I really try. I fight it everyday. Every. Day. I was born with the innate gift to see a half-empty glass. In fact, if there is a FULL glass… my response is “Sure. It’s full NOW…” Some of you are surprised to hear this. “Happy Jenny”? Not my “Happy Jenny”! I make a conscious effort [...]
The Confessional: The Pudding Pie
Before I bear bair bayer bare my soul to the interwebz… I would like to applaud, worship, and hail the mighty woman who took the picture to the left. Janice of 5 Minutes for Mom. I’m not sure if I have ever shared the story about how 5 Minutes for Mom was a key site [...]
The Confessional: Phobias, Phears… I mean Fears
I am a pretty brave girl… as long as there are safety measures in place. Ya know, like — reflective vests, whistles, railing, and extra padding.

The Confessional – Insecurity, Freedom and Good Friends
I have long been afflicted with a condition called “insecurity”. I was a shy little girl. By high school I found myself in a space I was comfortable in…chubby, but comfortable… and some of the “shyness” began to melt away. If I look at the big picture of my life, I see pockets of freedom [...]

I am a classic type-a personality with a scattered-creative alter-ego who obssesses over glitter and [...]

We all have them. Certain words that creep us out or make us snort and giggle like we did back in driver’s ed and science class… back when simple words like “period” were dirty and worthy of a good “snicker”. Yet, I had no idea the bevy of words I that would forever be ruined… [...]

Re: Buying Tampons in Bulk
What? You didn’t turn the page off your interwebz? I actually have a post of substance I should mold and nurture… instead I share with you a personal struggle… Buying tampons in bulk. I don’t care how many years one has been purchasing the wide array of feminine hygiene products, it is never comfortable to [...]
Stop! Hammertime!
I saw this at a 4-way-stop yesterday evening. HAD to take a pic. HAD to share it. In other news, I’m drowning in life… and am struggling with finding time this week(s).
