Buckle up, Darling Ones, Or maybe ducking is in order? I’m in the midst of weathering a perfect storm of responsible humaning and I’m very cranky about. I usually try to the spread out the bullshit tasks that come with being an adult grown up who wants to function on some level. For instance, I never empty the dishwasher the same day I must fold laundry. Because I excel at procrastination and I’m not above squalor this rarely happens, where…
Art for the Sad, Angry & Horny
Hi Darling Ones, I cannot wait any longer. We have to talk about the flagship in the room.* My plan was to wait until I had an actual physical copy of Amanda Shires’ new record Take it Like a Man (TILAM) in my hot little hands. There would have been an arty picture of the record with some lyrics on it for the header. I might have been past this obsessive stage of falling for a new record. Who knows?…
22 Years of Coloring Myself Impressed

For real though, my most recent resolution is to stop listing to anything thin white ladies I do not know have to say….
Back on My Bullshit, This Time With New Glasses
So, Darling Ones, it’s confession time. One of my unwritten about (I think) goals for 2022 was to get my food hoarding under control. I don’t know the scale of severity when it comes to hoarding food. All my food is contained in the kitchen. I don’t need extra racks in my garage for boxes of pasta. Hell, I don’t even have an extra refrigerator or freezer in my garage like a lot of Minnesotans. Still, I keep my house…
Four Reasons for Posting a Selfie
Sorry, Darling Ones, I’ve been super chatty thus far this week and I’m sure many people are about full up of my nattering. Good thing reading this website is optional! Today I have three reasons to come here to post a few selfies (as seen above). Reason #1: One of the Tea Ladies told me my skin looked wonderful or beautiful or radiant and that made me feel good. You couple that with the thought I had the other day…
