I know weโre all basically feeling like we should get an โI survived 2020โ tee for making it through this year < wow that sounded more clever in my head, seeing it in print Iโm confronted with the thought of just how many did not. We lost (and still are losing) astronomical numbers of peopleContinue reading “2020 Survivors”

Holiday Hell ๐๐ฅ
If there is indeed an afterlife and if my life of sin should assign me eternal damnation as my ever after, I have a pretty good idea what my personal hot spot will look like. The glow of Hellโs fires will actually be the soft twinkling of holiday lights. The background noise wonโt be theContinue reading “Holiday Hell ๐๐ฅ”
Somewhere in between the dark and the lightโฆ
It has been in my nature for a while now to reference the dark vs light quite a bit. I suppose I use it literally, biblically, figuratively, metaphorically, metaphysically…you know, all of the above. I just really like that whole light/dark vibe…I see where it is applicable in so many situations, but if this pastContinue reading “Somewhere in between the dark and the lightโฆ”
In โDeannaโ wants me ๐ถ
I say โstories that are mine to tellโ, but is this one really mine? Many memories overlap and intersect with someone elseโs, but this story does not live in the black and white world of my memory vs theirs, having been created during shared experiences, thus creating a story we both call our own. ThisContinue reading “In โDeannaโ wants me ๐ถ”
Just an old soul trying to get home ๐ฎโ๏ธ๐

Now having painted the full ancestry result debacle, Iโll wrap it up here with this sweet discovery. As I mentioned in the post before last, I have a deep soul connection with New OrleansContinue reading “Just an old soul trying to get home ๐ฎโ๏ธ๐”
2% 2 late ๐ฎ๐น
So to the question โwhereโs my Italian?โ…Turns out I have an answer… I tracked down 2% of it! As ancestry improves the science behind determining dna, results become tweaked to be more and more accurate. With this fine tuning my ancestral connection to Wales has become very prominent and just for a fun little (hahaContinue reading “2% 2 late ๐ฎ๐น”
Shared memories…
Memories of someone elseโs memories passed down through the years, delicately intertwined with memories of my own. Memories of words, and images, scents, and sounds, live in my mind with crisp detail, while some are shades of gray, obscured by the shadows in which they were created. Memory is a tricky thing. Many times IโveContinue reading “Shared memories…”
That one time I married a monster…
I made him a Long Island Ice Tea and he went home and told his mother he was going to marry the bartender. It was my first summer as a full time resident of the small east end community I had visited frequently in my youth. As for this Long Island Ice Tea drinking customer,Continue reading “That one time I married a monster…”
Montauk Memories & Such ๐
I know when I shared my โNo really, Iโm Italianโ post, I left off with a teaser for what would be part two of my dna tales. Then my ex-wedding anniversary rolled around (2nd marriage for those keeping count of marriages I mention in posts), which brought with it several years worth of fb โonContinue reading “Montauk Memories & Such ๐”
A tragic date in history…
When fortunately one tragedy happens to pave over the memory of another…
