Dreams (not the song by Fleetwood Mac)
Now here I go again… I never ever ever ever ever remember my dreams. Ever. Until this past week. I’ve not only remembered, but also upon waking, still physically felt, my dreams. I haven’t changed my sleep hours or length or anything. I’m still, give or take, falling asleep around the same time. I’m occasionally…

The Girl with the Potato Necklace
I’m a very physical, visual person. I think that’s part of why I like tattoos (I’ve got 12 so far) and tarot cards (I’ve legit lost count of the number of decks I own). Having interesting images tell stories. Being able to touch something. I live in my head way too much sometimes and I…

Armageddon via Llama (or, finding contentment where you least expect it)
So, a movie exists called Llamageddon. Really. It’s real. It’s available for streaming on Prime right now. Yep. And it’s… something. I don’t even know if I recommend it. But… I watched it the other night with my boyfriend. I love bad, B-horror movies. Killer Piñata, the one with the sofa, the zombie sheep movie……

Thanksgiving 2020
So, my family never really did the whole, go round the table and say what you’re thankful for. We’re thankful for food and family, let’s eat. My family still had that this year, but I know a lot didn’t. Travel is minimal, gatherings smaller, of happening at all and so it feels like it might…

From Complain to Compassion (or,what autocorrect is teaching me about self care)
It’s been a while. Probably too long. And I want to talk shit about myself for being a slacker, but I’m gonna refrain. I’m going to show myself some compassion. I was texting a dear friend the other day, swiping my words away and I tried to type “complain” (for context, I was generalizing my…

Memories
I’m seeing, “Tell me your favorite memory with me” making a rotation on Facebook currently. And especially right now when people are still not as able to get together in person, I think looking back and reflecting is super good. So, a buddy of mine posts it, and then replies start. And someone commented like..…

Well, what did you expect?
Expectation is such a funny thing. I have been soul level pissed at someone for not meeting my expectations before, which is wholly unfair to them, I fully realize that now. And I try not to have expectations, but I still do. I ran into this recently, actually, on Tinder. I matched with some guy,…

Independence Day Resolution
Why do we only do resolutions on New Years? I mean… I get it’s significant but, other days are too. I tend to not love going with the crowd (I know y’all are shocked to hear that) so there is something so… almost cliche about new years resolutions. Everyone going to a gym for a…

Beers and Boots and Blue Jeans, oh my! (or, why I want a life and love like a country song)
Howdy y’all. (Insert smiley face wearing a cowboy hat emoji) Sorry. Couldn’t help it. So at my most recent workplace, we listened to a lot of country. A lot. Not hating. Listen to what you want. Seriously. It’s just not my scene. While I was kinda.. outlining this post (me? organize my thoughts ahead of…

To the boy…
To the boy who made a point of telling me I’m not drop dead gorgeous… Maybe it’s because I wear glasses, but eyes like mine, that have seen some shit and still choose to see the good, are beautiful. Maybe it’s because my arms are a little flabby, but they are always open to hug,…
