A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I can squeeze every last drop of therapy from retail therapy. Especially the online kind. Here's why it's fairly harmless and here are its benefits (and this is a prime example of Freud's rationalization) : If we really wanted to buy things, we'd go physically instead of cozying up with the laptop or some annoying...

Gather around...this will not be repeated for the fear of an epidemic of husbands dumping more work on frazzled wives and especially the SAHMs. I'm going to share the secrets of the sisterhood with you but hush now and come closer and read quickly because this post will self-destruct in 1 minute! We like doing... Continue Reading →
The biggest irk about "healthy living" is when it's forced down your throat by someone who thinks they (meaning the rest of the family) ought to change their eating habits. Recently Red went on a road trip with a childhood friend who has embraced healthier options in his life vis-a-vis his eating habits. This individual... Continue Reading →
This is a post just because. Just because someone did something that benefited them in no particular way but added happiness to my day. Just because someone took a little bit of trouble so I could do something non-critical and non-urgent and insignificant to everyone else but relevant and significant for me. Just because. And...

I am ready to be included in the pantheon of martyrs now. I watched Sharknado. And am glad that I did because it is the MOTHER of all BAD movies. It is SO bad it's the BEST BAD movie of them all!It's BEYOND preposterous, ludicrous, over-the-top. It defies explanation and expression.And it's aptly summed up... Continue Reading →
Like good things tempt us, bad things tempt us even more. When I say bad I don't necessarily mean sinful or decadent or even libertine in any way. I mean BAD as in how-in-God's-name-was-this-allowed-type bad. Movies fall into this category very well, thankfully because sometime your brain likes the jolt that comes from watching something...

A beautifully written, non-preachy, non-judgemental blog post by a beautiful woman who was quite a “boy” while growing up. She talks about being a *person* vs being a male or female.
Something to aspire to.
I have been shying away from highly controversial topics on this blog recently because I just couldn’t take the drama that naturally associates with it. But I keep hearing the story of Ryland, a child who was born a female, whose parents have transitioned her to male at 5 years old. You can see the full story HERE, but in short, because their daughter identified herself as a boy, and liked “boy” things as opposed to “girl” things, they cut off her hair, bought her “boy” clothes, and have begun telling her, and others, that she is a boy.
I have no degree in early childhood development, nor have I studied psychology. I didn’t even graduate from College.
I am also not here to pass judgement on Ryland’s parents. I believe that they are doing what they believe to be the most loving thing for their child. I’m simply sharing my…

Once upon a time. A slightly borderline woman bought a nice camera. And promptly crossed the border. Here are things her eyes viewed.
Every now and then I like to pretend. That things in my home are nearly picture perfect. When I sit down on the couch, or a chair I'm not likely to sit on a clothes pin that will jab me in the gluteus maximus. That I will have my coffee in peace, at length and... Continue Reading →
People often introduce their spouses as their better halves. Or bitter depending on what time of the day you run into them or during which pet peeve they seem to be exercising; but the fact of the matter is that you do feel like something's missing when someone in your family or your everyday existence...
