Randomness on a Sunday Morning

I have enjoyed seeing pics of my friends and their travels. I have identified some places I would like to visit in the future! As much as I am interested in your pics, I’m probably only going to look at 12 of the many pics you post. Try as I might, after the 13th orContinue reading “Randomness on a Sunday Morning”

Thoughts on Graduation

Disclaimer: I don’t have kids, and my opinion on this topic might likely upset you. It is your prerogative to continue to read. This is my opinion. Now that prom season is over, I’ve come to some realizations. For one, things are a LOT different than in my day in terms of what is consideredContinue reading “Thoughts on Graduation”

Happy Mother’s Day…if it applies

You might know that I am also known as Dottie and DiDi’s Mommy, who are my two adorable miniature schnauzers who sometimes get dragged into my shenanigans. They are my babies.  Over the years I’ve been told that I should have had children for a variety of reasons, and while I know that they haveContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day…if it applies”

Prom Tips for Young Men

A friend posted that she was selling her son’s prom getup from last year.

It was such a let down and I was so upset that I wrote the florist and told them that they ruined our first Valentine’s Day. Maybe that was a bitContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day”

It’s Winter Formal Time

Recently I ran into a friend who was visiting a seamstress because her daughter needed a dress for her upcoming winter formal. She said that her daughter was less than thrilled about the dress that she picked out, and although she was wearing a mask, I could tell that she wasn’t exactly excited. I alsoContinue reading “It’s Winter Formal Time”

Here’s to More “Happy” Days

I can count on one hand the times that I have hosted my family on a holiday. Mainly because I don’t enjoy cooking holiday food (or much more than breakfast food if I’m totally honest). It’s also because once when I hosted, I felt tension in my home amongst a few of my guests, andContinue reading “Here’s to More “Happy” Days”
