I am a little late with February’s book, but you didn’t expect me to be on time, did you?! If you’re being honest, you’re kind of impressed that I came back to this series at all, aren’t you? And yet, here I am, selflessly reading another self help book so you don’t have to*. You’re… Continue reading Book Review: Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop
Can I write an entire post to justify my being a dick to my friend? Well, I’m certainly going to try! I, in my secret heart of hearts, am a commitment-phobe. I do a lot of forever things (I have kids, I live with a dude who I plan to be with for the rest of… Continue reading I’m a Commitment-phobe AND a Dick
It has been awhile since I’ve posted a “Favourites” blog. This isn’t necessarily a January favourites list, because um… Unless I write it down (and I didn’t), I can’t remember the last time I went to the bathroom, let alone what I was doing last month. Here, instead, is some random online (mostly YouTube) stuff… Continue reading Des Favouritos
Soooo it’s been more than a month now since I read You are a Badass by Jen Sincero (my review here), and, as promised, I’m back with an update. I’ve gotten a little distance from the book since my last post, and while I still think about some of the concepts, I dropped most of the… Continue reading You Are a Badass – 1 Month Later
I’ve decided to read 12 self-help books in 2018, and I’m taking y’all along for the ride by way of a new blog series I’m calling “Reading Self Help Books So You Don’t Have To”. I have to admit, the title is a little misleading; I would encourage you to pick up a copy of… Continue reading Book Review: You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero
Well, it’s January 2nd and I am literally and figuratively writing this post from bed (where I have been, by the way, all day). I’ve been feeling like crap, entertaining out-of-town guests, and feeling behind in general. Gone is the mid-December New Year fervour, and in its place, the “Oh shit, now I actually have… Continue reading 2018: Create a Lot of Things (even if it turns into a garbage fire)
I’ve spent a good part of my adulthood wanting to start my life over again, fantasizing about how great everything would be now if only I had done something differently then. I can’t tell you how many hours/days/years I’ve dedicated to wishing I could go backward. I know with crystal clarity that I’d spend my… Continue reading How One Facebook Post Changed My Life
My oldest daughter takes after me in so many ways, if you put us side-by-side at 7 years old, you’d question who was who. That’s both a good and a bad thing because, in addition to inheriting positive qualities like my craftiness or soft spot for the underdog, she has also inherited my negativity. Like,… Continue reading A New Dinnertime Ritual & Wedninterestday Taco Stuffed Peppers
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I need to befriend a 13 year-old girl so I have someone to gossip about the Internet with. Like, is anyone following the Jaclyn Glenn/Social Repose break-up? Because none of my friends are, and the whole thing is KILLING ME. I have so many feelings, guys,… Continue reading Let’s Talk About YouTube
The cycle of my self-hatred is this: downward spiral into a depression that makes so me tired and irritable, I am either in bed, or thinking about how much I want to be in bed; then a small period of New Miranda time where I devise schemes to pull myself out of said depression and,… Continue reading To New Miranda or Not to New Miranda…
