What I Believe Years ago (back in the days of Experience Project) several of my friends posted their personal "statements of belief." I have never forgotten how powerful it was to read those. I never wrote one for myself, I wasn't ready. Ten years later, I feel...See More »
I might join a women's barbershop choir A friend recommended that I check out Sweet Adeline's women's choir. They have rehearsals every Tuesday. It's a small group, but it looks like they have a lot of fun. I might not join, the first session is just to see how you like it. But I'm kind of...See More »
This terrifying image keeps popping up on my SW ads This wonderful M3gan doll can be yours for the low, low price of just $1200.
My Spotify top picks for 2023 were weird this year I used to listen to a lot of Metallica in high school, but I stopped after the Black album. This year I decided to catch up on the albums they've released since I fell off. To my surprise, I'm kind of into it. The new album was the catalyst. But...See More »
A Little Thirst Trap I confess that I can watch any of her videos on loop multiple times without it ever getting old. If you don't instantly understand, I can't explain it to you.
Some times when I'm having a bad day (like today), this is the most inspirational quote I can read What weird quotes inspire you?
Do you like John Mayer? I like her version a lot. I spend some time today trying to learn the song myself. Not that hard, but it will take a bit more practice since they are not chord shapes my fingers are used to playing. Also my fingers are sore now.
Is it wrong to call women "Sweetheart" on the phone?I work as a telephone agent. My last caller insisted on calling me "sweetheart" during the call. He was an older gentleman. I get this from time to time, especially from older men in the American South. When guys talk like that, I feel a mix of...See More »
Do You Believe in Ghosts?I just bought a new house. My friend asked, "What if you only got a good deal on it because it is haunted?" I said, "Then I will make a new friend."
This is what AI thinks I look like... Yuck! I promise you, my nose does NOT look like that. But it thinks I have better hair than I do. Look at those curls at the end! It's cute. I should start doing that. The AI I used is called DALL-E-2. There used to be a wait list, but I created a...See More »
When is Your Busy Season at Work?I work in Medicare. October 1 means we can start talking about next year's plans. October 15 we can start writing applications. That means 9 weeks of mostly 12-hour days. It's like tax season for a tax preparer. Do you have a busy season in your...See More »
I Don't Cancel People Do you remember in 2019 when Ellen DeGeneres sat next to Former President Bush at a football game? Some people got sooo crabby about it. That story became a catalyst for me to decide my own principles about how I relate to people I have strong...See More »
What Exercise Program are you Doing for the Fall?I somehow ended up on Jump-Rope TikTok. So I picked up a new beaded jump-rope over the weekend. The woman I watch does an hour day. My first day = four minutes. Why is this so much harder as an adult than when I was a kid? #WorkoutGoals
Are you on a diet?I just started my new diet today. Time to start logging meals again. I got a little too lax this summer.
So the Shein web ad showed me this pic... I hate how well they know me. Do I need to buy that Goth lace trip top? If I do, my body will automatically become thin like her's, right? Isn't that how it works? 😂
A Comprehensive Explanation of Race in America in only 17 Minutes If you ever watched Veggie Tales back in the days, this is the voice of Bob the Tomato. He is a conservative Christian. This is the best presentations about race that is aimed at a white audience that I've ever seen. I'm thinking about this again...See More »
I Lost My GlassesI went kayaking yesterday, swapped my glasses with my prescription sunglasses. I put my glasses in the glasses case. It was later in the evening, so I think I was originally going to take them out on the kayak with me for once I no longer needed my...See More »
You Don't Owe Me a Response Some people have created a toxic culture around Private Messaging. PMs are an asynchronous medium. If I message you, and you don't respond right away, that's okay. You can get to it when you get to it. Likewise, if you message me, I might have SW up...See More »
Life is good Lots of things in life feel really difficult right now. But you know what's not difficult? I bought two kayaks on Sunday. I finally got to use them last night. I took my 12-year-old out, and she and I had a blast. Best purchase ever. I forgot to...See More »
I Have Such Crazy Mad Respect for this Girl This is exactly the kind of thing I would do. Rock on, Taylor!
