So my guy lives in Cotswold, which is where I would live as well if I wind up moving down. I’ve found the same thing to be true about CLT proper, the ‘burbs I’ve spent time in are not so country, but definitely a bit racist. I’m dreading having to drive all over. But I’ve been looking to slow down & simplify & I feel…

I’m considering moving to CLT next year after my lease is up, I’m currently in NYC.  Any suggestions/words of advice/caution I should consider while making my decision?

This was last summer, Labor Day weekend. I was in Boston to see a 2 night run of shows by my favorite band. I was meeting a TON of new people that I’ve known online through various groups related to the band. As fans, we’re known for our charitable works and outright douchiness. The events I was attending that weekend…

I haven’t read this yet, but I just adopted a bonded pair & I can tell you already Cat did it b/c cat.  These cats are super sweet & have been home alone one damn day, wreckage...cats are assholes.

So I just left my husband & we lived in NJ.  I work in NYC, so decided to get an apartment here to make my commute easier. I am so fuckin proud to live in NYC how & have people like her in Congress. I didn’t get to vote for her, but dammit I woulda! 

I’ve cut back so much!  I used to have to smoke myself into oblivion every night b/c the ex liked to go to bed at like 9p. The ONLY way I could fall asleep that early was to be super stoned.  Now I’m in bed around 9 (only because I don’t have living room furniture yet) but not even THINKING about sleep! Smoking a bowl…

So the bed thing....I realized that the other night too & it made me cry. I can do whatever the fuck I wanna whenever the fuck I wanna. It’s so surreal. Thank you for your kind words & support!

I did! Thank you so much!! 

So I’ve posted before on SNS recently that I was preparing to leave my husband. Well tonight’s night 3 in my apartment. The very first time I’ve ever lived alone as an adult. It’s surreal. I spent the day either on the bed smoking a bowl or unpacking & making space for my sofa delivery & assembly tomorrow.  I can’t…

I turned 40 this year in April. I decided last year that I would do whatever I wanted in 2018. A friend proposed a girl’s trip to Turks & Caicos: YES! We did a 5 day trip. Paris on my actual birthday: YES! I was supposed to go with my husband, but he backed out at the last minute. My favorite band announcing a…

It took me a long while (like years) to get up the nerve to do it. You’ll know when it’s right. I’m so scared, but it’s not the end of the world. I have a good job, friends to hold me up & a cute doggo. You have your boys & us here (or at least me!). Here’s to us and our strength!

Gods, you could be me writing this. Sending all the love I can right now as I prepare to leave my husband of 13 years. We were in Sedona, AZ last year & made a trip to the Grand Canyon. Standing on the edge, staring down, knowing this was a happy time & wouldn’t last at all. How much easier everything would be if I…

Thanks, I am too, we used to get along famously. Basically none of my family talks to me anymore b/c I told them all straight up that voting the way they did means they condone all the BS that is Trump, including condoning sexual assault & racism. Immediately after the election, I noticed I was having a hard time…

That is EXACTLY it. He’s a white dude, living in a white suburb where the ONE black family moved out years ago. He was a contractor for the base nearby & he moved when the contract ended. He doesn’t give two iotas of shit about communities of color. I live in NNJ, work in NYC. My building where I live is more diverse…

So I got blatant denial that he’s racist. Other than that I literally couldn’t have any kind of conversation without him screaming a response at me, so I ended the conversation. I’d love to know the reasoning now after there’s been time & we see that he’s such utter garbage.  Not like they’d admit they made a bad…

In October of 2016, THIS was the reason my dad told me he was voting for Trump. And I’m not talking about reasoned explanations either, I’m talking foaming at the mouth, screaming at me about how Obama didn’t do shit for Chicago or ‘the black community in general’. Yeah we don’t talk much anymore. 

Totally agree! Going to both & very excited. I’m sure this guy will have a great time & be back with more than enough time to spare. 

Did my first solo trip this year! My husband was supposed to come with me on my birthday trip to Paris & backed out last minute. I loved walking around with my iPod, seeing what I wanted when I wanted. Having my favorite music was wonderful, making memories of walking past things hearing songs...just really special…

I love you for your Splash reference!!

Sara Gilbert can fuck right on off. She took the job knowing exactly what kind of person Barr is, her taking that job & staying silent until now is total complicity. Her tweet yesterday was just such utter bullshit. I liked her till I found out she had signed on for the reboot. I need people who say they’re activists…
