a/k/a
actress Madeline Kahn.
= = =
I am convinced
that Madeline Kahn
was a perimenopausal mother
wrangling a teen daughter
when she improvised
this epic
iconic
vivid
one-liner.
I won't be
explaining further,
nor will I be
taking questions.
Poet, writer, photographer and slightly distracted day-dreamer who muses on (gestures at everything) from the petty to the profound. On a semi-serious, fully earnest search for meaning in the mayhem. Perimenopausal, melanin-deprived, irony-enhanced recovering perfectionist Type A+ millennial woman. She balances the ever-continuing quest to Know Better/Do Better, with the distinct ego-death of parenting a smart, full-throated child who was raised to know the power of her voice. Mothering a teen means catching a side-eye in almost every interaction. Diana navigates the minutiae of everyday life through seeking the magical in the mundane. Follow along and laugh with her as the world flames out!
