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 »
Believe it or not, today it Take your Houseplant for a Walk Day. Today is a day to, if you want, literally take your cactus or ivy with you for a stroll around the block.

Because I’m old, I’m still recovering from the trip my husband and I took 2 weeks ago to Vegas. It was an amazing trip and lots of people have asked what was the best part. That is a really hard question to answer because there were so many highlights! However, since so many people have asked, I’ve decided that I… 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.

Then one day, I’m sure thanks in large part to the TV show “The Big Bang… Read more »

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 »
Yes, today is International Chocolate day! I don’t think I have to tell you how to celebrate this!
Today is the 4th of July. It’s a day for fireworks, picnics and American flags everywhere. Everyone is proud to be an American today, no matter where your political beliefs land on the spectrum.
