5 Podcasts: Transgender and LGBTQIA

November 13, 2018 holley4734 2 Comments

Originally, this was going to be a list of marijuana-related podcasts. For now, the pot podcasts are going to be on the back burner. 😉 The subjects of what it means to be transgender and to be gay have been topics at my house lately. I can’t be the only one with inquisitive kids. Who wants to be the parent that doesn’t have any answers? Not me. I don’t know what it means to be transgender or gay exactly. Technically, yes. I understand definitions. Really, I have no idea what to say. So I thought doing some research on transgender podcasts would be helpful. It’s a starting point at least. Some of the podcasts might be interesting to you as well.

This mom, Marlo Mack, rocks. She does the podcast with her young transgender daughter. They are just trying to figure it out together. Mack also has a blog over here: https://gendermom.wordpress.com/

2. The Gender Rebels https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/httpgenderrebelspodbeancomfeed/the-gender-rebels/e/51638508

They have the answers to questions you didn’t even know you had about transgender issues.

weekend coffee share: i’m lazy and a little crazy edition

June 17, 2017 holley4734 4 Comments

If we were having coffee, I would tell you that

it’s hot. I’m ok with being hot but my coffee is not.
I quit my job again. I’ve also been struggling with how to put that on job applications. People frown upon it when you say, “I hated it. My boss was a bitch.” It’s the truth but people don’t want to hire people that say it out loud.
So I’ve been blogging more, hanging out with the kids and being poor. Plus, Netflix. Lots of Netflix.
I got through the current season of Orange is the New Black, all five seasons of Breaking Bad, most of The Keepers, a few episodes of the Queen of the South.
Honestly, it has been worth being broke to drive my kids around to band and tennis. The struggle to get my younger two off of their iPads is a real thing. I read an article that said iPads and tablets are like cocaine to kids. I believe it completely.
ChoreMonster is the best app in the world. Whatever gets my kids to do something besides play Minecraft is my favorite. If you’re a parent, you should look into it.
At the moment, my kids are at their grandma’s house getting spoiled and not doing any chores or reading any books.
My oldest kid brought her bunny over for a few weeks. I’ve been feeding him and trying to keep the cat away. There may have been a picture or two taken.
I’ve been on Pinterest a lot.

I made a Jason Momoa board.
Here it is.

I’ve done a few reviews. Visit my review page to see what’s new.

My hair was out of control. I was starting to look like Mario Lopez but not as handsome. Still, better than Screech. There was this curly mohawk mullet thing going on. So I got a haircut.

I finally got another job. My prediction is that it will be boring. It’s fine. If boring pays the bills, then boring is fine.
The plan besides work is to keep reading books, keep doing stuff like exercising, scrapbooking, blogging and creative stuff. It’s difficult to maintain a balance sometimes. What else am I going to do?
My boyfriend will appreciate it if I find a new place for the scrapbook stuff. (It’s probably not happening anytime soon. If I put it away, then I won’t finish it ever.)
What have you guys been doing?

I was almost too lazy to post the link.

Who Do You Trust? #NaBloPoMo

September 13, 2016 holley4734 2 Comments

Do you have people whose opinion you trust implicitly?

trust

In real life, I trust about ten people. In the internet world, there are maybe five bloggers that I trust.

When it involves babysitting, there are about three people on the list – who are already on the top ten list.

I used to trust everybody. I thought that everyone told the truth. Trusting people didn’t work out so well.People lie all of the time.

Even my kids lie when asked about the whereabouts of my tweezers. The tweezers reappeared yesterday after a few weeks of asking who has the tweezers. They were under a set of shelves. It wasn’t who the child that I thought would steal my tweezers.

So here we are . . . a regular Debbie Doubter with out of control eyebrows.
