“Toxic people will not be changed by the alchemy of your kindness. Yes, be kind, but move on swiftly and let life be their educator” - Brendan Burchard

So…. I’ve been in here for a few years. I’m getting older and going gray. Here’s the most recent pic of me ( a couple of weeks ago). No filters, no bullshit. Just a 47 year old gal feeling ok with a good angle & makeup. I am debating bangs again to cover my gigantic forehead.

Whoa… the amount of fire works going off now is insane. Also, my dogs are insane as a result. I guess I’ll have wine.

Yes! We Wisconsinites are all about the Brew Crew tonight, but don’t forget that October is breast cancer awareness month. I had the boob smash a couple of weeks ago and all is copacetic. Men should pay attention too. Pink is for everyone!

An oldie, but a goodie… just in time for Halloween… as EJ likes to say… she’s an angel and the rest of us are clowns….

Throwback to when I was a young artist with Nashville Opera company. If y’all can’t spot the tenor based on posture, y’all don’t know opera 😅. (Also- bootleg jeans were a thing-apparently 🤦🏻‍♀️).

EJ and I backstage at the opera before a performance. We all know that she’s gonna walk again and be on that stage!!!!!

When Dad passed, the last thing I said was “love you more”. When my Mom passed, the last thing we both said was “love U more”. When EJ got into her accident, we were in an argument. To the ones that you love, It’s so futile to fight. I’m lucky to say: “love you more”. To her. & U

Heyyyooo! Just an update.. EJ got sutures out of her leg so she can wash that stinky thing!. Ultimately it was 35 bones broken. 15 in her spine along ten vertebrae. She is a bad ass and a very lucky lady; long road ahead. I cry for relief. This could have been worse. Xoxo

Passed the online Red Cross CPR/first aid test. I’m not a great technology person, but I did it. Tomorrow I get officially certified in CPR with the dummies. Guess I’ll see a few of you there?

Leaving my sister’s rehab facility. She might get to go home today!!

Identity theft is so exhausting. I tried to get my sister something to send to the hospital and now someone is spending $118 at a Cracker Barrel in TN and $48 at a Panda Express in KY. I can’t handle the evil in this world. I’m just 😞

I’m heading to the hospital with Jimmy John’s and donuts. The fact that my sister is talking and fully lucid and will walk again is a miracle considering this is her car. Made me cry seeing this. So lucky.

Update: EJ’s surgery went well. Couple plates and screws in the clavicle, one screw in the foot, two perc pins in the hand, & a long plate with several screws in the tibia. She’ll eventually transfer to an inpatient rehab center. Sry if I don’t reply much as a lot is going on. 🩷

Update. I’m headed to the hospital again. Erin’s surgery was bumped to 8am tomorrow morning. She will have 5 surgeries at once: her clavicle, tibia, knee, hand and foot. Dr. Says it will be at least 5 hours. She got some rest last night. Thank you for all your positive vibes.🫶🏼🫶🏼

I’m not on facebook. This is about my sister. Is anyone able to find out who the bystanders were that pulled my sister out of the vehicle? She was pulled out of her burning car by a woman that she recalls? My sister was asking about them.

My sister was also trapped in her vehicle as it was on fire and a bystander pulled her out of the car. We are still looking for the woman that pulled her out.

EJ is gonna have a long road ahead. Possible surgery tomorrow. Just send good vibes if you can.

My sister was in a bad car accident today; fractured her skull(near the cervical) also her spine multiple places; broke her back at L4, broke her tibia, clavicle, foot, toe, ribs, and the seatbelt did a number. Airbags saved her life. She will need many surgeries. Send vibes plz
