Complete transparency.

I don’t care that my face looks tired, puffy and that this is one of the most unflattering photos I have ever taken.  

What I do care about is what is under that shoe!!



Yes! That is me driving the truck, which I’m not a fan of driving anyway because it’s SOOO big compared to my RAV4, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand holding a shoe on the “ceiling”.

What, pray tell, is lurking in between the sole of said shoe and the fabric of the roof of the truck?...A SPIDER!!!!

And not just any spider but an actual spider and not a leaf flying in my window in the Arby’s drive through, yes that’s happened with the same freak out that just occurred.  Mattie you can just hush. 

This spider was the size of the shoe! OK, maybe more like a pencil eraser but it was EVIL.  Black and beady eyed, I think it had extra legs, and it only crawled above my head and randomly down the sun visor to stare and me and fake out a jump or two.  

And let’s talk about my passenger! My son, he was NO HELP!  He just laughed, got as close to his door as possible and at one point tried to jump in back!  I mean where is the gratitude that I gave you LIFE!!!

So, I stole his shoe, and drove down the road with one hand on the steering wheel, one hand hoping I was crushing the devil incarnate, one eye on the road and the other making sure the spider didn’t slip out from my death hold.  

For 8 of the longest minutes of my life!!!

Obviously I’m alive but I promise it was touch and go. 

In conclusion, the spider went to the bad place and tears of fear and rejoice may have been shed. 

And I won’t be driving the truck again....for a very long time.


I’ll be back soon! (Once I’ve recovered)

I Slept Funny And Now I'm Dying

Okay, maybe not "dying," but omg. I woke up and realized it hurts to turn my head. TURN MY HEAD.  I have such a massive knot in the left side of my neck, it would make a sea captain proud...or at least my old Girl Scout troop leader. And why, you ask? Why am I in such horrendous pain? What is the cause of this completely over-dramatic post?  I flipping SLEPT WRONG.  Seriously. My neck hurts, because I apparently slept standing on my head while breakdancing. That's the only position I can think of that would make any sense for how I'm feeling right now. I really don't mind aging, I just mind the "my body is falling apart" part of aging. As a kid, I could sleep on just a blanket on a concrete floor with no pillow and wake up the next day feeling AWESOME. Now, I basically need to have a heating pad on top of a Tempurpedic on top of another Tempurpedic on top of a fluffy cloud just to wake up feeling like I may've been human at on

I Tried Those "Easy" Nail Polish Strips And Here's What Happened

I am a low maintenance person. I love all the hair and makeup products. I wish I could be one of those women who always looks airbrushed and flawless with that perfect winged eye liner and just the right shade of lipstick, but that's just not me and I've learned to accept that.  I typically don't have the patience for a full, daily beauty routine as I'm trying to rush out the door, especially when it comes to my poor nails. Whenever a special event or holiday rolls around, I have the best intentions to get a manicure or at least take the time to polish and sculpt my nails, but it usually doesn't happen. I get busy trying to get my hair to cooperate, or not get liquid liner EVERYWHERE, or finish packing to leave, or cleaning if guests are coming, so the nails get put on the back burner. If by some MIRACLE of time management, through no fault of my own, I actually get them painted, without fail, I'll remember something else that needs doing and, no
