A Wicked Life

I think Sundays get a bad rap.  I've seen posts on social media refer to Sunday as "Monday Eve." That may be the case for some, but for me, it's an opportunity to turn things around.  Kind of like New Year's Day but every week - I can either bury myself in my bed, crawl to the nearest eatery for brunch or reach for those goals I keep setting for myself. Either way, the day will be great. As I get older, my Sundays are not usually spent recovering from a hangover or creating one, unless of course, I had gone out on Friday night. Hey! I'm old. It takes some time to recover! Now, I enjoy getting up early and starting my day. If my Sunday gets away from me without doing something to make the coming work week easier, I might as well just go back to bed.  I make sure to have at least two key tasks completed before the work week starts.  Chores - light clean-up, laundry, sorting out the refrigerator, wash the car, grocery sho...

I had a discussion with my brother-in-law the other day. It was a mutual observation that individuals in this day and age are so easily offended. We are a society of thin skinned babies. What exactly happened to our ability to let shit roll off our backs? Laugh at ourselves for our differences? Be secure in our own skin? People are even offended of things that don't even apply to them in an effort to be socially considerate. Groups are created with the social conscience of calling out "insensitive" words or behaviors. Blogs are saturated with "What Skinny/Short/Heavy/ People Are Tired of Being Asked", posts. I recently read an article on LinkedIn about how a social media consultant felt when she was told "I don't do social media." She then began to give her observation on what kind of person is not into social media and that saying those words, shows they don't have any respect for her profession. "They could at least fake interest....

I know it's Tuesday but today's letter is M and instead of talking about my estranged sister Mari, I figured a post about Monday would be much more interesting. If you have ever met my sister you would know exactly what I'm talking about.  So here we go! dies lunea- Latin for Day of The Moon. Monday was considered the Moon's Day. I like Friday or previously known as Freya's Day but that is another topic all together.  Anyhoo, I'm sure we are all familiar with this nursery rhyme; How can anyone not love Monday? Whenever I find myself hating on Mondays I think of this song.                                                                   "Monday, Monday" Monday, Monday, so good to me; Monday morning, it was all I hoped it would be. Oh, Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee T...

Today's tarot card is Judgement and it is pulled from a very amazing deck, Deviant Moon. Card #20 in the Major Arcana Keywords:  A change in consciousness Clarity In readings, this card can be a reminder that judgments are necessary; sometimes you  must  decide. At such moments, it is best to consider the matter carefully and then commit yourself without reserve. If you are being judged yourself, learn from the process. Take what is of value, correct what needs correcting, but never lose sight of your worth. Judgment also stands for the feelings that come with salvation. The past and its mistakes are behind you, and you are ready to begin anew. You may even feel a calling - a personal conviction of what you are meant to do. If you are in a low period, in need of hope and absolution, Judgement can show you that renewal is at hand. This card can be very difficult to read because it represents a final decision. The person is at a point in their life to e...

Capricorn ~ The Goat December 22 - January 20 This zodiac sign is a sign of stability, calmness, and maturity. Individuals born under this sign are typically not risk takers. They are kind and considerate but will flip out on you in a flash. The tarot for Capricorn is The Devil. Symbol of control and addiction. Okay.... Capricorn Women are traditional in most aspects of their life. Stubborn and rarely can be lead in a different direction. Sexually they are, well lets just say after she sheds that business suit and sensible undies... watch out! It's on like Donkey Kong! Capricorn Men are typically conservative and follow the rules. They tend to be "loners" or have few in their circles. Some have the appearance of being cold and emotionally aloof, but it is more of a defense tactic. They take love seriously and are not usually players or cheaters. In the bedroom they are surprisingly "effective". They "bring it" so to speak. Go Capricorns...

Okay, we have all seen the memes. The motivational memes that give us the encouragement to love the bodies we were given. I think it is great to embrace what you are and who you are. Shout it from the mountaintops and don't let anyone make you feel like you are garbage.  Here is where it gets a little too much. All these big and beautiful women out there posting statuses like "Real mean love curves, bones are for dogs". Really? That is how we choose to invoke our inner plus size goddess?  First of all real men love real women. It doesn't matter size they happen to be. It doesn't matter what they look like. Anyone that treats anyone poorly simply on their looks needs to take a long hard look at themselves in a mirror.  So why are we attacking slender women? Threat? Sure it is. I haven't been a plus size woman my whole life. I didn't go through high school chubby. I was thin, super thin in fact that I couldn't find clothes that didn't make me lo...

I hope! I have officially entered in next month's blogger challenge  A -Z! I'm extremely excited. This is an amazing opportunity to not only gain new followers but also to see how my writing evolves after posting every day for a month. Plus, how creative I can be to write every day, being limited to the theme of the challenge.  So in order to amp up for this event I will be slowing down on my post's for March.  Wish me luck. April is going to be a crazy ride!

Well I haven't posted in awhile due to a crazy schedule and February just seems to be flying by...  I thought I would share my latest experience in travel. First of all I know there are a lot of hotel nightmare stories out there and studies done about how often bedspreads are washed and so forth. For that very reason I tend to be a little manic when traveling. Not too bad, I don't have an ultra violet light but after my last trip to Vegas, I am seriously considering getting one.   I have to share these pictures with you. They are gross but it needs to happen.  The wash cloth is on the handle of this sink because when I got up in the morning to get ready, I noticed some very dry toothpaste just kicking it in the most unusual spot of the faucet handle.... nice.  After lining the counter top with a huge bath towel (had to put my toiletries somewhere "clean") I went to use the hair dryer. Until now I have NEVER seen such a filthy hair dryer. I...
