Ever feel like you’re alone in the world and nobody else could possibly understand what you’re going through, or what you are feeling? Of course, I think most of know this is never true, but it sometimes feels like it. I have discovered that there are just some things people don’t talk about. Perhaps some […]

CRUNCH! That’s Gonna Hurt! Car Accident Photos!
I am a shaken up wreck today! Quite literally actually. Today is the first day of classes at the #MonstersUEvent in San Francisco. I am off to tour Pixar Studios tonight, but I didn’t get here with ease. I live about 2.5 hours from San Francisco and it was my job this morning to leave […]
Can Antidepressants Make a Person Nice?
Tonight I would like to discuss something that some people may consider taboo – antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, and can antidepressants make a person nice? I wouldn’t exactly say that I was raised with a lot of patience or tolerance for depression. I grew up in a very stable family. It is my belief that […]
Close Encounters with a Dental Dam and Tons of Anesthetic – Eeek
My experience with a dental dam and tons of anesthetic. A very numb face and a bruised cheek, just for starters. I feel badly for dentists because I doubt there are many people who actually get excited at the thought of visiting them. Going in for a teeth cleaning isn’t so bad, but my TMJ […]

Going Home: A Flag Covered Casket and Bagpipes at a Funeral for Grandpa
A post about my grandpa’s funeral is one that I have been meaning to write for a while, but the time just never seemed right. In my post, “A Death On Christmas“, I shared my experience of holding my grandpa’s hand as he took his last breaths on this earth. Sending a loved ones to […]
Confessions of a Compulsive Eating Food Addict
You’ve just finished your last bite of lunch and you know you are safe for at least a couple more hours. Safe from what, you might ask? The tormenting thoughts of your next fix. What it will be, when it will be, and where it will be. For the non food addict these questions may […]
A Call From The Vice Principal
A Call from the Vice Principal Yesterday I received a call that I have been dreading for a few months now. I was at my mom’s house when I got a call on my cell phone from the Vice Principal of my kids’ school. I realize that in order to dread a call you must […]
A Death On Christmas
A Death On Christmas It feels like Christmas happened so long ago, and I almost wish that I could have a Christmas week redo. It’s been a very busy week, and I feel as though I’ve hardly spent any time with my kids. With that being said, I can say with surety that my grandpa […]
Sharing Heartache Over the Tragic Shootings in Connecticut
I had posts I wanted to write today, and recipes to share, but I can’t seem to concentrate. It seems that many of you are having some of the same issues, so I thought I would go ahead and write a blog post about the tragic shootings in Connecticut. If nothing else, then maybe this […]
