Sexy Canning = Botulism

Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…
Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…
My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half. Prior to this med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years. And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…
Broken, The Internet Is

So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…
A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies. It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead. I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that. What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically. Yes, yesterday I was…
The Way it Was, Back in the Day

I grew up in a religious family. I went to church every single Sunday. I was told not to have sex before marriage, not to drink or party and because of this I hid a lot of what was going on with me from my family as a teenager. They knew about my panic attacks,…
Give Me Realism Girls or Give Me Death!

Have you ever read a book where the main girl character just didn’t feel like a girl? Recently I’ve read several books like this where I think the author wanted the girl to be an “every girl” so they refused to describe how she looks or how she feels as far as being a girl…
A Tour of my Crazy Brain: Getcher Tickets!

A+ Work: “Thank you heaven above for blessing me with so many redeeming qualities, all of which want to send me sprawling across the room with one massive frantic heart throbbing bitch slap.” Jump on the crazy-train!! It’s gonna be…awesome guyssss!!!! I’m really excited at the moment because my whirlwind blog tour for Angst is…

Raw Emotion – Publishing Angst

So, I’m really excited right now. I turned my novel over to my editor for the second time and I feel like I’m getting really close now. She thinks she’ll have it for 2 weeks at the most and then it’ll come back to me for final, final polishing edits and then, gulp, formatting for…
The Breakup – Exposed

This is another one of my “scenes” or slices of life. It’s not related to my novel and is fiction. I think the idea came to me because I feel like there are so many girls out there who have no self-confidence, who have no self-worth and no matter how hard they try they can’t…

Your Feelings are Not Worth a Life: Walter Palmer

I feel I have to say something about Walter Palmer. I am sickened by this story, truly sickened by humanity and our egotistical wastefulness of a beautiful creature’s life. I truly believe that people who have some kind of craving or unrestrained desire to…
Big Game Hunter: Why?!

Now and then I see stories online about 2 things that catapult me trebuchet-style into a burning waste arc of madness. Two of them that have recently flung me into rage mode are are Big Game Hunters and the Ivory Trade. Why? WTF?!!!…
Aliens: Not as Scary

When I was a kid I was terrified of aliens. In the fifth grade our teacher showed us all these films about people seeing flying saucers and being abducted (and probed *shudder*) by big headed aliens in remote mountainous regions. (Why 5th grade…

My Endometriosis Story

Having a chronic illness is cool. Having several is even better. It’s especially fun when you think one of them might be gone and then it REARS its ugly head yet again and brings you right back to square one, living Groundhog Day all over again. So let’s talk about my Endometriosis story, which I…
This Season of USA is Lit!

These writers on this season of the USA are doing a bang up job keeping us on the edge of our seats! Let’s just hope they’re not like the writers for LOST! Buckle up for some existential rambling DREAD below! (Don’t worry, it’s not political.) As an aside – I randomly decided to check out…
As the Earth Tilts…on its Evil Axis

It’s that time of year again when the earth tries to screw those of us in the northern hemisphere by tilting itself away from the beautiful rays of the benevolent sun. Yes, ladies and gentleman, the hours of day light are getting shorter and we’re getting a hell of a lot colder, fast. Damn you…
The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

Remember that place the so-called Landfill? I know you’re like…”What? No? What place? I don’t recall anything like that.” (All said while avoiding eye contact). Well, I’m here to point your attention in the direction of your local landfill, filled not with LAND but with plastic and unwanted junk. Remember that place? I know, I…
Skinny Jeans: Finally, a Reasonable Explanation

For the longest time it’s been very unclear to my why Skinny Jeans are a thing. In fact, I devoted an entire blog post to my musing on the fact that Skinny Jeans do justice to no one and thus are a vast criminal empire where justice doesn’t even exist. But finally, the day has…
Tears of a Kitten: A Heroic Cat Rescue

Here’s a story for all you cat mothers out there. A story of heroism, kitten crocodile tears, trees, ticks, poison ivy, sneaky cats, darkness and more!! All the elements of a truly epic tale. SO EXCITING!! Several months ago in the early spring, I got home from work late just a little before 8 PM…
