“What do you do for fun?” “What are your hobbies?” We all get asked that from time to time. It’s a common question when meeting someone for the first time. It can come up at a job interview. People seem to be especially curious how I spend my time when they find out my child is a black cat… Read more »
More and more lately it’s tempting to just stay off the internet entirely. Facebook posts turn into political arguments. If your email inbox isn’t full of spam or bill reminders it’s its full of urban legends still being circulated by older family members years after being debunked. The internet was supposed to be this amazing place for learning and connecting, not… Read more »
Yes, it’s true. I did develop a “habit” while I was in Vegas that I need to feed even now when I’m back home. My husband is stunned, as is most anyone who knows me when they hear about my strange new cravings. I’m addicted to Fiji water. I’ve become obsessed with it. I’ve liked them on Facebook and I’m… Read more »
When it comes to guys, I definitely have a type. In the course of my life I’ve managed to date/ marry / be attracted to a series of men than can be mostly described as stocky, dark haired, possessing a larger than average vocabulary, some degree of musical ability, and active interest – if not participation in- politics. Bonus points if… Read more »
I’m pretty low maintenance as women go. I’m not a fan of large diamonds or other gems. I dress to look nice, but comfort comes first- in clothing and shoes.

However, through trial and error, reading approximately 3 million articles on the subject, and through my awesome… Read more »
As I’m sure you are aware, yesterday was Mother’s Day. And as I’m also sure you know, I do not have any children by choice. Yes I have cats and yes I do say I’m their mom, but I do know there is a huge difference between the care and feeding of a small cat and the care and… Read more »
I’m currently recovering from gallbladder surgery that I had last Thursday. I am feeling better every day but I’m still certainly feeling the effects. So, while there are all kind of thoughts bouncing around in my head, I’m currently lacking the ability to make them line up in coherent fashion. I hope you return to our normal posting schedule next… Read more »
Tuesday April 5th is a big deal in my world. It is mine and my husband Pat’s 10th anniversary! He picked the wedding date- it was 04-05-06. He is so clever! I am embarrassed to admit that I could not find a photo on my laptop from our actual wedding day, but this photo was taken not long afterwards and… Read more »
I’ve observed that at one point or another most women eventually get off the fashion train. They get to a place where they know what works for them and stay with it regardless of what’s “in style” for years. The only place to go after that is that fashion graveyard known as the “old lady” section of the department store…. Read more »
