You ever wake up on a Monday and just know in the pit of your stomach, the ache in your knees, the existential sigh before your first cup of coffee—that the week ahead is going to be long? Like…crawling-through-wet-cement long? That was me this week. Before I even […]
Two years ago, I thought I was just planting some hydrangeas. Maybe adding a bit of curb appeal. Fast forward to now: I am a woman possessed. Not by demons (though that would make for a good Tuesday), but by creepers! No, not the kind that lurk in […]
Well, I finally did it. I caved and watched Inventing Anna, the Netflix miniseries about the fake German heiress who scammed New York’s social elite, financial institutions, and a few unfortunate souls trying to pay their rent. It’s one of those shows I sidestepped for years, like a […]
Every household has its own mythology. In mine, the living room has been invaded by a towering, tail-wagging creature I affectionately call “Godzilla.” Weighing in at 70 pounds of pure joy and oblivious chaos, my big dog believes, without a shadow of a doubt, that he is a […]

I recently stumbled across a quote I had scribbled down at some point in my life, buried in a note, between grocery lists and half-baked blog titles: “A narrow mind and a fat head invariably come on the same person.”— Zig Ziglar Wait, what? I blinked. Then blinked […]
Apparently, in Norway, not only are the fjords majestic, but the citizens also possess superpowers like the ability to sleep through a 500-foot container ship crash-landing on their front lawn. Yes, Johan Helberg of Byneset woke up not because of the world’s loudest alarm clock, but because a […]
Ah, May. The month of tulips, Taurus birthdays, and apparently, baboons with boundary issues. As I sip my antihistamine-laced tea and contemplate the existential dread of summer speeding toward us, I can’t help but marvel at the bizarre happenings around the globe. Let’s dive into some of madness. […]
Some people consult vision boards. Others call mentors. Me? I pitch my ideas to the dogs. It’s a sacred ritual. I pace the room, rambling some grand scheme or mildly delusional plan, and there they are—my panel of furry consultants. Middle dog, the unbothered philosopher, barely lifts his […]
