I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers

It was time to get lucky. She could feel it. She knew she should head to the liquor store and get a scratcher. All signs were pointing to things turning around. The doctor said her mom would recover. Her daughter’s grades had improved markedly. Sometimes things just had […]
Deck the halls way too early Fa la la la la, la la la la. ’tis the season to be wacky Fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our shop apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the fragrant […]
She was no Charlie’s Angel. She had always wanted to be. Honestly, the clothes and hair were a bit too retro but the overall flair was cool. Being part of a collective, a female collective was something to dream about. Of course, the local gang girls had […]
I grew up in a superstitious Hispanic family that just dreaded Friday the 13th. We tended to avoid going anywhere on such a day. Then I grew up. And guess what. I still dread Friday the 13th. My beloved most awesome dog died on a Friday the 13th. […]
I was just in the shower when I was humming The Cure’s most horrific, banal song “It’s Friday I’m in love.” How did the Cure go from goth to sap? Mind boggling. Anyway, once I noticed I was humming that I tried to change my ear worm. Then […]
