Hot Mess Memoir is my blog for the perfectly imperfect. While some blogs are just about blogging or finding “your best you”, I’m like grab wine, shits ’bout to go down.
I’ve had this blog since 2016 and in 2017, I became self-hosted. Missing the reader community, I decided in January of 2019 to update my WordPress.com side of my blog and post the links going forward of every post I have on www.hotmessmemoir.com so that new readers could find me! So if it looks like I took a break from 2017-2019, I haven’t I have nearly a 1,000 posts on my self-hosted site! I’m just going to start adding here too!
About me, I’m 40-ish with a 10-year-old (who still loves me) and a 13-year-old (who thinks even the way I breath is embarassing). I’m married and Mr. Hot Mess is forced to put up with all my shenanigans and I can assure you, there are a lot of shenanigans.
But my blog isn’t for the easily offended. I use every four letter word in my arsenal and sometimes it’s often. I’m not above talking about sex toys on Groupon or having an adult meltdown via a post. I absolutely hate the elf on the shelf and I invent scenes such as on the left to take out my anger of having to move the fucking thing every night around Christmas.
Think of this place as the place you can come when you feel guilty about something (yet again) or had a bad day. I’d like to think of my blog as cotton candy for the brain. Or a glass of wine.
So to all the perfectly imperfect, welcome home! You’re home!
I LOVE your blog and wrote this about your guest post with Blair.
That was so funny! I have an alternative t-shirt. She could have one in green with Mullingar Heifer on it. Her colleagues will think she is really into livestock and not get that it is an Irish snarky phrase “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, she has legs like a Mullingar Heifer”. Stocky but has nice ankles. 🙂

First let me say thank you! I am so grateful that people enjoyed my story. It gives me a little shred of hope this current train wreck isn’t for nothing. Now, I have to know, where in God’s name do I get this shirt? You are right….so perfect! Do I need to raise funds to fly to Ireland for it? 🙂

Ha!!! That is awesome! Thank you for following. I love telling my stories and/or putting my perspective on things. I’m quickly finding I’m not the only hot mess in the world nor the only person that has dealt with some of my situations. Have a great Saturday Osyth!

Next time a repressed old cowboy aims his disapproval at you like a pitchfork, say, “Fuck, no, I’m never racy. Crotchless panties are just healthier in the summertime. You know, breathable.”
You were going to tear up the card anyway.
