I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar!

Being a woman is hard. I know that all other women are aware of this in one way or another but I think it is hard for men to understand. There are so many stereotypes and biases against women that have existed for far too long. I battled against this with my father who had […]

The Apocalypse makes good t.v.!

I had two blogs written and ready to go but after watching American Horror Story: Apocalypse last night, I feel inspired to write about one of my favorite shows on television! As far as I am concerned some of the best television on in recent times belongs to HBO and FX. The team of Brad […]

My brush with true crime…

If you are from Fort Worth you know that although Fort Worth is pretty large, it really is a small town where everyone is connected and if you don’t know someone, you likely know someone they know and on and on. Growing up here that can be a good thing or a bad thing depending […]

The Green Vegetable Situation-

I am very stubborn and those of you who know me well would have to agree. My husband complains about it regularly and when I get my mind set on something, it is hard to deter me. This happens more in my everyday life than when I am at work. I make a conscious effort to be flexible […]

(about the blog) Mom: I thought you did a great job and I have been thinking about my response. Is it appropriate for your mom to respond?? Me: Absolutely! Please do! I […]

Nyctophilia-

Nyctophilia – love of darkness or night. I come alive in the nighttime! This has caused untold issues for me, the main one being that getting up in the morning for me is pure torture. My ideal schedule would have me getting up around noon and going to bed at 3 or 4 in the […]

Taking a leap into the unknown-

I have always been a reader. When I was little I would carry my books around with me like they were babies and to me, they were. Each book has a story in it that you can escape to. It was a window into a new world, one that was very different from reality at […]
