La Ignorancia es atrevida

Mucha gente no entiende que su punto de vista tiene *blindspots*. Llevo gran parte de mi vida disecando las contestaciones que me dan y las que doy y no puedo negar que la asimetria de informacion es monumental. La gente no tan solo tiran la piedra y esconden la mano; tienden a creer que estaban […]

Layoff Mrs Enginerd

Happy Third Anniversaire MrsEnginerd!

This labor of love started as a coping mechanism during The Layoff. The year 2015 was ripe with possibilities. My severance package allowed for a much deserved sabbatical after 10 uninterrupted years of service as a design engineer. In theory, this experience as an engineer would open any door I chose to unlock but I […]

Reasons

All you need is a reason to hope, To love, To dream, To be grateful for the calm after the storm. All you need is a reason to despair, To hate, To doubt, To believe you don’t deserve happiness. All you need is a reason to trust, To see the good in others, To know […]

The Wedding: Take Two – The Ceremony

This year marks the 10th anniversary of my wedding to W. As part of the celebration, I will be documenting our relationship from the proposal up to the wedding, and each year up to our 10th anniversary. I’m going to be honest. The wedding was the party of the decade, if not the century, for […]

LA to Vegas (Fox)

The first time I saw this show it reminded me of Airline, the TV reality series from A&E about Southwest Airlines, but instead of the drama of unruly passengers, Jackpot Airlines handles the ups and downs of air travel by mailing it in. A parody of an industry that relies on customer service but really […]

Need help raising funds and spreading the word

Zach’s campaing has stalled a bit. Can you help him spread the word? He has been bummed out because the extra repair costs for drainage and erosion control will delay the yard landscaping a few months if we can’t get to at least $1000. 😦 Any amount helps!! via Zach’s Field of Dreams

The Music in Your Scars

Words, lovely melody, pouring from your broken heart, Rising and lowering in pitch, perfectly tuned, as you walk the halls of a world uncertain. Lightning crashes, and the beat turns tempestuous, violent, unnerving, Yet the song never wavers. The vocals add a touch of gravity to match the situation. Shakily, steadily, emotionally gripping notes sour, […]

Leaving it Better Than We Found It

The rental property is about to hit the market and we are expecting enough of a payout to duplicate our investment. This will be enough to recoup our savings and get out short term investment strategy back on its feet. At the rate we are going we will still make cash but it hasn’t come […]

Life’s Too Short To Not Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Yay*, Sad or Angry

A lot of registered users scroll through social media without ever giving any indication that they walk the halls of the world wide web. They look but they don’t engage as they scroll past photos and musings. Casually, I’ve had conversations about content I have posted on Facebook or Instagram but very few times have […]
