As a chronic entrepreneur, it seems fair that I should update anyone who might be interested, on what the last year has been like, as far as entrepreneurial adventure goes. Uhhhhhh. That’s about it. Yeah, it seems like the changes that occurred over the last year have left me with a lot of brain mush.…
I celebrate Christmas with my kids the weekend before the actual Christmas. We’ve always had to do it this way, because they go to Pennsylvania on the standard Christmas day. Before I was divorced, I went too. Now that I am divorced, their dad goes there with them. He seems to enjoy the hubub of…
The most insane thing happened yesterday. A man named Brad Stone, who I was once friends with, went on a killing spree in my hometown. He killed his ex wife, in front of his 2 kids. He then killed her sister, the sister’s husband, their 14 year old daughter, and injured their son. He also…
Last year in July my husband and I broke up. I moved out. It was fucking nuts. A lot of people were personally affected by this. Because, just prior to that time, I was very active on this very personal blog. I was very, very honest. People expected me to use the same honesty in explaining what…
OK so one of my goals is to stop making goals. I made a goal for myself to blog here at least once a week so I can be more appealing to the ad networks. Full disclosure here, folks. I want to make money for the work I do. So, I failed at my goal,…

During the school year, I have my kids primarily at my house during the weekends. It’s a bit of an unconventional set up, my ex and I share 50/50 custody, rather than the traditional; all week at moms, weekends with dad. I end up at dad’s house once or twice during the work-week as well…
I think everyone must have a deep, longing belief that if they had done some other career or craft, instead of what they’re doing, they’d have complete fulfillment. I have several. One of them is illustrating. I really, really wish I was an illustrator. However, when I sit down to draw, I tend to scratch…
I love Polyvore so much, and it’s the kind of thing that I just randomly need to do in order to survive. Here is the outfit that I made to inspire myself today. It says, “I’m comfy, and don’t fuck with me”. Period Day by meredith-porretta-knechel featuring relaxed boyfriend jeans River Island loose…
I’ve been looking for a job. I do that once in a while, when I have to. I had a very nice holiday season with the Etsy shop, but after January things kind of slow down a bit, until spring. The natural thing for me to do in this situation is to pick up some…
