After dropping A off at school and driving down the street, I got a phone call. I answered it and a cute little voice said, "Mom, I forgot my project at home in the living room. Can you bring it for me? I'm sorry." Since it is her first time forgetting anything this year, and … Continue reading Life

I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Last night I deleted my longest standing Instagram account. I have had it for at least 10 years. It was a record of my life. I decided I don't want to share my life on Instagram anymore. I kept my art account, as well as the account where I network dogs. But my days of … Continue reading I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Change of Plans
I'm pausing YouTube. If I restart, there will be a bible journaling/study channel and a book channel. But the whole purpose in having a channel is to raise money for my dog rescue, and I'm years away from being able to do that anyway. Plus, I don't like being on camera. I got some new … Continue reading Change of Plans
YouTube Channel Plans
Right now my little YouTube channel has 44 subs or so. I think part of my problem is that I don't have a niche. I talk about book reviews and religion and homemaking and I tell funny stuff, and bible journaling and do camera unboxings. That might just be too much. People who are interested … Continue reading YouTube Channel Plans
Adrenal
I went to the cardiologist this week. He gave me beta blockers and is going to give my heart a chemically induced stress test. But he thinks the problem is an adrenal gland tumor, so I have to do a twenty four hour urine test too. If it is a tumor, I will have to … Continue reading Adrenal
Spewing
We just dropped my inlaws off at the airport. On the way home I got sick and threw up all over myself and the car. Now I'm resting on the sofa not feeling well. I'd like to sleep, but it's just a few hours til bedtime (and my hair is soaked from needing to shower) … Continue reading Spewing

Who are you most inspired by? Baudelaire/Emily Dickinson/ Lorca. Baudelaire was the first poet I fell in love with in high school. I bought his Les Fleurs du Mal in high school when I wasn't supposed to be buying books. I hid it in my dresser under my jeans and read it at night by … Continue reading 4
Inlaws Are Here
My inlaws are here. Day 2. I haven't been at my best, or really been the best hostess. I'm antisocial, moody, and tired. I'm stressed out. Why can't I relax? Having C home for the week is nice. I wish it were time with him with just the immediate family. But I'm glad he's getting … Continue reading Inlaws Are Here
Curvy, Sexy, Comfy
Resurrecting an old post from several years ago. Today I got an email concerning an old website I used to run in 2016 that is now offline. In it I talk about body positivity, sexiness, and comfort. I didn't want to lose it, so I have pasted it below. So I tried on some gorgeous … Continue reading Curvy, Sexy, Comfy
Welcome to My Refinished Space
I'm in my soft era. I want to write about my creative endeavors, marriage, motherhood, and Catholic faith. Of course I'll still write about submission, and also the Bipolar Disorder I struggle with. This is an honest diary. But I don't want as much acerbic content here as I have had in the past. I … Continue reading Welcome to My Refinished Space
