I’m assuming since you’re here that you, too, are a fan of The Magicians. I’m also assuming that, like me, you are having The Feelings about THAT DEATH on The Magicians Season 4 finale. 24 hours later and I’m still just…not okay. Grieving over TV show characters is weird, but don’t judge me. Fair warning….

That Time I Was on The Ellen Show with Kristen Bell
Hi. Hello. How are you? I am one million miles above the earth right now and orbiting The Great Beyond because Kristen Bell and I are practically BFFs. Earlier this year, I attended the Mom 2.0 Summit, an annual conference I will likely never miss even if I only write on this blog 3 times…

Persistence: My 2018 Word of the Year
2017 tried to kill me. I mean, it really did. Job loss, a blood clot, pulmonary emboli, finding an amazing new job, nearly losing that job, co-pays, stress, anxiety, depression. At some point, the motto for 2017 became “just survive somehow.” Toward the end of the year, however, things started looking bright. Super bright. Some…

About a week ago, I asked Facebook if I should binge watch The Magicians or Westworld. It was pretty neck-and-neck with responses, but I opted for The Magicians since there were only two seasons and The Magicians Season 3 started this week. This series is Harry Potter on crack.

Me too.
I was 20. Maybe 22. I can’t remember. Parts of this are fuzzy, the kind of blur that comes from years of separation between The Moment and The Memory. I was working at the bank. I’d managed to get myself up to assistant head teller status. We had some overflow and understaffing between our two…
