I have been on a diet since I was adopted at six months old. I’m not joking, take a look at this clip from my adoption paperwork – I was a baby, and my mother was worried about my weight gain. She told me (in horror) that my foster parents fed me full calorie baby…
Let’s talk about marriage, shall we? What a loaded first sentence for a blog post. And, disclaimer: in this post I’m talking about marriage from a cis-gendered, heterosexual point of view. One of the things I get the most questions about is marriage. People (friends, family) wonder why Brett and I aren’t married, or talking about…
Part 1 of Funeralmageddon, Written in the Sky. This post was written on the airplane, carrying us from SEA to PWM by way of IAD. It took me WAY TOO LONG to get online and to start writing. How is technology still this clunky? Let us start by asking why we were voluntarily trapped in…
Solo blog post. This one is not as deep as my others, so perhaps you don’t need to run, screaming, away. It’s Saturday morning, and I’m sitting in my quiet house with just the pets and coffee for company; everyone else is asleep. I welcome the solitude, and yet I am craving human connection pretty…
So apparently when I write solo posts, they are deep ones. This is what is top of mind these days, what can I say? I know that everyone has their own stories to tell, so feel free to mosey along your way. Or start a blog and tell YOUR story. OR EVEN BETTER, WRITE WITH…

Yes, yes, this is another solo blog post. My fishing lines are still out there, waiting for my SO CALLED FRIENDS TO WRITE. Hahahaha, I’m kidding. This blog is whatever-the-fuck I do with it, so here we are. But perhaps I need to put out a few more fishing lines. WHO WANTS TO WRITE WITH…
Readers, please bear with me as I take a break from my regular blog format where I have conversations with friends and family about love, living, joy, and being human. I love this blog and those delightful conversations, but sometimes I find myself…waiting. Picture me, sitting by the side of the pond with a few…
Emily: Hey girl. Julia: Hi Mama. Emily: So I just started wearing shorts, at age 45. What do you think about that? Julia: I think I like it because I have always wondered why you don’t wear shorts. And I’m glad you feel comfortable wearing them because I think you look really good in them….
This week I’m talking again with Brett, my partner in crime. Emily: Hey boo. Brett: Hi there beautiful. Emily: Okay that’s cute ^. It was time for us to do a blog post together, again, no? We blog slightly differently together because we can sit in the same room and giggle as we type at…
