Live Your Best Life
Seriously, if you are not out there living your best live, what are you even doing? 2020 sucked. Nothing we can do about it. It’s over. It’s been over. Time to put the year to rest and move on. 2021 was amazing. After being stuck at home for a year, my husband and I had a lot of time to make up for. A friend of ours was part of a new band, and thankfully we were able to see them play live twice last year (and already once this year). A wrestling show we were supposed to see in April of 2020 FINALLY happened in August 2021. Then we…

Can We Just Not Be D-Bags?
Guess what guys? This post is about wrestling. But also, it’s not about wrestling. Why is it so difficult for some people to be decent human beings? Back story. One of my favorite wrestlers (Sammy Guevarra with AEW) recently posted on Twitter that he and his fiance separated. He didn’t have to tell us anything, but since he literally proposed to her on live TV not too long ago, and she had several appearances in his weekly vlog, they decided it was time to let the fans know. Of course, people lost their shit. Immediately, the internet started blaming a bad-ass female wrestler (Tay Conti) because she was a regular…

Boredom, Day 5?
So, last week sometime. Thursday maybe? I’m not even sure anymore. But my dear old husband was diagnosed with Covid. We had managed to keep it away for nearly two years. Until last week. I’m vaccinated. I have no symptoms. I have had a negative test. I’m not sick. 100% not sick. Also not required to quarantine. The kids are not. They are ALL home from school until January. Husband is obviously home, although he is banished to the bedroom while I am taking over the living room. I am going crazy! Like, I can leave the house, but I still am going crazy! The kids have lost their minds!…

The Season To…(Be an Asshole)
I hate Christmas. I hate the lights. I hate the decorations. I hate the greed that causes people to ask for everything under the sun. I hate the fact that people feel the need to spend money they don’t have on worthless crap that will end up in the trash in less than a month. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some things I like. I actually enjoy spending hours in the kitchen making junk that we shouldn’t eat. Countless types of fudge. Cookies. Divinity. I like seeing the kid’s faces light up when they open a present they really wanted. I DON’T like seeing the kids get pissed…

Practically Writing Itself
A couple of days ago, I was hit by a sudden desire to write. It was kind of strange because it seems like I haven’t wanted to write anything in a long time. Or the desire is there, but the words aren’t. Well, I picked up a pen and I couldn’t put it down. The first few chapters practically wrote themselves. Brand new characters. Brand new issues. Brand new story. Still the same theme. #YouAreNotAlone. Charli is your typical outcast. Her family has financial issues. She spends a lot of her free time babysitting her younger siblings. She has only one real friend she can really count on. Landon is…

Your Friendly Neighborhood Wrestling Addict
It really seems like the only updates I post anymore are about wrestling, but honestly, it’s the only thing I do anymore. Watch wrestling. Go to wrestling shows. Rinse. Repeat. And the best part? It doesn’t get old! Last Saturday was my husband’s birthday. We made the drive to Waukesha, Wisconsin for a local wrestling event. While it was technically put on by Great Lakes Championship Wrestling, much of the talent was from Ohio Valley Wrestling as well as some Impact and AEW stars! And one of those AEW stars just happened to be my husband’s favorite referee, Aubrey Edwards. So me being me, I pulled out my handy dandy…

All Elite Fan Girl
It’s no secret that I am a wrestling fan. I have been since I was a teenager. However, over the years, the one major company that was around just seemed to be doing the same thing over and over again. I stopped watching. I would watch Wrestlemania every year, but other than that, I had better things to do with my time. AEW changed that. Seriously, unless I am physically at an event, I am religiously in front of my TV every Wednesday for Dynamite. I may occasionally miss Rampage on Fridays, but I will always catch a replay. Dark and Dark Elevation get watched if I have time. Then…

A Little Procrastination and a lot of Excuses
So, it’s obvious that I have been completely neglecting my writing the last several months. Actually, more like the last year, as I only finished and released one book so far this year, and that won’t be changing. I could come on here and give excuse after excuse. I’ve been busy with work. I had a lot of crocheting to do to be ready for my craft fairs this season. I worked a lot with my kids’ musicals. The bottom line is, I’m tired. I’m tired of telling people I’m a writer, only to have them ask me what my “real” job is. I’m tired of seeing all the chores…

Obsessed With Wrestling
I could sit and come up with a million excuses as to why my writing has taken a back burner lately, but that’s all they would be. Excuses. I was a couple of chapters into a new book. This one would be from the point of view of Jared and Taylor. The problem was, it seemed like it wasn’t going anywhere. I had to force myself to sit down and write, and a reader would definitely be able to tell that. The story didn’t flow like my other ones. I was completely blocked. I put my notebooks aside and focused on life. That life involves four kids in school and…

All Out Excitement
Anyone know really knows me should definitely know how into wrestling I am. Maybe borderline obsessive. My husband and I have the entire entryway to our house dedicated to various merch (action figures, autographed pics, etc). Last year, during Double or Nothing, my then 11 year old son came out of his room during the Stadium Stampede match. His eyes were glued to the screen the entire time. Since that night, he has been with us every week to watch Dynamite. He hasn’t missed a single PPV. He dressed as Darby Allin for Halloween. Half of his closet is full of various AEW shirts. In April of 2020, my husband…
