Today, I stood in the middle of a field and bawled my eyes out. It's a good thing I was wearing absorbent mittens. I've been feeling positively lost lately. For the first time in years, I have absolutely no direction. It's just so frustrating because a few short months ago, I seemed to be on such a solid path. Seemed. [...]
That is SO 2014. I hope.
December 30, 2014 – Posted in: Blogging, Complaining, Okay That's Funny, WritingLately, when I've gotten online, I've found myself to be much less tolerant of...well...just about everything. I haven't exactly been my happiest self recently, and when I'm like this, I tend to have decreased patience for people, children, noise, the internet, and my dirty house. It's why I've all but disappeared from Facebook. The whole place makes [...]
Suck It Up, Buttercup
September 4, 2014 – Posted in: Blogging, Elfie, Grown-up Friends, Me Time, Memories, Nevada, Newt, Parenting, Reno, Tammy Thinks, TravelYou know that phenomenon where you put off calling a friend or writing an email because it's going to require carving out a chunk of time that you won't have until you're, I don't know, 90 (which is probably still wrong because my 90-year-old aunt is still pretty frickin' busy)? Or like how you'd really like to clean the inside [...]
The Totally Narcissistic Post About What I’ve Been Doing So I Can Get it All Out of My Head
May 23, 2014 – Posted in: Blogging, Blogging Betties Podcast, Bright Side of Life, Food, Grown-up Friends, Me Time, Tammy Thinks, TravelSo as you may have noticed, I haven't been writing much lately. This isn't due to lack of trying. It's mainly due to being hella busy. Add that to my somewhat baseline status of feeling hella crappy, and, well, end of story. As most of you know, I started the Blogging Betties Podcast with my [...]
Can You Hear Me Now?
March 18, 2014 – Posted in: Blogging, Blogging Betties Podcast, Tammy ThinksWhen I think of going outside my comfort zone, things like sky diving, pole dancing, and perhaps lip piercing come to mind. But first on my list? Definitely not . . . talking. Let me clarify. I've always talked a lot. Whether or not I've ever had anything valuable to say is up for debate, [...]
I’m a Blogma Mama
January 13, 2014 – Posted in: Blogging, Bright Side of Life, Illustrated by MeOkay, I'm going to allow myself to get all sorority-girl screamy for a minute because I got the BEST email this morning. Fadra Nally, who blogs at all.things.fadra, chose one of my posts for Blogmas 2013: My Top Favorite Posts. And just as icing, turns out my friend and drawing mentor, JC Little of The [...]
Life Through the Window Pain
January 2, 2014 – Posted in: Blogging, Chronic Pain, Tammy ThinksI started a Tumblr page today. I basically know NOTHING about Tumblr except that as a result of being on it, I follow a guy who's making a different balloon animal every day and woman who draws funny penguins and writes wry comments about them. Otherwise, as a social media platform, I find it generally [...]
I will Hug my Blog and Squeeze it and Call it George
November 25, 2013 – Posted in: Blogging, Tammy Thinks, WebsitesI'm like a little kid on Christmas today. Well, maybe like a little kid on Christmas who's totally excited about opening presents but also has to get dressed and go sit through church. And then have her presents slowly doled out to her by uptight relatives who make her come and sit down for breakfast [...]
What Bloggers Really Do in an Hour
November 1, 2013 – Posted in: Blogging, Time, WritingI've been "working" for the better part of an hour with nothing to show for it, and it suddenly dawned on me that every one of my mornings looks almost exactly like this. I sit down at the computer, determined to be productive, and the following chain of events occurs: Open email. Delete Gap ads. [...]
The Love, the Hate, the Hashtags
October 2, 2013 – Posted in: Blogging, Complaining, Media, Tammy ThinksOne thing I love about my readers is that a lot of you are just like me: sort of out-of-it. And I say that with oodles of love in my heart because, like I said, I'm truly one of you. I mean, by the time I got wind of the whole honey badger deal, there were already people [...]
