Pickles

I am an open book. If you ask me a question than I give you an answer. Sometimes, okay a lot of times, I probably give you information that you didn’t even ask for! I remember when I was younger I was with my Mom and someone complimented me on my shirt. ”Thanks!” I said. […]

Grammy Is Coming Home!

My Grammy in 93 years young. Cliche, I know, but she really is! Grammy moved to California before I was a conscious human. I remember visiting her as a kid, I even got my first bee sting at her complex trying to pick up a bee at age one. (I mean what was I thinking?!) […]

My Grammy Might Be Cooler Than Yours

It started with a text at 6:26 pm from my 93 year old grandma reading: “Appreciate your advice on medical cannibis I will mail you and we could arrange a phone time miss you love 💕” I went through D.A.R.E. twice and didn’t try marijuana until I was 37 and I tried it with my […]

My Boyfriend

“Is that sweatshirt your booooyfriend’s?” “Are you talking to your boooooyfriend?” Let me clarify now: I DON’T HAVE A BOYFRIEND in that sense. I have plenty of friends that are boys but no marital extra curricular activities. Why does my child think I have a boyfriend? Because when Angel and I hang up the phone […]

One More Marathon Post

We were at the .2 of the 26.2 miles of the 2019 Chicago Marathon. Jamie and I had trained together but she had a little more oomph left in her than I did. (I blame the biofreeze, it seemed to make her invincible!) I looked at her and told her to go ahead. We were […]

I am a Marathoner.

I’ve never considered myself a runner but rather a person who runs. I felt like I didn’t fit into the mold of an athlete. I exercised to keep my metabolism high to counteract my love for ice cream. When I ran races I felt a bit like an imposter. I was running but they were […]

DragCon

We woke up at the crack of dawn to take the train to Manhattan. Donned with sparkles and glitter we boarded the train the Drag Queen utopia we have visited for the past two years. DragCon is the place on the east coast that queens and fans unite to celebrate the beauty of living your […]

Hibernation

Winter is when when most people hibernate. We desire our couches with blankets and hot drinks. We long for the days of summer where we hang with out friends. Except me, I hibernate in the summer. Summer is the time to get out, enjoy the sun, and reconnect with your friends. My summer is when […]

Story Time is now Controversial

Any of you who know me are well aware of my involvement in the local drag community as an audience member, costumer and enthusiast of the art form and the messages that it sends. Queens challenge the ideas of gender, politics, social construct, the list goes on. What is Drag? There really can’t be one […]

Running With a Team

I’m a track and field dropout. In high school I would see the athletes wearing their matching outfits on game days and be envious of their matching team shirts and decided I wanted to join a sports team. The issue was I didn’t do any sports. What sport could I do without any prior knowledge? […]
