RIP Joan Rivers

Today we lost one of the greatest female comedians. She paved the way for so many of our current favorite comedians. They say it always happens in threes. Recently we lost the great Robin Williams, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and now Joan Rivers. She was one of the first women I watched do standup comedy. It's sad to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace.

R.I.P.

Facebook madness, Please make it stop!

I'm not quite sure why we torture ourselves so much over Facebook and Twitter posts. Why do we have to be so hard on ourselves? 

We have all seen the torture posts. Here are some of my favorites.........

1. My husband just bought me a new car, insert picture of custom license plate here "*****" 

You don't have to tell us all about your new car. I'm still driving the minivan full of kids around but good for you!

2. I can't seem to gain weight, any ideas? 

Really, do you think your "friends" are going to  feel bad for you?  NOPE! Eat a fricken cheeseburger. I mean really, most of us are struggling to lose weight so SHUT UP about your "struggle" to gain! 

3. The pictures of your fancy food from the fancy restaurant. 

Thank you for reminding me that I haven't eaten out in..............well................forever. 

It's just plain crazyness and we seem to fall for it every time. Don't compare yourself to others. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. It's usually just astro turf. Give yourself a break and enjoy the wonderful life you are living right now. 

Hello September

As we begin in this beautiful month of September I am enjoying seeing the temperatures slowly drop. See in Arizona, we don't really get winter so we really look forward to Fall. It's like six months of cool, what we call "Sweater weather" really it just means we can wear shorts and a sweater with our flip flops. When us Arizonans speak about our Winter most people don't believe us. It's comfortable, very comfortable. We really do have great weather for most of the year. I'm not a fan of our extreme heat. Actually, I hate it. That's a whole different post for later. 

Have a wonderful day.  

Thank you for reading.

You are beautiful.

I sometimes stare in envy of those Moms.

I'm always amazed when I see those Moms who really seem to have it together. You know the ones with the clean unwrinkled clothes. The ones that look like they were able to look in the mirror before they left in the morning. The ones who look fresh out of yoga with coffee in hand. I wonder if they really have it all together, or if they are just really good at playing it off. It's hard not to stare at them. All in there glory, looking ready for their day. 

I can't wait to be one of those Moms. For now, I will enjoy being the mismatched wrinkled Mom. I think it suits me best. 

Just remember to always be the best version of yourself. That's always good enough.

Goodwill needs to lookup what the word means. Please share!

The story below was on the news recently. After I watched it I felt that I had to share it everywhere. Why would you pay someone with a disability less for doing ANY job? Don't you think it's harder for them to do that job? Shouldn't they be paid at least minimum wage? The majority of the products they sell are donated so they do have the money to pay fair wages. This is a disgusting trend that needs to stop. 

Please share this with everyone so we can shed a light on Goodwill and their outdated practices.
