Alright, where did I leave off? Oh! That’s right, I was telling you about my stepdad ‘Larry’. Larry joined our family when I was eight years old and things changed drastically the moment he married my mom. Larry was all about structure (Harry) and discipline (Mo) and rules (Larry the 2nd) and he didn’t wasteContinue reading “November 3, 2020 – One person can make all of the difference (PART TWO).”

November 2, 2020 – One person can make all of the difference (PART ONE).
Those of you that are reading this are probably thinking that I’m about to tell you at length about someone that really inspired me, that really motivated me, that really changed my life for the better. Sorry. As much as I would LOVE to do that, I’m afraid that’s a story to be told byContinue reading “November 2, 2020 – One person can make all of the difference (PART ONE).”
November 1, 2020 – A very follicular fable.
There’s nothing quite like sitting down at the table and plunging your fork into a nice, healthy portion of lasagna only to discover it’s got a secret ingredient, a piece of your own hair. You won’t realize this, of course, until you put it in your mouth and start to chew, and then it willContinue reading “November 1, 2020 – A very follicular fable.”
October 31, 2020 – Fixer Uppers
There’s something about fixer uppers. They always seem to seduce me somehow. Maybe it’s the warped floors and the paneled walls or those oh-so-adorable-and-practical original, single pane, aluminum windows? Or perhaps it’s the dated bathrooms with turquoise fixtures and galvanized pipes that prove nearly impossible to resist? So cute! And the charm of the warped,Continue reading “October 31, 2020 – Fixer Uppers”
October 30, 2020 – Grandma was a klepto.
Have you ever been out to lunch with my grandma? You’d know if you did. At the end of the meal, the table would look quite bare. All of the creamer and butter and single-serve jams and jellies would be missing along with most of the silverware. Where did it go? Into grandma’s purse, ofContinue reading “October 30, 2020 – Grandma was a klepto.”
October 29, 2020 – An open letter to a guy I once dated.
Hi ‘B’. It’s me. Do you remember me? I’m that neurotic, insecure white girl that met you at a hip-hop club back in the day. Doesn’t ring a bell? Need more info? Well, I had big hair and a big, toothy smile and I loved to dance. And one of your best friends lived upContinue reading “October 29, 2020 – An open letter to a guy I once dated.”
October 28, 2020 – No soliciting. Think I’m kidding? Think again!
Thanks a lot, Sir Paul McCartney. You had to write that blasted song to make people think that everyone loves people just dropping by whenever they get the notion. “Someone’s knocking at the door, someone’s ringing the bell. Someone’s knocking at the door, someone’s ringing the bell. Do me a favor, open the door andContinue reading “October 28, 2020 – No soliciting. Think I’m kidding? Think again!”
October 27, 2020 – All Things Endcap
Once, long ago, in a village far, far away, there lived a peasant woman. About 10 minutes away from her cottage, as the crow flies, stood the nearest market. It had nearly everything anyone could ever possibly want or need. Its inventory included assorted candies which were stored in glass jars (licorice, peppermints and hardContinue reading “October 27, 2020 – All Things Endcap”
October 26, 2020 – Name that tune! Earworms, what happens when a song gets stuck in your head.
Billy Joel, would you please get out of my head?! I am tired of hearing about uptown girls and a particular state of mind that you’re in at the moment and only good people dying young. It has been nearly three hours and no matter what I do, I cannot seem to shake you. IContinue reading “October 26, 2020 – Name that tune! Earworms, what happens when a song gets stuck in your head.”
October 25, 2020 – How did a Samurai get in my house?
Huh? Who IS that? There’s some guy with a ponytail working out on my elliptical!! Wait a sec. He sort of looks familiar. Oh, hang on! Don’t call the police. It’s just my husband. But what the heck is he doing with a ponytail? Am I in some parallel universe where I married a ‘ponytailContinue reading “October 25, 2020 – How did a Samurai get in my house?”
