Question for you Darling Ones, Is the “I was into them before they were cool” or “I saw them at this bar with six other people, nobody showed” an asshole trait specific to GenX or are other generations afflicted with this disease? I ask because I saw some people of my generation complaining about the youth discovering Fleetwood Mac (like is that a bad thing?) and I was wondering do Millenials do this? GenZers? Or do they use a different…
Hey Darling Ones, I played the alto saxophone from sixth grade all the way up through my sophomore year of high school. I chose the alto sax because Jennie Baker said it was cool and I was told I was too big to play the flute. While I didn’t have tons of passion for the sax, I was okayish at it. The only reason I quit my junior year was that I found my passion and it was the student…
Well, well, well, Darling Ones, Guess what? It looks like I have stumbled upon the cure of insomnia. Aside: Yes, I know you don’t care about my sleep habits, but I’m like that friend with an infant who tells you all about their sleep habits and the baby’s sleep habits and even though you don’t care you still listen because that’s what friends do.

Hi Darling Ones, Today I have decided to be obsessed with my wilting lavender plant. She’s the latest addition to the Sadness Garden and she is not doing well.

It’s doesn’t…
Hi Darling Ones, Today is my nephew Maxwell’s 22nd birthday. Do you remember when I interviewed him for this here blog back when he was four? Some of you might. It’s weird to read it, because the kid still loves all the animals and his dream job is still to work at the Minnesota Zoo. To celebrate his birthday I made a Mexican feast. There were two kinds of enchiladas, fajitas, Spanish rice, esquites, chips, and salsa. I did not…
Hey Darling Ones, I thought about skipping today because I’m so damn tired. Insomnia is kicking my ass and last night was the worst so far. I was doing laundry at 2:30 a.m. because sleep wasn’t near happening and I didn’t know what else to do. So I might not be sleeping but at least all my laundry is done. Tonight I discovered “Pump Up the Volume” is on Amazon Prime and as a GenX woman I, of course, adore…
