I decided to take a few days off. Friday, I went down the rabbit hole of Grey’s anatomy songs, with video, and realized the best songs were usually played at some of the saddest moment.

Somedays the brain farts and we just have to ride the ride 🎢 until the end (otherwise known as life during menopause – at least for me 😆). I thought I wouldContinue reading “Not a Real Post Post”

I was so hopeful for Colin Duffy! And I think I jinxed him by rooting for him in the finals (kind of how I jinx my favorite Amazing Race teams each season 🤦‍♀️)! I mean Nate Coleman earned the silver but I so wanted a fellow Coloradoan to win or at least medal. I guess theContinue reading “Sad Day in Whoville”
