Random Quote

Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.

Truth. My memories from my 37th time seeing Heart (ok, that number is made up, but I’ve loved them for 33 years and I lost count ) ... right before the show Janine asked me if Heart was the band at the end of Bridesmaids (that would be Wilson Phillips, and no they weren’t in Bridesmaids, but you’re still pretty Janine 😘), Aunt Mary, the woman sitting next to us who brought her niece to the show, told me I look just like Courtney Cox (and now I love Aunt Mary), the woman in the bathroom line who told me I look just like Kathleen. (Who is Kathleen? No clue, but I’m guessing she looks just like Courtney Cox), and I missed a very large portion of These Dreams because the woman in front of me asked me to video her and her friend dancing because she’s dying and they’ve been friends since they were 12 and Heart is really special to them ... I also took several more videos for her during the remainder of the show because how could I not? She reminded me to savor the moments, big and small, and even if time isn’t always on our side, we can still dance, laugh and sing along while we’re still here. So, thank you for that, lady with the really deep voice whose name I don’t know, this show was one I won’t soon forget and I hope the videos don’t suck. #annandnancywilson #heart When all you want is 5 min away from the dog and you get busted hiding in a box you don’t remotely fit in. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ififitsisits #winslow It’s National Deaf Awareness Week and though, thankfully, I’m only half deaf, I thought it might be fun to share some helpful tips on how to coexist with hearing impaired individuals like myself, so here goes ... 1) If I ask you to repeat your question or statement, please repeat it by speaking clearly while looking in my direction. Speaking slower while yelling doesn’t make me understand you any better, however it does make me think you’re a giant dick, so congrats on accomplishing that. ... 2) When you say something dumb and I give you a blank stare, chances are I heard you, I’m just pretending I didn’t because I’m embarrassed for you and I’m choosing not to acknowledge your idiocracy. (And, you’re welcome.) ... 3) When I say “huh” and you get annoyed and say “oh, just forget it” just imagine how irritating it might be to listen to the teacher from The Peanuts ramble on (because that’s how your malfunctioning hearing vestibule interprets sound) only to stop before the story gets good because you didn’t catch that last part and they can’t be bothered to repeat themselves to help you better understand why they cussed out the mailman for ???. Yeah, who’s annoyed now? ... 4) If you whisper something behind me, please be careful what you say. My hearing aids can pick up a mouse fart, and I don’t care if you don’t like my tattoos, I didn’t ask for your opinion. ... 5) Just because I’m half deaf doesn’t mean you need to turn up the TV, the radio or any other noise making device because you think I can’t hear it or won’t find it annoying. Even the hearing impaired enjoy silence sometimes and, believe it or not, we are highly sensitive to certain sounds... like your voice when you think you can sing like Adele, but you really can’t. It’s ok though, tone deafness is also a disability, so I don’t judge. 😊👂❤️ #deafawareness #hearinglossawareness #canyouhearmenow We scored some cool purple hats this morning, but don’t worry folks, we’re still Badger fans at heart. It feels like the end of an era for our annual Amazing Looks photo shoot ... we’ve met some incredible people along the way and worked with some of the best this city has to offer ... and it’s all thanks to this guy right here. Thank you for everything Bjorn, you put the A in our amazing! #amazinggoodwill
