my musings on growing up, mental health, cats, craftbeer, adulting, personal health, and wanting to be become a mother all while laughing at myself
Sunday morning is kind of a time when I feel like I should be at church, but I don't attend church. I am a member of a Quaker meeting in Orange County, California. The funniest thing to me being a Quaker is that at a Quaker meeting everyone sits in silence and waits to be …

DIY Haircuts have always been a thing for me. The earliest memory I have of giving myself a haircut is when I was about 5 years old, and I was at my best friend's house in Bishopville, MD. My mom has repeatedly been saying that I really needed a haircut, and so I thought Why not …
I don't have anything funny to say about this. I am not in a joking mood, so I don't think you should read this if you don't want to read something sad. Today we lost another baby. It was a fur baby this time, but the loss hurts just as much if not more than …

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 …

Recently the Death, Sex, and Money Podcast did a 2 episode feature on student loans. I have about $70k worth of student loan debt, and my current partner has a similar amount. I managed to graduate from a private liberal arts college as an undergraduate with about $15k in student debt. I saved money by …

When I was a little girl, I walked up to a middle aged lady while in a Rite Aid and asked her why she had a beard. Because the Universe has somehow decided that I am important enough to care about spiting me for this behavior, I was blessed with a mustache that is actually …
