My Little Bullet Sucker

So I just watched this movie and I have feelings about it. If you’ve seen it, I would love to hear your thoughts on it as well.

It Started Out A Good Day

So my cousin had her second baby yesterday. Technically it was yesterday since it’s after midnight. He came almost 3 weeks early. He doesn’t have a name yet so I’m calling him Lil Smoosh, and even after he gets a name I might still call him that for a while until he’s not so smooshy.

Anyway, considering the fact that he arrived early, he was a good weight (8lbs, 13oz) and didn’t look like he had…

Who here knows about projection in a psychological sense? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Okay, well, if you don’t, you can read all about it in this article. If you don’t want to click the link then I’ll break it down for you. Basically, projection is when you put your feelings on someone else and try to make it seem like theyfeel that way. It’s a defense mechanism. You’ve definitely seen it in TV…

Daughter of an Addict

So my sister Katy shared this with me today. I completely understand all of this. If anyone else is living with a parent who is an addict, you’ll understand this too. While it doesn’t change the situation I’m living with, it helps to know that it’s not just me. It’s not just you either.

So I haven’t written about this here. Truth be told, I forget about this blog unless I have something I need to vent about. Today that something is the suckfest that this week is for me. See today is my Uncle’s birthday. Sounds happy, right? Except on April 8, 2002 he died of a massive stroke. I’m in the mood to purge, loves, so if you don’t want to visit my grief buffet I completely understand.…

Domestic Abuse Is Not Okay

So I want to preface this by saying that I generally love P!nk. I love her sass and her take no shit attitude. She’s a strong woman, not just physically but in other ways. I admire her honesty and the fact that she does what she can to keep it real. She doesn’t come across as the type to make excuses. It’s been publicized and she’s been somewhat open about the fact that her marriage isn’t…

My sister is coming into town in just over a week from Germany. I’m super excited to be seeing her again so soon. After so many years of her not coming back to the US for visits, it’s nice to see her twice a year. She’s changed so much, and mostly for the better. It’s taken a lot of therapy time and uncomfortable dialogues with herself to reach the point she has. Anxiety is something I think just…

This Got Me In All the Feels

Thanks to Sophia Bush’s Instagram stories I just watched a video that depicts a young child who was separated from his parents at the border, attending an immigration hearing in Portland without legal representation or really anyone to explain to him what is going on. I would love to embed the video but that is not an option so if you would like to see it, please click here.

Now I’m not a parent,…

He slept most of the time I was there. He had his first doctor’s appointment on Tuesday. He’s doing great. He’s gaining back the weight he initially lost. Right now he’s battling a blocked right tear duct, but that’s not a big deal. A round of antibiotic salve should clear it up. It seemed to be helping yesterday. He’s just the sweetest little cuddlebug. I adored him.  I’m no professional…

Has the World Gone Mad?

I think the obvious answer to that question is YES. I haven’t posted on this blog in over nine months. It’s not because I’ve been lacking in opinions or things to say. I should start keeping a list of all the things I mean to blog about. If the app for WordPress was better I might even try blogging on the fly. So why today? What finally tipped the scales? Two things. This is a long post full of…

If you’re not interested in politics, please turn back now or you’re in for a really boring read. I want to start by saying that for all intents and purposes, that I am a liberal. Hell, you might even call me a socialist. I see nothing wrong with that. Maybe I’m a liberal with socialist tendencies? I don’t know. I’m not that deeply entrenched in politics. I have a lot to learn but I’m paying…

Hi friends! I know, I know, it’s been a long time since my last post. I’ve been super busy with work the last few months. I’ve had more than my fair share of nights in the last few months where I came home, ate dinner and promptly passed out. Poor Missy can attest to this. I’d get in a document to write with her and within minutes I was out cold. Damn comfy bed. I’m going to put the rest of this…

Going Away…

Not me, don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. But I will put the rest of this under a cut in case you don’t want to read my rambles about work stuff. I am including an episode of Rick & Morty which I seriously suggest you try out because it’s fucking hilarious. Huge thanks to work hubs for bringing this into my life. The new season starts in a few weeks and I’m jazzed about it. “It’s like the…
