Having THAT Talk with my Parents about "Cock-Blocking"


I received a text message from my mom Friday afternoon that they were on their way to Austin and asked that I make reservations at Gloria's Latin Cuisine restaurant for 8:00 PM.

The problem was that I had a scheduled date with a young lady for Friday evening. I was planning on making dinner (my famous Chicken Piccatta) and watching season two of The Girlfriend Experience, which she introduced season one to me the previous weekend. Unfortunately, I had to cancel our date night.

Granted, my parents were concerned about how I was doing--I recently ended a year long relationship and currently dealing with a transition at my job. So, they wanted to check up on me and make sure I was doing okay. [Unbeknownst to them, I was doing quite well.]

I did have a talk with them about the challenges single parents with custody schedules deal with when dating. Perplexed, I further explained that when I have my son, I really can't go out. Similar, the other person can't date when they have their kids. What makes it challenging is that custody schedules may not match. And so when there is a date scheduled, we single parents jump on that opportunity.

I asked them that next time they give me a couple of days, at minimum, advanced noticed of a visit.

10 Years of Blogging


It's been 10 years since I posted my first blog entry. Well, actually, I've been blogging since 2005, but this was the first time I posted one of my photos publicly.

Art Found on Instagram - December 2017












10 | I used to have this strange fear that if I started painting, I would use up all my ideas, so I somehow I convinced myself it was better to "save" them or maybe not start at all. When I look back on what I've painted this year, I realized that there are actually so many things I still want to paint that it's almost overwhelming. . It doesn't mean that everything I want to paint is new or original. Rather, there are pieces that I have meant to revisit and try again for fun or for practice that I just haven't gotten back around to. Like this monochromatic floral painting. . So next time my mind is drawing a blank, I'll remember to thumb through some old paintings and see if there's anything I want to try again. It may sound a bit strange to revisit your own work for inspiration, but I think it's a reasonable place to look, don't you? 😬 #rl15of2017

Track 83: 1990 Music Mix


As a teenager, I was infatuated with Cathy Dennis. The redhead singer-songwriter shimmied, danced and sang in a fitted orange long-sleeve shirt and tight black pants in D-Mob's music video C'Mon And Get My Love.
