RSVP!

Today, I turned to a coworker and asked: “Should I, or should I not, write a blog about the fact that I don’t think that too many people would go to my funeral?” She about died laughing (pun DEFINITELY intended), probably because I said it out of nowhere, but most likely because she had the sameContinue reading “RSVP!”

Forever Young

Recently, there have been a lot of revelations that remind me that I am no spring chick anymore. It spans from activities like leering through my blinds to shake my head at the latch-key kids across the street when they make a ruckus late at night all the way to checking TVGuide.com to see if there will be aContinue reading “Forever Young”

Robbed

The past few weeks, I have been feeling really uneasy at home. I guess the reality of being at home alone, especially at night, has really become more apparent to me. It probably doesn’t help that I watch a lot of Dateline and 48 Hours Murder Mystery and constantly think about how I can leaveContinue reading “Robbed”

I’m even considering calling some of my closest friends before posting it because I fear the backlash. Here it is: I don’t really like dogs. I know. I KNOW. And I live in Austin, whereContinue reading “In the Doghouse”

Deep Eddy Doesn’t Take Cash

You want to know how I know that? Well, let me tell you a story* Turns out, weekends when as a single mom are actually really long. You would think by the number of updates your mom friends post on Facebook and Instagram that it’s non-stop go-go-go, filled with trips to the zoo, science museums, storyContinue reading “Deep Eddy Doesn’t Take Cash”

But What Does it All Mean?

Let’s just clear this up right off the bat: Here is what this blog is NOT: “Breaking News: Working Mom Starts a Blog to Document Totally Unique Point of View!” Yes, I am a working mom but I don’t really label myself as such. My point of view? It’s probably not THAT unique. I mostContinue reading “But What Does it All Mean?”
