Words I Made Up (feat. shoxigen)
Being a creative type, sometimes almost to a fault, I tend to like to make stuff up. Whether that be a new craft, a new snack, or most commonly, a new turn of phrase. I love finding my own way to describe things because it’s often the only way my crazy, weird brain can truly… Continue reading

Baked Cheeto State of Mind
So first off, let’s just get it out of the way and say that yes, I LOVE Baked Cheetos, but that’s not exactly what I’m here to talk about. I’m not going to go into detail about why crunchy is better than “puffs” and why baked is better than regular or cheese explosion or whatever… Continue reading

The Olympics & the Human Spirit
Even with the Olympics almost a week gone, I’m still finding it difficult to adjust to life without them. For 17 straight days my family had recorded and watched as much Olympic coverage as we possibly could and somehow it still feels like we should have watched more. Nothing really beats the Olympics for me.… Continue reading

Me, Myself & My Broom (And How We Solve Problems)
The other day I was moving furniture back and forth around the living room, sweeping up the dust and crumbs the wood floor had collected over the week.

To All the Girls I’ve Ever Compared Myself To
I’m sorry. I’m sorry for all the times I looked at you like an object when every moment of every day I argue why no one should ever do that. I’m sorry for looking at your body and wishing I had the same one. I’m sorry for making assumptions about you based on our differences.… Continue reading

You… Continue reading

An Open Letter to Mom’s On Their Way
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed growing up with my mom, it’s that she always seems to be on her way somewhere. Whether it’s to work, to the store, to school, to one of our softball games, to the bank, back to school because someone forgot something, and then back home to cook dinner, go… Continue reading

Dear Thomas, Love the 2115’s
I’m going to be honest, it wasn’t easy hearing the news about your car accident. It was just a normal day, an ordinary Sunday afternoon, until suddenly it wasn’t. Suddenly there were phone calls and texts and articles online and they all seemed to say something, but not enough. They said you were okay, but… Continue reading

Today I’m starting a new series where I try and pitch some amazingly great, totally not crazy ideas, in the hopes that someone somewhere will *light bulb* them into the real thing. So, let’s jump right in. Dear Innovative Inventors Looking to Change the World, I know you’re out there. You’re sitting behind your… Continue reading

How Lucky Are We to Hate That?
I wake up with a stretch and yawn, only to find that my alarm didn’t go off and I’m now late to work. I hate that. I get dressed to go out to dinner and I spill makeup on myself and have to change. I hate that. I’m sitting in traffic and a guy in… Continue reading
