Well, since I’m writing this on June 29, 2023, I don’t have a lot to say about last Christmas. What I WILL say, is that I brought a light lavender into my scheme–through pillows, wrappings and faux stems which I tucked into my tree–and I absolutely loved it. At this point, I plan to use …
Which relationship do you think is more important–the marital relationship or the relationship among/between siblings? Okay, yes. You’re right. I just got done watching episode 11 of season 6 of This Is Us. Yeah, I’m a little late to the party. ( If you know me, you know I’m literally always late to the party.). …

I remember every boy I’ve ever loved (liked), starting in kindergarten: Justin Bigger mexican kid from school (i don’t remember his name.) Mark Wilkins Steven Perkowski Jess Warren …

After all, it seems like every year, right before Christmas–like on the 22nd or 23rd–I finally find the magic I’ve been looking for. This year, it happened like this: Ever since like 2014 (when we …
December 4, 2017 Dear Family and Friends, I’m sitting at my computer with Christmas music playing softly as I write. My Christmas playlist has been playing all evening. It was playing just now as I had a screaming match with Danin and then dragged her to her room, literally. I’m 39 years old now, …
