When kids are involved, I always opt for the less is more tact.
Hello!! I AM BACK. How has everybody been?? I’ve been whooping it up all over California. It all began on the 11th with a couple days stay-cation in LA, then a drive up to Carmel By the Sea, which is...
Why don't people behave at airports the way they do in real life?
I feel like my life has been a whirlwind ever since Brianna and Craig became engaged last December. I cannot believe that the time has come once again to get on the plane and set off for our Cali house....
What's the correct amount of time for a family to live under one roof?
I’m stunned by how many moments in each passing day that are, what I like to call, “throw away” moments. Things you choose not to react to because what would be the point, knowing that speaking your truth, or your...
Why are Western people so involved in all things???
Honestly, Westerners are so, as my girls would say; “woke.” I admit that I have many issues that “get my goat” as it were. Things that I wish were completely different than they are, in fact this entire blog of...
Fear is no way to live, especially as a creative person.
Being “ripped” off is such a tricky situation to find yourself in, it’s sort of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Especially when it seems like the questionable use of content is coming from all sides, and people...
Remember that a good, or bad Christmas doesn’t define you, or your life.
Well that happened, quickly didn’t it? Christmas is like a wedding, or a birthday, you wait all year for the day to come and then BAM it is over so quick, if you blink, or nap, you miss it. As...
How to enjoy the last two shopping days before Christmas!!!
May I please address the elephant in the room? Most of us have way too much “stuff” in our lives, in our homes, our closets, our drawers, even in our cars. We rarely tell ourselves “no” to that latest thing...
Why do some fans think "petting" Yannick is an okay thing to do??
I’m constantly amazed by how people react to my husband. To me he is good ole YB, who falls asleep too early for my nighthawk ways, and rises with too much piss and vinegar in the morning, for my anti-morning...
Who wants to go to Thailand sick?? Not me that's for damn sure.
I cannot believe that I’m so sick AGAIN?!? And literally on the heels of having been very sick in mid-November. Honestly, I’m so over 2017 I want to punt it into the stratosphere. I’m beyond annoyed with ending it on...
Getting social media priorities straight. Outrage over a young YB smoking isn't it.
A lot has happened while I was too ill to blog…Doug Jones beat the pedophile out of his long held position in Alabama. Thank God for all the African American women, who according to stats turned out in record numbers,...
I don't envy many people, except, musical theater performers.
I started my “career” on stage, my very first performance was in front of a live audience at the age of four, or was it five? Regardless of my age, I was bitten, and smitten by the lights, the excitement,...
I get that paying taxes is a necessary evil, but what can be done about how governments use our money??
I’ve been to Haiti and have witnessed first hand the utter devastation that the absence of both government, and tax collecting has on a country. It isn’t pretty that’s for sure, but, even though I have seen that, I must...
Who else is excited on the days when their bra comes off, and stays off, by 4pm?
Lately I’ve been wondering if I’m turning into my mother, well, maybe that’s a stretch, how about I dial it back and say that I’ve been feeling like I’m turning into some of my girlfriends. Not my girlfriends who are...
Who knew having happy married sex would trigger some people???
Jesus H Christ, and good Lord Almighty! I am stunned, honestly, sometimes the innocent, or what I think are innocent blogs that I write about what makes me go “hmmm” open up such a can of worms that I, who...
Is there a standard for the correct amount of hang out time post sex?
How much time after sex is the “right” amount of time for a lover to stick around post sex, I’m asking for a friend??? After waking me up to make love to me, and then taking me out for breakfast,...
Let's not call them Nazi "sympathizers" let's call them assholes.
It’s been a busy weekend around the Bisson ranch, when I’m blessed enough to have the entire Bisson 5 under one roof I go off the grid, combined with the fact that there is very little good news to be...
Are some women so bored they need to shame moms who delivered via c-section?
There has been a lot of noise lately about what is classified as a “natural birth.” It seems there are some people who don’t regard women who have had to deliver a baby via c-section as “motherly” or as “natural”...
Am I the only person freaked out about the possibility of an AI future?
Lately I’ve seen a lot of news about robots. Robot prototypes taking orders in restaurants, robots as potential care givers, and even FRIENDS. Excuse me? Are we really discussing the possibility that robots might be the next “friend” some of...
I say live and let live even if you suspect a friend of cheating.
I find the social commentary so fascinating when it comes to things like fidelity, raising kids, and of course politics. Especially when asking men their thoughts, or how they would handle certain matters. I love how different the sexes are....
Strong female online community, lunch with a rock star girlfriend, and my girls. I'm living my best Thankful Tuesday!
May I just say how completely thankful I am for this little community we’ve built via this blog of mine. I love all the different ways us women lift each other up thru it, and how we constructively discuss matters...
When you finally cross over to menopause are you old, or free???
Male followers this post is not for you, so look away, go watch the sports recaps from the weekend. My friends, it is official. According to blood results, and the fact that the painters haven’t been in since August 9th,...
