Actually, I have a friend (Kathy L.) who refers to me as her Cussing Christian Friend. Does it offend you that I cuss? Maybe, maybe not. Depends, I guess on whether or not you cuss a lot too. Like my other friend, Kathy H., now she cusses like a sailor, and makes me look like…

Have you ever felt betrayed? Like someone you trusted hurt you on purpose or maybe not on purpose, but they hurt you deeply? If you’ve never felt betrayed by another person, you are, well, a unicorn! Because it happens to everyone at some point in their life. Sure, lots of us have been betrayed by…

I’ve had insomnia this week. It happens from time to time. Well, it happens a LOT. John wants me to have a sleep study done, which I’m looking into, but I have concerns…..like, I get up several (2-5 times) per night to pee. I know, it’s a LOT! But I drink a LOT of water…

I’m not one for making resolutions, but I try to make promises to myself that it will be a better year or at least I have hopes for it. It’s nineteen days into 2021, and I’m already exhausted. It’s bad enough that 2020 left most of us feeling isolated and alone during the Coronavirus shutdowns….

I’ve been thinking about what to write for a few weeks now. This is probably a TMI (Too Much Information) topic for some, nonetheless it’s something I feel I should write about. Several months ago (June to be exact), I made a post on the book of faces about cellulite and women wearing bikinis. I…

JIMMY My last post was about my older brother, Joey and our relationship. In this post I’m going to focus on my relationship with my younger brother, Jimmy. This relationship is a lot different from the one with Joey. Let’s start off with our “spacing”….Jimmy is 25 months younger than I am. One of my…

For those of you who don’t already know, I have 2 brothers — my older brother, Joey, and my younger brother, Jimmy. That’s right, I’m sandwiched right in the middle. And no, I don’t have any sisters, except through marriage. Which I’ll be honest, I’m kind of glad about. Of course, I don’t really know…

How does the saying go, “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could”? That’s John and I. We made the decision to move to Texas in December 2005, but why? Well, there were a few reasons… As you know, after we got married we had a house built in…

Clearly my brothers and I have suffered great loss when both of our parents passed at such young ages. If you really think about it, most of us become orphans at some point in our lives, but for most it doesn’t happen until we are much older. I remember thinking about that after Mom died….we…

I’ll be completely upfront with you here, it’s really tough to write about my dad. Some of you may or may not know that he died 20 years ago. That was one of the saddest days of my life, the worst day came a few months later when my depression was getting worse as I…
