Ladies, beware.   The dreaded "man cold" is making its rounds.  It crept in and took a hold of Brian during our weekend festivities.  Oh sure, it disguises itself well.  Subtle sniffles blended with a slight cough.   You think this will pass, but then the whining...

"Is there a sleeper sofa?"  I inquired after realizing that the reservation I made for the weekend was a room with a king bed not two double beds.  "Um, no."  Well, that was an interesting development.    Our presence in Bowling Green was two fold.  Bailey was...

The weekend can only be described as, well, maybe there isn't a word for it. There were so many emotions that were experienced, so I will just zero in on the those that made the most impact. Several months ago, a friend of mine was put on the kidney donor list. We are...

There are so many areas of my life where I feel censored.  Walking on eggshells as not to disrupt the flow.   For example, using profanity in my blog has Facebook suggesting I change the wording in order to boost my post.  Boosting allows me to reach a larger audience...

My Saturday was laid out as a day where being a slug was highly recommended.  The revolving door had Bryce coming home for a blip on Friday night and returning yesterday morning.  Brian had a commitment and Bailey was otherwise occupied doing whatever he does which...

I am a nice person.  No...really, I am.  I know that sometimes I come off like a bitchy, menopausal woman with an aversion to other people.  The exception, of course, are those who are in my tribe.  I lean towards being a pleasant human up until other homo sapiens...

I shared yesterday that I was going off on an adventure where I would be visiting the land of nonsense aka the social security office. Arriving early, I gathered my things that included the ambiguous letter, a list of questions, and a flask. Kidding on the flask, but...
