Relationship Status: It’s Complicated

Christine Knapp March 2, 2017

That cat right there, the one peering into your very soul, that’s Jojo and Jojo is a jerk. I doubt you looked at that photo and decided otherwise, but I felt I had to make it really, really clear how much of an ass our cat …

Mom Would Have Been Eighty-Seven Today

Christine Knapp February 28, 2017

One day, somewhere around the tender age of 11, I came sobbing to my mother. I was broken. I couldn’t take what was being done to me anymore. I needed someone to fix the mess I was in. Through heaves and wails I explained to my …

I’ve Been Recognized

Christine Knapp February 24, 2017

  Imagine the pleasant surprise I had when Riddle from the Middle visited my humble little blog to give me an award.  It really made up for the fact that I accidentally threw a pile of my husband’s mail into the garbage. Now, normally, that wouldn’t be …

A Wallow Will Do You Good

Christine Knapp February 20, 2017

Even My Relationship With Whole Foods Is Dysfunctional

Christine Knapp February 8, 2017

I was born the sixth child of two strict, Irish Catholic, depression era parents, one of whom was blind in one eye and had two different sized feet. If you don’t come out of that deal with a few personality quirks then you are just plain …

Trash TV Will Cure What Ails Ya

Christine Knapp February 6, 2017

Like any good middle aged broad, I have back problems. Sometimes the pain happens when I push myself too hard physically and sometimes it comes on when I’m in the shower shaving my legs.  It’s that kind of spontaneity that makes life exciting!  I wish I …

Humanity Might Want to Consider a Social Media Detox

Christine Knapp February 1, 2017

If you are one of the approximately half dozen friends that I guilted into reading this piece then you know that I was recently sick for a decent chunk of time. Were you the type of person that finds hot flashes, dizzy spells, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, …
