when I see people with cohesive sleeves of beautiful ink. I have twelve, as of yesterday, and there is absolutely no cohesiveness. But with a single exception, […]

reading time: 2 minutes Saturday 9: Gloria (1982) Unfamiliar with this week’s tune? See the video and watch it below! 1) In this song, Laura Branigan is advising her friend to take it a bit slower in her pursuit of a particular man. Did you more recently give or receive advice? Give. My kid […]
reading time: 2 minutes the observations Yesterday, I was called bougie for drinking my iced tea out of a vintage goblet, a teal one much like the ones below from ShopPennVintage on Etsy. And I don’t think it was meant as a compliment. In truth, it was less about feeling bougie, although I see […]
