I have always been a goal oriented person. Even as a kid, I had goals. My very first church league basketball game, my goal was to slam dunk on the six foot goal. It seemed probable: I was already 5′ and I had seen Michael Jordan do it, so how hard could it be? IContinue reading “Set Your Goals”

I’m going to be really honest. Things aren’t great right now, but I am hopeful that things will get better. I have to be. I’m saddened and so upset about what is going on in the White House. It all feels overwhelming and like I can’t affect any change. Outside of politics, there are aContinue reading “Wait”

I didn’t know I was competitive until I started exercising regularly and doing stand up more frequently. Growing up, my little sister always wanted to make mundane activities a competition: who can put on their seat belt the fastest, who could swing the highest, who could run the fastest…and I frankly didn’t care about winningContinue reading “Winning or Losing?”

I love going out of town and leaving daily life behind. Frankly, who doesn’t. I love exploring a new place and trying all of the food. Yeah… most people feel that way. I certainly felt like I was overdue for a vacation, like my engine has been running on fumes and it was time for anContinue reading “Buffalo Wings of the Ocean”

Have you ever felt like you are just waiting? Like waiting in line for a ride but when you turn the corner there’s another whole warehouse of lines to wait in? I have been feeling that way since the second week of October. I started getting migraine headaches that was later coupled with an earContinue reading “It’s been a while…”

I am so over September. Last weekend, I was in a friends wedding up in the mountains after a week full of shows. I had my “public” face on for a whole month it seemed like. If you’re not sure what I mean by public face, I mean that alert, self-aware, poised, polite self thatContinue reading “Indoor Wing Fest”

Lately, I have been repeating the same theme over and over, ” Once this month is over…” Once May is over… Once June is over…Once July is over… Once August is over… Once September is over… I am trying to get though this challenging time by looking forward to things easing up. My life feelsContinue reading “HOTTEST Wings”

As most of you have read on here, or heard my stand up, or happen to be my friend, or hopefully all three, I have a long trail of men I have left bloody and heartbroken. I think I have dated most archetypes of guys and had some really horrible dates that typically ended inContinue reading “Mushy Wings”

This past weekend was one of the most relaxing ones I have had in a long time. Friday night, my comedy buddy Ian and I met up for wings. His husband was out of town and my boyfriend was as well so it was a great excuse for wings and comedy. We went to WorldContinue reading “Down the Street”

Gratitude has been hard to find lately. People expressing their gratitude feels like it rarely happens. In stand up comedy, you are an island. Your drive, your willingness to push comes from inside. You cannot rely on others (except for applause and laughter from a crowd) to lift you up. So when someone does encourageContinue reading “Gratitude”
