This gem comes across the facebook feed, “How to Meditate in One Minute.”  It’s a video. Some of us long to meditate. We pray for relaxation. We yearn for the peace of mind exemplified by the Dalai Lama, Oprah and that girl from Eat, Pray, Love. Perhaps we try too hard. Maybe one minute is… Continue reading One Minute of the Day…

For many, the celebration of our country's independence features little more than bottle rockets and hot dogs. For others, the day is no different from any other. But for some, we are forced to face the fact we can no longer cartwheel. The blow is both deep and bothersome. Previously, cartwheels pose no problem. Years… Continue reading I Will Cartwheel Again…

Another Monday and coffee is not fending off random musings... Concerning this morning's SCOTUS ruling: Amongst the cries that women's health has been dealt a blow; has anyone considered Hobby Lobby covers 16 of the 20 contraceptive options? They object to four. They pay for the others. Birth control has not become obsolete--you just have… Continue reading Random Monday Musings…

Is anyone else tired of taxpayer-fed politicians crying poor? Since when is poor defined as making gobs of dough and being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to sit in a room while pearls of wisdom spew from your pie hole? As if Hillary's cries of ordinary man struggles are not enough, this morning Grandpa Joe… Continue reading Just Keep Talking Hillary…

There was actual news in the past few days. We possibly captured the guy behind the Benghazi attacks. The United States soccer team finally, thank Baby Jesus, beat Ghana at the World Cup. And Baghdad could use our help. Who could've have seen that coming? My brain, however, is obsessing over the ridiculous. Some days the greatest… Continue reading All The News That’s Fit To Print…

With Chickens home for the summer the work commute triples in time--dropping one here, one there, before my hind end ends up at my desk. More drive time translates to more radio time. Who knew Phoenix sports some damn funny radio? Yesterday, our trio howls over a little thing called "War of the Roses." One half… Continue reading Random Thought…What Happened to the Music?

A request was made not long ago to guest blog for a certain Law School Fashionista. Happy to oblige. You can visit her on Ooh La Law Blog. The offering from Amour discusses that all important first job. So you landed your first real job. It’s not an internship, not a summer job—it’s a real… Continue reading Time For Big Girl Panties…

Buzzfeed makes for light hearted entertainment while waiting in waiting rooms, bored at work or simply ignoring whomever is blathering on about why manners are outdated. I fell off my unicorn when I came across this: "People Pooping in Fitting Rooms is a Thing That Shouldn't Be A Thing." Stop it. That can't be true. But then buzzfeed,… Continue reading Sat In Shat?…

Grappled quite a bit with whether to actually feature, “Asshat of the Week.” Seems it could easily make the leap from funny to mean spirited. Then a story floated across my desk yesterday. It’s a head scratcher of the highest order. Seems a woman in Tennessee is blowing up social media with her actions. I… Continue reading Asshat #1

Delving into the minds, and decorating ideas, of others provides endless fascination. If it would not result in arrest, breaking into houses of strangers and gathering ideas for furniture arranging, fabric choice and whether to drape would fill endless amounts of my time. I simply do not have the ability to sit in a room and not wonder if… Continue reading Random Thoughts from Other Random Thoughts…
