  • Maxwell and I discuss the Golden Globes Nominations!

    To most people this is the holiday season, but to me, it's awards season, my favorite season of all.

    Merry Merry and enjoy. :)

    What happens when 2 funny ladies get together and chat?

    Well if you have listened to Contrary Gardens before, you know!

    But this is a new guest, a good friend of mine that cracks me up on the regular.

    Meet Mary.

    She's a hoot.

  • What did Mercury ever do to you? Also, my dirty car.
    When shit goes sideways, we blame Mercury being in retrograde. We have been doing this for a very long time.
    It's not Mercury. It's us.
    Accountability is a total boner killer, but it's the only way we are going to get unstuck.
    Also, why is my car so dirty and why isn't anyone coming over to wash it? See you at Fresh Market.

  • Puzzle Pieces

    This was another one of those weeks. 

    I am super glad you stopped by to hear what's rolling around in the old gray mare's brain.

    You look really pretty today. Or handsome. 

    Don't stay thirsty. That's stupid. Stay hydrated.

    love you!

  • Ian Changed His Mind, Tina Fey will save us, Pygmalion movies

    This week's topics include:

    Manatee County has once again dodged a bullet (a huge hurricane).

    Tina Fey has been fixing society for years, planting little seeds of change, watering them, trying, and we're just not paying attention. Well, I am. But are the rest of you? I mean, Jyna and Robin are, too, still, but what about YOU? Give credit where credit is due. When I say Tina Fey is my Jesus, it's not just her ability to write funny stuff.

    A small movie that came out in 1973 kicked off my Pygmalion obsession. 

    and so much more!

    love you. mare
