Damn y'all, I've got a lot of goals for 2020. And it's already almost a quarter over with. I like to travel. I don't love flying, and there comes a point where I'm done being out in the world and just want to be home in my sweats, but my wanderlust is a pretty well-established... Continue Reading →
Hey… remember me?
Oh hi. I've been gone for awhile. After my uncle died I went into a bit of a funk. And by funk I mean full-fledged depression. It wasn't all related to his death; I found a new doctor in Albany and we've been messing with my meds a bit, plus the change in weather, the... Continue Reading →
Change of plans
I intended to post a review of the new Maybelline foundation tonight. I even have wear test photos. I was so excited that I was getting it together for this month. Then I looked at the clock. Work ran later than I planned, and I have a four-hour journey into the wilderness tomorrow, and many... Continue Reading →
Happy Pride! I was in the mountains. I used some things.
It's June! That means Pride month and rainbows for everyone! But really it's a lot more than that, like the recognition of those who've fought and literally died for the right to live authentically and love openly. Stonewall was 50 years ago, and sometimes that's forgotten in the haze of glitter and balloons and drag... Continue Reading →
It’s wedding week!
Like I mentioned last night, I'm in Florida. My best friend/wife for life is getting married this weekend, and I'm here to help her do tasks and not panic. I arrived Monday afternoon and so far, so good. If you're interested in seeing random photos from my travels with mildly entertaining captions, follow me on... Continue Reading →
January empties
Wow, it's been a long ass time since I wrote an empties post. It's something I did once and didn't feel the need to do again, but since my goal for the year is to use up a whole lot of stuff, I think we should check out some of my trash. Note: this is... Continue Reading →
Travel hair and skin care
I've been home from my most recent round of travels for a few days and I'm already packing to leave town again. This time I'm going home for the holidays; Christmas is something I look forward to all year, but Dan has to come back to Albany before the actual holiday and that sucks. Anyway,...

Travel makeup
It's been almost a year since I started traveling in a mildly insane manner. Boston, Michigan, various cities in Florida multiple times, Rochester, Albany, and now Roanoke, Virginia. Dan is here doing some kind of airplane training, and since there's really no need for me to be home, I met him here after my weekend... Continue Reading →
Family fun time in Ft. Lauderdale
My stepdad turned 60 over the weekend. His birthday conveniently coincided not only with his favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills, taking on their longtime rivals, the Miami Dolphins, in Miami, but the resort where my sweet, adorable cousin works in Fort Lauderdale was also hosting a Buffalo Bills-themed weekend, complete with game tickets, transportation,...

A mountain wedding, brain lip balm, and a lamentation
Hello internet friends! Did you miss me? It's been quite a week. Last weekend my wonderful, beautiful friend Alisha got married in the Adirondacks. It was as cold as... something really cold... but it was beautiful and fun and I can't imagine a better time. I got to spend quality time dancing and laughing with... Continue Reading →
Paranormal storytime: Waterford Rural Cemetery
This isn't the post I planned for today. I had intended to write about exploring my new city (which I suppose could include this) or maybe showing y'all the Allure beauty box that showed up in my mail unexpectedly. But no... it's paranormal storytime again. To be clear, nothing outwardly or obviously paranormal happened to... Continue Reading →
A day in Erie, PA
You know how we all have running group chats with friends, family, coworkers, whatever? One of mine is titled My Gangsters and consists of myself, Becky, Jason, Shauna, and Alisha. Last summer Alisha moved from our home in Western NY to Erie, PA. Yesterday was her birthday, and when Becky found out that she didn't have... Continue Reading →
#floridalife
I promised you some photos and commentary from my trip to Sarasota, and here it is. Finally. The whole point of my visit, aside from spending time with my lovely, darling friend Sarah, was to start talking wedding with her and her gorgeous fiance, Jess. We checked out the venue, talked logistics, brainstormed and ate... Continue Reading →
Road trip advice!
If you've been paying attention, you'll know that I drove from my home in western NY to visit my bestie and her future wife in Sarasota, Florida. After my glorious week in the sunshine, I drove back to Michigan to spend another few weeks in the frozen, rural tundra with Dan. The entire trip took... Continue Reading →
I’m still here!
Right now, "here" is a cheap motel in Chattanooga, Tennesee. There's a giant bed that's comfortable enough and the hot water is plentiful, so I really can't complain. I have lots of photos and stories to share, but for tonight I'm going to read a book and go to bed extra early. I'm about 800... Continue Reading →
