I probably shouldn’t be driving. I’m not a great driver at the best of times, but when I have something pressing on my mind, all common sense seems to leave me. I’m running red lights. I forgot to stop at the stop sign two blocks back. …
If you need to know one thing about me, it is this: I love my name. My name is boss. To be clear, my name isn’t actually “boss,” which would be weird. But it is boss as in the slang (that dates back to the 1880s!), meaning super hip and…
Several years ago, my husband and I were small business owners. You all know that I’m sure, since you’re avid readers of my work and hang off my every word.

Typically when going out on my walks, I avoid these trails because, well…
I spent the better part of my walk this morning entertaining the idea of quitting all of my various jobs. Yes, I thought, I shall abandon all financial responsibilities and become a wandering vagrant — free from material stress and worries about making the man his almighty dollar.
Um. To…
The other day my eyeballs began hurting due to me rolling them so hard at the Walmart. I was rolling my eyes because the woman in front of me in the line at the register was taking forever. …
The first thing I noticed on my walk this morning was all of the shit on the sidewalk. Usually, dog shit — on the sidewalk or otherwise — wouldn’t phase me.
