Listen Up 20 Year Old Me

I am now 40 years old and I’d like to go back and say a few things to 20 year old me. Things like, really?  Still trying to make shoulder pads work to your advantage?  Those huge hair bows in your hair that you think are cute?  They’re really not, but I like your spunk,... Read more »

10 Reasons Why Old People are Awesome

I LOVE OLD PEOPLE.  Here’s why: I get to talk really loudly around them and they don’t give a rip.  In fact, they kind of enjoy not having to strain to hear me.  I am a loud talker anyway and this benefits both of us. Old people have lived through the shit, man.  They have... Read more »

That is the Dumbest Thing I've Seen All Day

Sometimes I think I might just be too stupid to live.  But there I go “thinking” again.  I am a bright woman.  I have had experiences and boy, have I learned from them.  I went to college.  I even GRADUATED college.  With a theatre degree, but still.  I graduated.  Not that school means you’re smart,...

I am No Wonder Woman
