Con-Expo, Las Vegas
Previously on "The Las Vegas Shit Show"... Before I begin, the reason it has taken me 9 months for the continuance of my post, Viva Las Vegas, is due mostly because the crazy funny shit I wanted to include was about my "boss", other coworkers, & my soon to be ex-boyfriend (also a coworker), and...

The Painted Hills, a Road Trip.
Any one of these cars could kill me. One sneeze, one text, one bad dayโฆ It's terrifying.Yet, jumping on the back of a Harley with a complete stranger, who just walked out of a bar, with no cell phone service, doesnโt even phase me.

STAYCATIONS: Entertaining the Non Entertainable
Entertaining a 5-year-old boy for more than 5 minutes, who arguably has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), can be incredibly difficult to say the least. By arguably, I mean that heโs been diagnosed but I still think heโs mainly just ADHD like his mama. Apparently, symptoms of the two are very similar at this age. For... Continue Reading →
Traveling During the Pandemic: 14 flights, 12 airports, 8 states, 4 countries, 3 continents (a brief summary)

Mardi Gras in New Orleans – Part 3 (Wrap-up)
