I’m often flippant about mental illness. Come on. I have a blog named “Taste Like Crazy”. How can I NOT be “lacking in seriousness; characterized by levity” about it? And, if I wanted to be completely honest, I’d say that “levity” is a coping mechanism and we all have them. Mine is making light of serious situations [...]

I fired my shrink today. How’s that for an opening line? I knew from the first time I met him [actually before I met him] that he most likely wasn’t going to be a good “fit” for me; he was almost 30 minutes late for our initial appointment. Not exactly a wonderful first impression. I think I’ve already written [...]

The first of the month for me is always the time when I coast; the end of the month is when I go insane since I’m a habitual procrastinator. While the rush to the deadline sucks, the day after and the relief of having it done is usually more than enough payoff. Today the goal of the [...]

Today is the day when it seems like all of the technology in the house is conspiring against me. Direct TV started acting up a couple of days ago. Cara and Ollie would be watching some cartoon [and very much enjoying said cartoon, might I add] and the next thing I know, Cara is hollering about the [...]

One of the things all of the “How to Be a Writer” books will tell you is that, in order to be a writer, you must read. And I do read – sometimes obsessively – but I don’t read the things I think writers probably read. For instance, I wonder how many “real” writers have read the [...]

I woke this morning to one child who is sick and thinks it’s her job to be as whiny as is humanly possible and to another child who thinks it’s his job to ceaselessly taunt and poke the sick one. This is not what I consider the start to a good day. Thus far, I’ve made two [...]

Tonight brings another night of YouTube videos but tonight includes some of my own instead of just the Vlog Brothers. Also, in case you heard about the tornado in Huntsville, we’re fine [obviously] but I DID catch a rockin picture of the precursor to that tornado. Check this out: Part of my job over at EveryJoe.com is to [...]

This is the post I write because I don’t want to write for work. This is the post I write because I am procrastinating. This is the post I write because even though I know I’m procrastinating, I’m embracing that part of me, as I often do. So, needless to say [though I will] this post is all [...]

This was a weekend for firsts for me. First time someone called me ma’am – AND MEANT IT – the first time my mom came to visit for an entire weekend and we didn’t fight and actually had a great time, the first time someone read something of mine and understood the characters. So. Let’s start from [...]

It has been a very busy couple of days. On a whim, I made an appointment with a new psychologist and had my first appointment last night. I’m not sure what my first impression of him is. Of course, before I made the appointment, I did some research on the guy and he’s ex-Army, has a [...]

You wanna know why you should never complain out loud about things going not so badly? Because the next thing you know, your gonna get snowballed with crap and find yourself saying to…well…yourself that maybe things weren’t so bad when your husband got a traffic ticket and maybe you should have written about puppies and kittens [...]

The funny thing [at least to me] about having a wife who has a blog [and obviously I'm talking about TUCKER having a wife and not ME having one squirreled away in a closet somewhere] is that if you tell your wife a bit of information, there is a high rate of probability that what [...]

Since I took the easy way out by posting the pictures of the kids, I figured today I would write a rather uninspired but timely post about Tucker leaving for Drill today and the niggling [possibly] irrational fear I’m feeling since it’s been snowing. And since my heart and head wasn’t really in it, I scooted [...]

I guess this is supposed to be a “wordless” Wednesday but you know how good I am at doing anything wordless…I suck at it. So, here are pictures that were taken over the Christmas holiday. Most were taken on Christmas Day and most were taken by my in-laws. Pretty much all of them slay me. Though I [...]
