What's something you believe everyone should know. Wouldn't it be really cool if we all came with an owner's manual at birth? Look how much time and money would be saved if we only knew how our individual beings functioned! Welcome to the world, Cari! Your blood type is A+. Congratulations! This is one of …

Nanometer Stressors
What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? "Revenge is best served cold." Kidding. I don't even know what that means. While I'm the Queen of Grudges, personally inflicting revenge on someone is completely outside my purview. I'll let Karma take care of that, thank you very much. The best piece of advice I've …
A Walking Contradiction
How would you describe yourself to someone who can't see you? I wonder how many of these prompts are attempts to gain PII (personally identifiable information) or are an honest to Goddess "get to know you" line of questioning? Hmmm? I'll play. Kinda... I'm trusting, until I'm not. Once I catch you in a lie, …
The $10 Solution To Saving a Marriage
If you haven't guessed by now, I love to take the ridiculous moments in my life and turn them into a (hopefully) humorous post for you, my dear readers. Okay, so every now and again I like to spout off my opinion on religion, share a recipe and my latest diet trend, or a bee …
DIY Liars
Two weeks after being diagnosed with a severe allergic response to limonene and fragrance mix II, my allergist added "propolis" to the list after a delayed response marker appeared on my back. Shit. Propolis is resin collected by honeybees used to fill crevices and to seal honeycombs. Fucking bee glue. Confused on why I would …
Grateful This day is THROUGH
I am all about gratitude. Every morning after I wake, I whisper "thank you" three times for getting the chance to live another day. Yeah, probably should've mentioned that one to my hubby; the first couple of times I started doing that, he thought I was possessed. I feel very fortunate. Every day, I reflect on three things …
Who Cares?
Who cares? I have asked myself that question every single time I have sat down to write a blog post, for almost a year now. Seriously, I have like 12 drafts in WordPress-land that will never see the light of day. I've been struggling, friends and fellow bloggers. It's been brutal. Growing up, and even into …
Don’t Forget the Black-Eyed Peas!!
I am a very superstitious person. Find a penny heads up, make a wish and pocket it. Tails up, hand it off to someone else to make the wish. Right palm itching means you're coming into money. A broom falling means company will soon be coming to visit. 11:11, make a wish. Spill salt? Better …
Slowing Down My Backswing
I am an intense person, by nature. The moment immediately after I roll out of bed, shower, and have my first sip of coffee in the morning, I'm like a bullet shot out of a gun. It doesn't matter whether it is a workday or a weekend, there is always something that I have to …
Religion, viCariously Speaking…
Religion. Always a touchy subject and I am probably going to piss a lot of people off with this post. For a little background… I have gone back and forth in my mind as long as I can remember regarding my faith and spirituality. I was force fed Catholicism for 17 years of my life. …
