Nashville Day 2 Missed the free breakfast. It was over at 9:30! Like, we’re on vacation, ya’ll, and breakfast was OVER AT 9:30. Went to the Country Music Hall of Fame. There is SO MUCH to see there! They take you up to the top floor by elevator and drop you off to begin the … Continue reading What We Did in Nashville This Year

TAIDIA – Part 3 – Nashville
Pigeon Forge wrap-up: We drove back from Gatlinburg to park the car at the hotel, nearly two hours from when we left. Google maps states the distance as 9.2 miles and a 21-minute drive. In what world would that be? For some reason that is now forgotten, we skipped the two restaurants across the street … Continue reading TAIDIA – Part 3 – Nashville
TAIDIA – Roadtrip 2.0 – Part 2
Todd’s car has something fancy-ass shit called lane assist or somesuch and also a loud alarm when you get too close to someone’s rear end. WHICH I did not long after I started driving through Pigeon Forge because Look! Something shiny! Which led to a startled, frustrated outburst from Todd and a “why don’t we … Continue reading TAIDIA – Roadtrip 2.0 – Part 2
Todd & I Do It Again – Roadtrip 2.0
Dad once told me that a road trip can really test the steel of a relationship. Or, in his case, the beginnings of one. Not my story to tell; however, suffice it to say that a cross-country road trip he took when I was a very young child erased any pretenses of him being in … Continue reading Todd & I Do It Again – Roadtrip 2.0
Why Costco Gives Me Anxiety
Anxiety takes on new forms when you become a certain age. It’s no longer about exams and love interests and paying the rent. Now it’s about the parking lot at Costco. It’s worse than Wawa, and that’s saying something. Seriously, today we have to go to Costco and the first thing I thought of – … Continue reading Why Costco Gives Me Anxiety
M.I.A. – Part 2
We ended up walking, slowly because 50s, to The Brass Balls for lunch. Sat outside under the umbrellas, with little birds flitting about like ninjas after crumbs left on the floor. And I say ninjas, because they have mad skills without the fuck-it-all attitude that seagulls have. Seriously, have ya’ll been to a boardwalk? In … Continue reading M.I.A. – Part 2
M.I.A.
My motivation to get up and go, got up and went. This is my current metaphor for my writing. Even my private journal is abysmally empty and then that becomes a bigger problem for when I do feel like blogging and can’t remember a damn thing AND have no place to reference. As it is, … Continue reading M.I.A.
Gone to the Dogs
When’s the last time I had a “My Life is Shit” post? Well, apparently the doggo gods have decided we’re overdue. But first – a trip to the Mart of Wal. Or you can skip the next five paragraphs. The choice is yours. You do you. I bought a raven lamp a couple of years … Continue reading Gone to the Dogs
Lessons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Pr1_v7hsw I heard this Foreigner song on the radio the other day. Takes me back to high school, on the sports bus on our way home from a wrestling meet. Todd and I might have been sitting together snuggling in the darkened bus, the rumbling white noise of the engine, surrounded by hushed voices and … Continue reading Lessons
Another Day, Another Dollar
You know, I’m a little offended that the paparazzi has not once reported my absence on social media. There has been no speculation on my whereabouts, or rumors of my disappearance. There’s no excuse, really. Where have I been? Isolating. Traveling. Apathy. Busy. Writers block and all that. It’s conference season for Todd and this … Continue reading Another Day, Another Dollar
