Today’s entry is going to be short and sweet but not without meaning. Here goes.  I worked a double to help a friend in need. They’ve been there for me a lot over the years, and I wouldn’t have gotten my sweet scruff boy without them. I don’t say what I did for recognition or…

Today’s entry is going to be a little bit different. I actually wrote this piece essentially in another life, but I’ve never been brave enough to publish it. TwentyMineTeen is all about me reclaiming my life and my year, so I thought now was a good time to share it. This one is kind of…

I talk a lot about my pup. I also share a lot of photos of Pudge on social media and in every social situation. However, I don’t talk about the little dude saving me every single day as much as I should, and I can’t think of a better time than TwentyMineTeen.  For those who…

Last night, I started a blog post talking about all of the difficulties of 2018 and how I wished 2019 was going to be better. I could bore you by splicing together that blog post, or I could tell you what genuinely happened last night. Since I’ve never lied here, I’m going to be honest:…

A couple of months ago, I verbally said I was starting a new project on Halloween because it is my favorite holiday (aside from my birthday), but life has a funny way of intervening (making things terrible) to shift things to when they’re supposed to happen, so here we are. Drumroll please.  My new project…

I have been in a total rut lately. I haven’t been able to get my footing with the holidays and a new job and having long hair for the first time in six years. Things are wild around these parts, but for the first time tonight, I got to sit down with some Indian takeout…

As some of you know, I started a new job this past weekend. This sentences always evokes the same question: Why did you leave? Truth be told, I loved my job, and I mean that. I learned a lot, I worked with some absolutely incredible people, and my boss was the best; quite frankly, this…

There will always be one person in your life you can’t shake. They’re the person who simultaneously puts a smile on your face while plunging a knife in your chest. Even though they destroy you time and time again, you’ll always go running to them the second they call out for you, the handle of…

I was trying to think of a clever opener for this post. I wanted it to be witty and smart, but everything felt contrived, so I decided to jump right in. Care for a dip? To utter the understatement of the century, this year has been hard. Don’t get me wrong; there have been some…

I’ve been 26 for 11 days, and let me tell you, my birthday week was a tease. I met Tonya Harding. I sang a crowd-pleasing rendition of “You Oughta Know.” I ate fudge, courtesy of my favorite Joyalty couple. It was wild. However, that was when I was young, naive, and barely 26. Now that…
