Can we call a duck a duck or do we need to see what his wife is wearing first?
Over the weekend I came across this image of Ben Carson and his wife.The caption read “She’s no first lady” and had a side by side comparison of our POTUS and the stunning Michelle Obama. I think our first lady is wonderful. Well spoken, educated, full of heart and… gorgeous. Good for her! Here’s the…
Game Changers: Joanne (maiden name Lynch)
I was having a rough morning. I was impatient with my kids and sour toward my husband for no other reason than I’ve got a stupid sinus infection and I’m a bit dragged down. I got into my car and the fuel gage read “0 miles fuel remaining”. Damn it! The Rock Star left me…
C is for Communicate
I’m a communicator. Plain and simple, it’s both a gift and a curse. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. Do I ever say the wrong thing? Of course, but I didn’t say it behind your back and I wasn’t passive aggressive in my delivery. Nothing is left in question! This…

Be like that broad in Frozen and… Let it gooooo!
I swear, I thought MY friends were friends for life! My mom told me when I was young that I would lose friends. That it wouldn’t be some dramatic break up, it would just happen. “Sometimes people just grow apart, Jenny.” She was right. It’s just that way with some friends. You lose touch, find…
Boob Tube Murder and the Addition of Time
I made a commitment to myself to keep my blog updated. My initial commitment was to make 30 posts in 30 days. Then, I decided that I would commit to maintaining my blog with “regular content”. I wasn’t sure how often “regular” would mean to me, but as of right now, I’ve added content nearly…

A Formal Appology To My Second Child, “What’s his name”.
I’m sorry child number two! You don’t know it, but you’ve totally gotten the shaft! Your older brother was an only child for five years, he got so much one on one time and SO much attention! You… well, you are getting hand me downs and after thoughts. I helicopter parented your brother. I hovered…
Meninism isn’t “a thing”. Hashtag that.
I’ve been seeing a lot of memes rolling around out there that are hash tagged #meninism. They usually involve women acting stupid or obscene with an incapacitated man. I do not condone any behavior that is meant specifically to humiliate or degrade anyone…. But meninism? C’mon guys what is that about? Are you feeling a…
I am raising two Mama’s Boys… and proud of it!
What comes to mind when you hear the term “mama’s boy”? Is it a sissy still clinging to an apron string? Maybe it conjures up an image of a crybaby on the ball field? Well, I’m raising two mama’s boys and I’d like to explain why that’s a GOOD thing. For starters, who better to…
From Rock n’ Roll to Rock Bottom: A Story of “ya’ never know”
I have friends from all walks of life… Including… duh duh duuuuuhhhh CONSERVATIVES. If you’re at all familiar with my point of view, you’ve probably noticed that I’m not. That’s not to say that I’m purely left, bleeding heart, liberal either. I lean a bit to the right on a number of issues. Publicly poor…
