  • Burned Out, Still Kicking

    I swear, I would really, really love a week where my world wasn’t rocked by some random piece of information that shouldn’t bother me anymore, but it does. This week, my ex-husband is the reason I’ve been distracted. And I won’t get into it here, but you know what? I’m tired of it. So freaking…

  • I’m Too Old for This Shit

    So, for my birthday this year, I decided I wanted to go do something. Well, okay. I needed “supplies” for writing. The fact that it was my birthday was just a happy accident. Well, I decided it would be a brilliant idea to spend the weekend TENT CAMPING. Yeah, my back is screaming at me…

  • The First Step

    Alright y’all. Sorry for the late post this week. I was busy putting finishing touches on part of my manuscript to send to my editor/proofreader. Yeah. I actually hired one. Insane, I know. It feels like I’ve handed over a piece of my soul. It feels jarring. I’m nervous as can be because what do…

  • What is happening?

    I was so excited to be the life of the party this summer. I was so excited for nights out, lots of memories, and just good time after good time. Now, I’m sitting in my home on a Sunday night, and I haven’t even gotten dressed today. My life feels like it’s in a downward…

  • Triggers

    I told myself I would never lie to you (other than about my name). So I’m not going to start now. I drove to Nashville on 5/28 in anticipation of going to see Reba play after the Music City Rodeo. Y’all know how much she means to me. I was desperately trying to chase after…

  • New Collection

    I’m writing this the night before my book is released. It’s late, and I should be in bed. But I just can’t sleep to shut my brain off to allow myself to drift off to sleep. So instead, I’m up, on my people eating couch (it’s super comfy, I love this couch) watching Bones for…

  • I’ve been sick with a sinus infection. I lasted about a week before I caved and went to the doctor because I knew I had a fever and nothing was helping my symptoms. After four days of antibiotics, I can say I feel better. I’m not 100% yet, but I’m getting there. And just in…

  • Auntie Liz

    I have once again been made an aunt, this time by my sister. There is nothing like seeing your niece (or nephew) for the first time. I’ve been blessed with two blood nieces, one of whom entered the world today. As I sit and write this I haven’t met her yet, but I know I…

  • Book Month

    It’s finally here. The month my book comes out. Never thought I’d say those words. Especially given the shit I’ve been through in the last 2 years. But anyway, It’s book month. Which is a little bit exciting, but also terrifying. Mostly I’m not sure what I expect out of this experience. I don’t know…

  • The Moment You Realize

    Have you ever had a moment when you realize that you’ve done the thing you’ve been working so hard to do? Like you’ve been working towards this abstract goal, and you finally reach it, but you don’t realize it right away and when it hits you you just completely lose it. I’m there. I’m right…
