My husband and I just got back from Planet ComiCon in Kansas City. We had a great time! My husband collects all kinds of autographs from professional wrestlers to actors and musicians. I’m not as interested in the hobby as he is, but sometimes there is someone at these shows I do get excited to meet. And, happily, most of… Read more »
Today’s holiday gives me a bit of a chuckle. I don’t look like anyone in my family. When I was younger, one aunt and I looked quite a bit alike, but we don’t anymore. I look absolutely nothing like my sister. So I find it pretty funny when people tell me they know/ saw someone who looks “just like me”… Read more »
I will be the first to admit that I am not the least bit objective when it comes to Bon Jovi. I have been a HUGE fan since I was a teen. And while no one believes me, I actually fell in love with the music first- keep in mind in the mid 80s there was no internet! That being… Read more »
I don’t think there are many people who don’t know what a piano is. I’d say a lot of us even take them for granted. But today is the day to really celebrate this magnificent instrument. This one is extra special to me. I took piano lessons for 10 years as a child, so did my sister. The piano is… Read more »
Today is a fun one- for some of us anyway. Sometimes I feel a lot younger than 50. I still enjoy a lot of the same things I have in previous decades like Bon Jovi, pizza, and science shows like Mythbusters and How Its Made. I still get excited over Christmas. I still feel like I have a lot to… Read more »
It may feel like every day of the past 2 years has been this, but today is in fact National Panic Day. And there is certainly plenty to panic about. COVID is still alive and kicking. Russia invaded Ukraine. There are still supply chain issues impacting many industries. And I’m sure you can think of many more- I know I… Read more »
As you may or may not have noticed, I have been obsessing a bit about being 50 years old. It felt OK when it happened, but it’s gotten weirder (for lack of a better word) since. I recently had a doctor’s appointment and two things happened that further enforced the “you are getting old” theme. #1 I got scheduled not… Read more »
I know quite a few people who don’t watch the Olympics anymore. Many of them site the obvious corruption of the IOC as the reason why. Some people just don’t like winter sports. Some people just don’t watch sports in general. And I’m not here to debunk any of that, but rather to explain why I’ve been watching them the… Read more »
Jewelry. What every woman wants. Right? Of course not. But that’s what you’d think if you have been watching TV, picked up a newspaper or magazine, or even read a billboard or two while driving down the road. To be perfectly clear, I have nothing against jewelry. I own quite a bit, even though I don’t wear much of it… Read more »
