snowy morning / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrreeeedeeerrrlleeeedeeeee! You know what I never understand? And tell me if you agree, or even notice this. In books, why does the main character, or any character for that matter, always turn their phone off in a moment of stress or crisis? Like they turn their phones OFF. And I just don’t feel like people […]

plants and mirrors / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I mean BRRRRRRRR. (<–sorry) Okay, when was the last time you thought about a rabbit’s foot?! Like, not attached to the rabbit, that is. A keychain rabbit’s foot. A LUCKY CHARM. I’ve not thought about those since 1999 when I had a side part. What a weird thing those are! Were? Are? OMG, ARE? […]

lovely sky / bev cooks

Fridaaaaay! Okay, you can’t comment on this freaking blog anymore, I’m hearing. You guys, I am so sorry. I know the irony of asking you to give advice on a platform that’s not letting you, but I need help! I was on the phone with Godaddy yesterday for an hour and they were useless. AND […]

pretty plant in a rainy window / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrreederleedeeeee! Well we’re nine days into January. The new year. How are you all feeling? Motivated? Overwhelmed? Fresh? Anxious? A little giddy? A little rundown? Same. I don’t do resolutions. Never ever have. It’s too much pressure and they make me cranky. And I’m already perimenopausal so we’re simply having none of it. Don’t get […]

thanksgiving dinner / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrr! More like brrrrrrrrr! Am I right? Sorry. Awful. I’ll just dive into the heavy part of this post. We lost Charlie on Monday. Our beloved dog, who we’ve have for 18 entire years. We said goodbye to her Monday late afternoon at 4:22pm. She’d been sick-ish for a while. Nothing that we knew of […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrriday before Thanksgiviiiiiiiing! (<–I get excited about things.) Okay. I was doing Connections yesterday and I’m sorry but TOOTH PULP? What the hell is tooth pulp and why do those words ever need to be back to back? Ewwwww and I just looked it up and it’s the part that holds all the nerves, blood […]

fall trees / bev cooks

Frrrrrrreeeeeeeeennnnnnddeeeeeeeennnnnnnd! We have nothing this weekend. (!!) No plans. Nothing. Nada. At all. Zip. Zilch. No soccer. No football. NERTHRIN. Which means I plan to fill it up immediately. Ha! Oh. But in the ways that *I* want to. And one of those things I need your help on, because we’re going to brainstorm our […]

pumpkins and kids / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrappy Halloweeeeeen! Now listen. Before we go any further here today, we need to address a serious topic. A sensitive issue. I don’t like to bring it up just as much as the next Joe. But. It needs to be said. Here and now. The supreme Halloween candy is, and will always be a Snickers […]

pumpkins and hand / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriday! (<–didn’t see that coming, eh?) Okay, I’m surprised at the amount of people in my stories who don’t know what a Boo Bag is! Is this a regional thing? A midwest thing? There were a few messages from the New England area asking what the heck a boo bag is….what!! It’s just a bag […]
