While it has been a whopping 5 months since I have had a sleepwalking episode (thanks Whole30!), I still sometimes talk and spew nonsense in my sleep. Much to my husband’s delight. A few weeks ago this sleeptalking episode occurred: Me: Isaac, wake up. (shoving him awake) Isaac: What? Me: You need to go to…
I saw her photos on Instagram and was immediately drawn to them. We had a lot in common, it seemed. We both owned chocolate labradoodles, had anaphylactic allergies, and lived in the Carolinas. The more I got to “know” Brynn Duncan, however, I realized that while we did have things in common, our lives were…
That moment you suddenly regret bringing “magnetic poetry” to work so coworkers can have fun making silly sentences on the community refrigerator. Ish just got real.
Something strange has happened. My dreams, they have always been an anomaly to me, and to those around me. For as long as I can remember they have been filled with mass murderers, giant spiders, evil guinea pigs, mysterious women living under my bed, and an assortment of other terrifying subjects. I do have pleasant…
My sleep walking and night terrors generally involve screaming about spiders, home intruders, or the mystery woman who lives under the bed.

I bet the title of this post made you think WTF? It’s fitting, as my sleep walking and talking lately has also made me think WTF? Two nights ago, I passed out on the couch while Isaac and I were watching The Daily Show. Not sure how I could fall asleep while one of the…
Isaac: Do you remember how demanding you were in your sleep last night? Me: No, was I? Isaac: Yeah, I came upstairs and you sat up and said “GET IN BED NOW” really angrily. It was so scary that I immediately got in bed.
In the past few months, my sleepwalking has been almost non-existent! I have no idea why. I seem to go through phases where I’ll sleepwalk every night for weeks, and then suddenly stop for a certain period of time. A few nights ago, I broke my “stay in bed and sleep like a normal human…
Isaac and I don’t fight a lot, we got that out early on in our relationship. Even then, we never went at it the way I have with past boyfriends. The reason is probably because at the beginning when we would disagree about something and I would start to BLOW UP at him (it was…
One week ago, I went to my doctor to see if she could offer me any help with this persistent rash I’ve had around my mouth for 8 months now. Some days it is barely noticeable and others it looks like I have a goatee made of acne and eczema. Sexy, right? I thought so,…
