Well. Today is the twelfth anniversary of our awkwardly adorable “are we boyfriend/girlfriend?” “yeah” “exclusive, then?” “yep” “cool” conversation. Today is also the day I did not pass my CDL test. I shouldn’t phrase it like that. I went in…

We’re back, bitches!
Today is Veteran’s Day. 11/11. Thank you all for your service. This week – however – can suck it. This past week saw the single most qualified candidate in the history losing an election that was the culmination of the ugliest, most hateful, most divisive campaign…
Live, from Vegas! (Updated)
Vegas was HOT, guys. I mean, H-O-T! Burning hot. 110-113 every day. 90 or so every night. Walking through the outlet mall on Sunday with the sun burning down it felt like it might be a thousand degrees out there. I was pushing the double stroller…
Toast Can’t Never Be Bread Again
Spoilers will abound. Deal with it. Abbie & I began Season 4 on the day it premiered – June 17th, 2016. We only got through the first five episodes before she had to drive home for sleep, but we LOVED and hated it all. It was astounding and squirm-inducing…
Tired
Lately, I’ve been tired. The kind of tired that does not seem to abate with 10 hours of sleep (split of course, because that’s the only way I seem to be able to get it lately). The kind of tired that leaves me yawning and wanting…
Elliana Nichole

10 Things I Learned… Daily Rituals
This post is as much a reminder to me as a suggestion to anyone reading it. You see, I am trying mightily to get myself ‘right’ with the world. Striving to be the person I want to be, not the person circumstance has allowed me to end up. Which…
The Default
Tonight I’m watching “The Station Manager” starring pre-GoT Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, and Bobby Canavale. It is (so far – not over yet) very good; compelling performances of interesting and, yes, quirky characters. I especially enjoy Peter Dinklage’s “Fin”. He shows so much depth – as you’d expect having…
Social Burn-out
I am not a social butterfly. I am not my Daddy’s Girl. (Although it is almost his birthday and I am thinking of him a lot lately… thus the header picture) Well, to be fair, I think he was a weird kind of extroverted hermit –…
Adulting
So. Adulting. English is such a special language. I once read it described as the type of language that, rather than ‘borrowing’ from other tongues the way most do, corners the other world languages alone in dark allies and beats them up to appropriate bits of parlance. …
