All This is That: June 2015
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Music Coffee. Food. Monday, June 22, 2015. A farewell to my adoptive state. A farewell to my adoptive state. I don’t think it’s worth rehashing how we ended up in the geographically centered state known as Kansas, but here we are. And in a month, a five year relationship will be dust in the godforsaken two thousand mile an hour wind that greets me everyday when I step outside my door. Having come from the land of Fed Pen Governors, I knew a thing or two about toxic leadership. So I tried to go in wit...

All This is That: With this ring, I thee ruin a friendship
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2015/07/liar-liar.html
Music Coffee. Food. Thursday, July 9, 2015. With this ring, I thee ruin a friendship. For the better part of the day I’ve been struggling with trying to find a topic to blog about. Normally, something on social media (Twitter usually) would spark my interest and send me on a tangent, but today it just wasn’t happening. So I just spent some time tweeting at Cinnabon. Picture a young, scrawnier version of Chris Rock. That was Keith. I know this was Lana’s (not her real name) way of getting a laugh at...

All This is That: November 2014
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Music Coffee. Food. Monday, November 24, 2014. But before that could happen, 2009 happened: the year that we lost everything. Jobs, cars, condo, livelihood. And health insurance. Suddenly, with new problems on the table- such as, how are we going to feed ourselves today? The thought of bringing new life into the world seemed like a distant concern. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). All This is That. This is where I ramble on when people I'm telling stories to prefer to watch the tv instead of listen. You Reall...

All This is That: February 2015
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Music Coffee. Food. Thursday, February 12, 2015. Yeah, words do hurt. You’re gonna hafta wear a lot of makeup when you get older! Two things: first, yes, I come from a family where bad skin is hereditary. My father struggled with acne, his sister (my aunt) struggled, and so on. It’s a part of my life that I was more or less blessed with. So I was well aware of my skin issues. Second, did I mention I was a middle school girl at this point? Bottom line: watch what the fuck you say to people, yeah? I know t...

All This is That: July 2015
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Music Coffee. Food. Thursday, July 23, 2015. I was 17 when I watched someone die in front of my eyes for the first (and hopefully only) time. I didn’t hear the gunshots that late summer night- the summer before I left for college. I’d been listening to gunshots outside my bedroom window for over a decade. If any sleep was to had, you learned to tune them out. The three of us moved to the living room, wondering who- the what wasn’t even a question anymore. We sat on the porch for another five-ten minutes ...

All This is That: May 2014
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Music Coffee. Food. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. The beginning of a (culturally different) beautiful friendship. She also had a very LOUD laugh and explained that that's how you show respect to a person and show them that you are enjoying their company: by being as animated as possible. When you made her laugh, the entire room knew that she was having a good time. And it in turn affected the rest of us and made us feel giddy and happy. This was amplified when beer was involved (see above). Friday, May 16, 2014.

All This is That: I survived eight years of marriage and all I got was this awesome husband
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2015/07/damn-im-old.html
Music Coffee. Food. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. I survived eight years of marriage and all I got was this awesome husband. Yesterday was my 8th wedding anniversary. And for 90% of the day, everything was just shitty. Spoiler alert: we made it. I guess this is growing up. Here’s to eight years of happiness and the occasional nagging. I look forward to many more (years of nagging Halbastram, that is; I enjoy that the most). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). All This is That. I'm Tiny Elvis. The only peo...

All This is That: My music, my savior
http://tinyescrabblequeen.blogspot.com/2015/07/let-the-music-play.html
Music Coffee. Food. Thursday, July 23, 2015. My music, my savior. This morning I decided to dig it out and shuffle play my 25 Top Plays playlist to reminisce and see if the songs mean the same thing to me now as they did five years ago. In order, according to iTunes):. The Rain, the Park and Other Things- The Cowsills (100 plays). Carol Brown- Flight of the Conchords. Rambling through the Avenues of Time- Flight of the Conchords. Love Like a Sunset, Pt. 2- Phoenix. More, More, More- Rachel Stevens. Some ...
