Ugh. You've all seen it, right? A bunch of celebrities singing over video chat for......whatever reason, I'm not really sure? For Coronavirus, I guess? To cheer us all up? The reason I can't tell is because it was just weird, out of nowhere, and annoying. My first thought when I saw it was: "Why?"…
Do You Believe in Ghosts? Part Two: My Current Dilemma
While driving my kids to school this morning, this conversation happened: My daughter, Lily: "So all the Halloween decorations I hung in the basement yesterday are all down this morning." Me: "Ummm......all of them?" Lily: "Pretty much, yeah." Me: (a bit freaked out but trying not to act like it) "Well......that's.....weird. Maybe you didn't…
Just Call Us Bruce Wayne and Vicky Vale: Holy Bat Cave, Batman!
So, for the past few months our family has been living with a bat. We have a bat cave. We used to call it the "attic above the garage", but now it's a bat's apartment. And I don't like it. The whole saga began several months ago, in the early Fall. I woke up…
The Devil’s Comforter

My Love/Hate Relationship With Valentine’s Day
It's February. It's cold, it's dreary, and despite being the shortest month of the year, it feels like the longest.

The Coat Closet “Situation”
Ugh, I hate winter. I'm one of those people who apparently suffer from that seasonal disorder where lack of sunshine makes you pissy. The long (mostly) frigid days and cabin fever are starting to get to me; my emotional state varies from "Are you still alive?" lethargy to "DAMN GIRL, settle down!" Which is probably…
Top 10 Most Questionable Christmas Lessons From My Favorite Holiday Films
Well, it's Christmastime. Again. The most wonderful time of the year- or so that one holiday tune claims (the guy that wrote that song obviously never had to go to a Walmart in December if he truly believed that, but whatever). People love Christmas for various reasons that I won't get into (I don't your…
The Strange Tradition That Is Thanksgiving
Ah, Thanksgiving. The proud American holiday dedicated to giving thanks, spending time with family and loved ones, and, of course, cooking a gigantic dinner in honor of the first big harvest meal shared between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. A holiday dedicated to remembering our history and giving thanks. What could I possibly find…
“Sexy Pennywise” and Other WTF Halloween Costumes
Damn, do I love Halloween! The pumpkins, the candy, the decorations it's all just good fun. But my favorite part are the Halloween costumes dressing up as someone or something else for a night is awesome. I used to be an actor so being a character for a night is my jam, it's just in…
My Foray Into Self Torture: Skiing
Oh, bloody hell. It's barely even Fall, the leaves haven't even changed and began to drift from the trees yet, and already it has happened: the dreaded "Let's take a ski trip this Winter!" conversation. This suggestion, said excitedly by a friend just recently, makes my blood run cold. Skiing. Or as I like to…
