Figuring shit out.
I think most of us knew this day would come sooner than later but somehow it didn't lessen the blow. When I heard the news, I cried. Partially because i'm starting to feel nervous about what's happening in our country with the extreme political divide and unrest. It feels scary and uncertain to lose someone…
I don't need to tell any of you that 2020 can eat a giant bag of donkey dongs. It's been a pretty terrible year so far with the plague, earthquakes in Utah, the fires all over the west, schools being closed, loved ones getting sick, isolation, depression, anxiety, and as of last week hurricane winds…
Hello! So, last month I started Mamma M's Movie Club as a fun way to share my love of movies and digitally hang with other people who are also super into film and since it's so new I'm still figuring out what it's going to look like and the very best way to have discussions…

So let’s hop right in! What did you think of Becoming? I was really excited to watch this because I've heard so many great things about Michelle Obama's book. And I have to say that the documentary didn't disappoint. The film pulled back the curtain and gave us a little peak inside of the world…
I haven't written here as much as I want or as much as I need. You see, writing is how I cope with life and my epically terrible sense of humor is how I make lemonade out of a batch of worm-infested lemons. Er, wait? No, that would be disgusting. Who the fuck wants wormy…
