I got my haircut and colored today. Not sure how I feel about the bangs…
What do you think?

A couple weeks ago I sparred with DJ.  He’s 14.  He’s fast and he kicks me in the head every single time I spare with him.   A week later he wanted to spare again and I declined because some nights, I just don’t feel like having a foot to my skull.  You know, when you’ve [...]

You should probably sit down for this.
Are you sitting?
Ok.
I’ve killed many, many plants in my day. I drowned a cactus and dried out orchids.  C’mon I killed a bamboo stalk and I’m not even sure how I did it.
There must be magic in our house because I’ve managed to not only keep this cactus [...]

Michelle has been back in Michigan since July (I think, she’ll let me know if I’m wrong haha), and I finally just got up to Cheboygan this past weekend. I was supposed to go a couple weeks ago but something cough-mydadscheduledbelttesting-cough came up.
This past weekend was probably better weather wise anyhow because if [...]

Lately because of the genius or burden of social media I’ve reconnected with old friends.  Which gets me thinking.  Has it really been 9 years since we graduated high school?  That our 10 year reunion is no fooling right around the corner?  Which means that our 30th birthdays will be here before we know it. [...]

There is not enough time in the day. I spend the majority of my time working or driving. Which kind of sucks because when I want to visit with friends that doesn’t leave enough time.
Um especially when said friend has a baby like this:

Or kids like these:
(Yes Amanda I totally ganked pictures [...]

This summer has been pretty fantastic.  I’ve been going out of town a lot.  Lisa and I are leaving for Oscoda tomorrow after work.
I made jello shots last night.  Mmmmm.  Lime jello with tequila and raspberry jello with vodka.   I’ll leave out the part where I spilled some on the cookie sheet so the bottoms [...]

Chuck and I just got back from another long weekend in Tawas with the dogs.  I’m pretty sure the weather was warmer at home but I guess that’s a small price to pay for the downtime I get being up there.

It’s hard for both of us to relax.  We are always running around somewhere, doing [...]

This story literally makes me sick to my stomach.  Last week a lone kitten led a neighbor to call animal control.  What the officers found were over 100 Chihuahuas living in feces and urine.   To make it even more disturbing there were 151 dead Chihuahuas in freezers.  Read the full story.
I’ve volunteered at the Dearborn [...]

Another year passes. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and others, like today, it seems like lifetime ago. Sometimes I wonder if I would be a different person if she was still alive today. Would I react to things [...]


My name is Maria

I somehow manage to keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds.
