I am frequently told that I do not look my age. I do wonder if this is partly because I don’t ACT my age, but to be fair I’ve never been 52 before. But it is true that people usually guess my age around 10 years younger than I actually am. So today I’m going to share my secrets for… Read more »
I had a super fun, super busy weekend after a long and stressful week of work. I did not plan ahead very well, so I don’t have anything on deck ready to go.

My husband Pat and I spent a few days in Miami at the end of June. We hit up an autograph show, we spent time with old friends, made new ones, and took in the sights. We had a great time! I was looking for just a nice getaway, and it was that for sure. But it turned out… Read more »
With a VERY few exceptions I hate shopping. I don’t mind grocery shopping and I’ll never turn down a trip to Ulta. But after that it tapers off pretty quickly. I don’t like shoe shopping.

Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m just a buzzkill. I recently had a birthday. I got grief for not making a big deal out of this. It wasn’t a big, round number- I turned 52. Not a big deal. I honestly forgot about it until the night before. No, I’m not trying to deny I’m getting older. It’s obvious when I… Read more »
