Have you watched the movie SEVEN? If so you know the line, “What’s in the box… WHAT’S IN THE BOX?” What an amazing scene. Pitt and Freeman, Freeman and Pitt… brilliant, amazing, believable. They’re top notch actors for real. We tend to reenact that scene every time the AMAZON or […]
Dear Covid, a short message from 2020. Love, thatgirljen
It’s been more than a while since I’ve posted on thatgirljen. When Covid-19 spread across the globe, much of the world stopped in its tracks. Priorities shifted as things changed and life was re-evaluated. With all the influx of conflicting information, it’s been the blind leading the deaf. No one […]
What’s happening in April 2020
It’s 2020, and April is not what I planned it to be. It’s not what ANY of us planned for. But we’re doing fine for now. One would think it’s been a long going joke, this self mandated stay home isolation / self imposed quarantine, but it’s not… this is […]
the 80’s were AWESOME!
I grew up in the 80’s – spent my teenage years in probably one of the most creative and cool decades. Between the music and the fashion, I’m so fortunate to have experienced it firsthand. Now I also have a fondness for the 1880’s… the clothing and societal changes that […]
Holy Sunday Batman!
YEAH , YEAH, I KNOW… I’M 2 DAYS LATE! Words like this could make a wee girl’s head spin, throat in heart, and stomach drop, but no I’m not pregnant, it’s not that kind of “late” you see. I just have been kinda bad with keeping up with posting every […]
Dear Diary, it’s Saturday.

Breaking up with your closet.
Ever stare at the clothes hanging in your closet or folded in your dresser drawers and say out loud to yourself, “I have nothing to wear!” Yeah, me too… When this happens, it might be time to break up; and I’ve done this a few times over the years, however […]
Ringing in the 2020’s
So let’s be honest with myself… around the time the kiddo got “back to school” in August 2019, I shifted my energies to that and COMPLETELY dropped the ball here. I’ve been busy and lazy and everything in-between. Life, happens. This post will simply be a short recap of the […]
Veterans Day
I’ve been busy, homeschooling the kiddo- and well, most days we’ve been rather busy with schooling, outings, extra curricular and social engagements. What does this have to do with Veteran’s Day? Simply put, in America I’m free to educate my child in a manner I deem correct. I source our […]
there’s no title here
sometimes I write what I believe are introspective posts just for my personal consumption. I only publish them for the sake of knowing that I’m blogging on a consistent basis; sometimes there’s not really a reason to title something. this is one of those posts. it’s Saturday, my lazy day. […]
