I’ve made dumb mistakes. Like the time I accidentally brushed my teeth with sunscreen. Or the time I squirted the eye drops in my nose, rather than the saline nasal spray. What dumb things have you done?
Stretch! said the Balloon Lady
and rise to Life! I’m just an unconventional 50+ gal who insists on living a life I love. Pick a lane? No way!
Girls play with hair.
Throwback Thursday: One of my most favorite pics ever. This was taken when I was doing cultural anthropological fieldwork in Central America. Specifically, here I did some work in Belize, in a Garifuna village called Seine Bight. Each day when I’d arrive the girls would surround me with smiles and want to play with my […]
Do you deliver?
In my area, I know a bunch of pizza places that deliver. There are some Chinese restaurants that deliver, as well as a couple popular burger franchises. And now with Door Dash, Grub Hub and a few other restaurant delivery apps I can order form nearly any restaurant. But what about that sweet tooth? When […]
Sisters
Scream. White rage. Pull hair in a flash. Kiss teary cheeks.
What would you do?

For example, there are favorite photos, scenes from movies, […]
Really?!
In the Studio, I go to get something at the kitchen sink and found dear husband had left this. Really?! The garbage wasn’t far. Actually, see the sink? The can is underneath it. Anyone else ever deal with similar shenanigans? Ugh.
One of these kids is not like the other
Throwback Thursday to that time I was about to begin a school program. There’s always one.
