Feelin’ Good
Video from one of the last ArtWalks I went to before we moved from JAX. And, of course, I can’t remember the band’s name, but they were fabulous!

Opportunity Knocks
Opportunity is all around us – we just have to be willing to see it…or have the balls to grab it. Ooorrrrr…sometimes, you just need to admit you’re kind of an unscrupulous a$$hole.
MoreJesus and Betty
After I parked next to this vehicle and got out, I was assaulted with a plethora of bad window decals. Immediately, I wondered “Does this mean Jesus loves Betty Boop?” According to the stickers this giant SUV he does…although it kind of looks like maybe he’s just looking down on old Betty and thinking to himself “Jesus […]
MoreA Horse? Of course!
I have no idea if his name is Ed, or Mr. Crazy Pants McGhee, but I am going with the latter….
MoreMy pee got scared!
A few weeks ago, I had to take a pee test to check for drugs in my system. No, I’m not on probation (to some of you and yours surprise, I am sure). Rather, I recently received a stellar offer to relocate to Portland and part of the company’s pre-employment screening process involves a background check […]
MoreDon’t cats groom themselves?
This was the first question I asked myself when a friend of mine told me she was taking her cat to the groomer. Of course, it would make more sense that the cat needed to go if it were a long-hair Persian or Himalayan that was covered with knots and balls of matted up fur. […]
MoreMy bike is more famous than I am…..
Sometime back, a friend of mine and I liberated a bike from the horrors of decomposition on Atlantic Beach. Since then, she has lived a lovely life in the Urban Core, spending her days within the confines of our loft, or out schmoozing with rock stars….literally. Last Sunday, my friend Carlos was volunteering to sell […]
MoreFair Trade
Poor S got conned into dog sitting again this weekend….by me…..HA! Our friends went out of town, so we watched their obnoxious little terrier-mix, named Riley. Okay, truthfully….Riley’s not really that obnoxious….only when the doorbell rings and he barks his head off, or he has to walk outside, on a leash and he tries to kick […]
MoreSouthern “Charm”
Wheels down – and not a moment too soon: Me: I am seriously being subjected to a sermon on the plane by the two people in the row behind me right now. Mom: Southern bible thumpers? Me: YES Mom: Ugh Me: Talking about how the devil is alive and well because there are “witch doctors” […]
MoreEFF Mary Poppins!
A few weeks ago, I watched our neighbors’ place while they were out of town for the week. They have a cute little cat, whom I was in charge of feeding twice a day. Not really that difficult since I have a fur farm of my own, so when they returned they were happy that […]
MoreThat Wascaly Wabbit!
My Wednesday evenings are typically set aside for yoga and wine. I have tried it this combination in reverse a time or two and I can honestly say that Vino and Vinyasa is not a good combination – Lululemon really should be sued for false advertising…..and not just for their see-through yoga pants either….do people […]
MoreThe Annual Running with the Bull(dog)s
In April, S and I went to visit his parents in Arizona. I had never met them and we had a lovely time. During our vacation, our friends graciously watched Ginnie the week we were gone. Ginnie is now about 17-years-old and is the most patient, tolerant, happy, well-behaved dog I have ever known. People […]
MoreDuval Ditty
Yes, this is where I live….thank the lord it’s not where I am from. Education has been cut back so badly, that kids only go to school for half a day – this video is a testament to that. And sadly, in the news this week, they are shutting down 6 more libraries in Duval […]
MoreBubblegum Pink Uniforms!
So, as I am driving to the gym today, I see this dude in a bubblegum pink t-shirt standing right outside the jail (no lie, but didn’t get a pic either, damn it!). Let me back up a minute….I live downtown, about a mile away from the Springfield ‘hood. Right. By. The. Jail. In the morning, […]
MoreThank goodness I didn’t get a$$ f****ed by a cactus!
Recently, I decided after readying this lovely little article that “I vow to no longer use my phone when interacting with friends and family.“ I am pretty sure I have said this before, but if not, I will say it again – the Universe has a sick and twisted sense of humor……which also makes me love […]
