So, here’s the deal: I don’t have medical insurance. I lost my COBRA coverage about a month before my heart attack in 2011. Having a heart attack without medical insurance SUCKS major balls. They tend to tell you things like “We are going to do this really expensive test to see if there is anything…
Read moreUpdate: Only Partially Maimed for Life
It has been 12 days since my trip to the ER and the acquisition of my lightning hands, so I thought I would provide a little update. I would LOVE to say that my hands were back to normal, or that I had realized an awesome new superpower. But alas, I can’t. The day after…
Read moreTotally Maimed for Life
The last two weeks have sucked some major donkey balls. It’s been over a year and a half since my heart attack, and I have been relatively healthy. I have been losing weight, and dong really well. Like nearly down 70 lbs from my heaviest. But two weeks ago, I started to feel all gross…
Read moreSix Years and a Million Smiles
Six years ago today, I was waiting. Waiting rather impatiently, actually. Twelve hours in an uncomfortable hospital chair waiting for her to arrive. The room was crammed with our family, and some friends waiting on the arrival of my first niece. My sister was a trooper, and as we would soon find, her first baby…

Bitchfest Wednesday Returns!! Nothing fires me up more than someone hurting people I love. The last few hours have been really stressful for absolutely no reason whatsoever and it pisses me off. I have managed to cut a lot of stress and drama out of my life in the past year, and I just…
Read moreA Day that will Live in Infamy…
A year ago today, I felt like crap. That wasn’t really anything out of the norm for me. After spending three years in and out of the hospital without much hope for feeling better permanently, I had gotten used to feeling terrible. But this time, it was a little different. Honestly, I didn’t feel any…
Read moreTime vs. Healing
Someone once said that time heals all wounds. Whoever said this was a sucker. Anyone who has ever been wounded, physically or emotionally, would tell you this isn’t exactly true. Let’s look at this physically. If you get a big gaping cut on your arm, what happens if you just allow time to take its…
Read moreUnder the Wire
Rather than writing today, I spent most of the day editing someone else’s work. My business partner Misty and I are working on a new project where she is going to be the case study for recently single gals to get their healing on. If you would like to read more about that, check out…
Read moreProcrastination Nation
Ah, procrastination. That giant word that becomes the bane of my existence. I am a total procrastinator. Not out of choice, really. Every personality test I have ever taken in life (and I have taken a lot, being a Psychologist and all) puts me clearly into the super-outgoing-friendly-with-the-attention-span-of-a-gnat category. Let’s just say, I have trouble…

Happy 4th of July…yesterday. I’m a little behind on, well, everything. I am working in getting back on track. Hopefully this picture will tide you over until I can get a real post together. Meet Beyonce Jr (also known as Rihanna (She is known as Rhianna because she is like Beyonce, but not quite as…
