Seriously U R Kidding
Heartfelt, humorous, and cynical narratives written by an almost famous blogger Tracy Gains.
Once upon a time… I was born. went to college. met Gary. three kids. Blah Blah Blah happily ever after…The End. Riveting right? Well, of course, I have a blog! Oh, the mesmerizing milestones that have unraveled in my life story cease to amaze! As early as the age of 15 or 16, I kept a …
It must be with great wonderment to you as to how in the world she has the time to write a blog when she has thousands and thousands of “Almost Famous” cheese wafers to bake. It is an issue yet so are the Holidays. You know I’ve gotta throw out a few thoughts about this meaningful and most …
It seems only logical for me to write a big ol blog today about MelaNoMo! I mean, after all, we just wrapped up our 10th and final fundraiser and I could not be prouder. R U kidding…we raised a boatload of money! That is the power of begging! Proud! Happy! And done! But honestly, I’m not …
I was reluctantly packing up a few mornings ago to return from a month long beach a thon, when my friend and my usual roomie Sue asked me, “Does this mean summer is over?” As I was rummaging through my belongings, my wearied brain began reflecting… “Yep”, I said…”I think this sweltering summer may be …
Prologue We have been traveling with David and Gail Chester for almost half of a century, and it isn’t because we want to…(wink) it’s because Gary and Gail happen to be brother and sister. (more like clones…but later on that) We were married 3 months apart 42 years ago and have been friends ever since. …
I was a terrible “Soccer Mom”. Just ask my kids. It wasn’t uncommon to find me sitting in my car at my son’s baseball games…hey, don’t judge…too cold, but everyone deserves a second chance in life, so…here I go again. The Grand kids ball games have begun, and I’m wondering….do …
When I started my blog I had no idea where I was going with it. (Umm… acutely apparent!) All I knew, in the spring of 2015, that it was important to me to share my prolific stories about this craziness we call life from a Mrs., a Mom, and a Gracy’s perspective. It’s difficult to …
Footloose and fancy free…well that’s not exactly me! I aspire to be a free spirit and adventurous like my friend Susan. Susan is hiking to the base camp of Mt. Everest (as we speak). We can all concur that this is not the same struggle I encounter when walking up Whiteside Mountain in Highlands, …
I have always had an insane passion for roller coasters. Not just as a child…I would leap right on one right now. Oh crap, never mind, I’m already in…with my hands lifted high in the sky! You know how they start out unhurried and deliberate… shuffling slowly as if postponing to reach the clouds. Then …
I got a call from a friend not so long ago and she asked me if I would be interested in working for her at the store. My first thought was WORK…(insert screaming emoji here…and a million plus explanation points!!!) How in the hell, I mean WHY in the hell would I go back to …
I bought a bathing suit. I guarantee you I did not intend this tragedy to happen, but there is a slight possibility I will have to wedge into one this summer in order to swim, and I’m afraid there is no alternative to this brutal situation. (for those who may witness this obscene spectacle…I profusely …
The wizometer and I have major issues. I can see outside just fine and I prefer to judge the day on my own terms. “It’s an 11”, they declare, “and sunny”! I hear you, but it’s Sunday, and the Master’s is on. 11 Alive is insisting I go outside! I was informed what to wear …
