I work hard for my money, at least I did until I was laid off, so if you have an event or an occasion or a party or a celebration and I bought you a gift, I’d really appreciate some acknowledgement in writing. It doesn’t need to cost a lot of money, nor does itContinue reading “November 12, 2020 – A thank you card would have been nice.”

November 9, 2020 – Dog Poop Etiquette
Every other day I walk my dog. She demands it. It doesn’t matter what the temperature is or how tired I am, we are taking that walk. Generally, once I set out, it actually is a pretty pleasant experience. It’s always good to get some fresh air and if it’s a sunny day, even better.Continue reading “November 9, 2020 – Dog Poop Etiquette”
November 5, 2020 – Time to release the Kraken.
Have I ever told you about my oldest brother? I’m going to refer to him as ‘the Kraken’. ‘The Kraken’ is perplexing to me. In person, during the few times we’ve actually gotten together, he ‘seems’ so incredibly normal and funny and supportive. He makes me laugh and listens and offers advice and makes meContinue reading “November 5, 2020 – Time to release the Kraken.”
November 4, 2020 – Once upon a ‘timeshare’.
Many years ago, there was a man, a very disreputable, unsavory character that was always trying to find ways to make a quick buck. He tried a few ‘get rich quick’ schemes but they never amounted to much. There were pyramid schemes, but he could never seem to rise above the lowest level, and forContinue reading “November 4, 2020 – Once upon a ‘timeshare’.”
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?”
October 24, 2020 – Hey, Ma! Where’d you go?
It’s such an odd thing when you’re speaking with your mother, when out of the blue she asks, “How’s your mom and dad?” Huh? Did I miss something? “Ummm. They’re doing well, I guess?” you respond. Have you had this experience before? It is a mind-blower. One day your parent is totally coherent and capable,Continue reading “October 24, 2020 – Hey, Ma! Where’d you go?”
