my musings on growing up, mental health, cats, craftbeer, adulting, personal health, and wanting to be become a mother all while laughing at myself
I still don't have a monthly visitor to call my own. Girls complain about this thing their whole lives, so you think I'd be happy not to menstruate, BUT I'm not. All my blood work has come back positive, and the same with that lovely pap smear, and yet 4 months post miscarriage and D&C …

How am I supposed to just be these days? If I stay quiet IRL is that the same as not posting on Facebook/Instagram/Wordpress/My Blog for a week? Will you know I am okay? Will I know I am okay? If is the internet doesn't know that I am okay, am I okay? What is okay anyway? …
I live in Santa Ana. I studied Urban and Regional Planning. I am white and I would consider myself upper middle class, and lately I have been noticing a lot of changes in the neighborhood around me.

Today as I drove out to a friends baby party, I listened to the Decemberists. I don't know if I do this when I consciously when I want to think about my sister, but no matter what happens I always wind up thinking about my sister. The Decemberists make me think of my sister because …

I am posting this publicly with my friends permission to post pictures of her children. I didn't use their names, but if you know us you know them, and I mean this post with so much gratitude to the joy the kids and Roxy brought to me. This one is for you pup. Also said …
