Dear Sims I Unnecessarily Murdered
March 4, 2023
Dear Sims I Unnecessarily Murdered, I guess I should start by apologizing for the very name of this blog. Because I can’t really think of a ‘necessary’ reason to murder a Sim. But here we are. When it comes to caring for little simulated people, I acted like a Greek God… mischievous and without empathy.

So I Got My Dad An Inappropriate Birthday Present
February 23, 2023
In so many ways, like father like daughter. It’s true enough that with his dry wit and nonsense humor, he could have been the comedian— not me. And when it comes to having wretched sinuses, filled with polyps and easily triggered allergies by pollen and animals, I inherited his bad qualities along with his good

How I Got Football Banned From A Middle School Field Trip
February 13, 2023
Okay, okay… this title is a little misleading. I didn’t intentionally get football banned from a field trip, but often misleading titles are a way to draw a reader in. It wasn’t like I lobbied for it. It was an accident. Where I grew up on Long Island, middler schoolers had an opportunity to go

Texture Over Taste
February 12, 2023
When it comes to food, we all have our preferences. For the most part, I have a pretty sophisticated palate. And while there’s nothing wrong with having a simple palate, I consider an adult “chicken finger kid,” as someone who is not that intelligent and/or lacks culture.

A Woman Obsessed (with dishes)
January 31, 2023
In just five days in Florida at my parents house, we must have had at least 42 conversations about dishes. By the second time we had the dish conversation, I was over it, but I knew the saga would not end. It all started when my Mom decided that her dish set, a cherry bloom

Apocalypse Thoughts
January 27, 2023
It’s hard to say when I first started planning for the end of days, because once it starts, it really just doesn’t stop. I even remember being a kid in church and imagining the priest suddenly turning into a zombie, and then carnage begins and I would look around the church at all the things

Computer Confusion
January 18, 2023
Surely, you’ve heard of muscle confusion. If you haven’t, you’re probably in dire need of a work out. Let me enlighten you. The internet defines muscle confusion as: “this theory claims that confused muscles, exposed to changing workouts, gain more size and strength than complacent muscles cycling through the same routines, even if people are

The Ghost In The Hall
January 8, 2023
It’s November 2022, Paris. I’m staying in a quaint small hotel in the eclectic 2nd arrondissement. An old building… like everything in this city. [Going up the stairs of Hotel de Nice] [My room] [The view out the skylight] [An old photo of the hotel] If you recall, I had traveled to France solo. Since

Agoraphobia
January 8, 2023
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder that often develops after one or more panic attacks. Symptoms include fear and avoidance of places and situations that might cause feelings of panic, entrapment, helplessness, or embarrassment. Treatment can help, but this condition cannot be cured. This is the medical definition of agoraphobia, though I might disagree with science

I Have Bad Dreams Too
January 4, 2023
I wake up on my sisters couch, to my niece practically on top of me staring at me. She had fallen asleep snuggling with me. I moved her but she woke in the middle of the night and crawled back next to me. “You have to sleep next to me every night,” she says, “because
