What Kind of “B” Are You?…

August 5, 2014 Duchess Diaries

You know when you're bored in the afternoon so you take buzzfeed quizzes? Liar--you do too! "What Kind of a Bitch Are You?" appears. The teaser features Angelina the Homewrecker. The "B" word is forefront in my mind as the business advisor/mentor/torturer/critic says I'm afraid of being thought of as a bitch in business. She… Continue reading What Kind of “B” Are You?…

Can We Talk Flashes?…

July 27, 2014 Duchess Diaries

Can we talk flashes? Of the hot variety? Seriously, before I run from the room to lift my blouse in front of the open freezer? At the yearly gynecological splay, the doctor announces me officially through the change! It's like I've been knighted. Woohoo. Silly girls. We think this means we can now skip through… Continue reading Can We Talk Flashes?…

News of the Ridiculous…

July 15, 2014 Duchess Diaries

News of the ridiculous continues to whir about our heads. What passes for news, and the public’s reaction to it, leaves little question as to our electorate. Meet some fellow voters. Steven Spielberg poses alongside a dinosaur from Jurassic Park. Social media explodes in outrage and labels him Dinosaur Killer. Word is Sarah McLachlin is… Continue reading News of the Ridiculous…

One Minute of the Day…

July 8, 2014 Duchess Diaries

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…

I Will Cartwheel Again…

July 5, 2014 Duchess Diaries

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…

Random Monday Musings…

June 30, 2014 Duchess Diaries

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…

Just Keep Talking Hillary…

June 23, 2014 Duchess Diaries

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…

All The News That’s Fit To Print…

June 17, 2014 Duchess Diaries

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…

Random Thought…What Happened to the Music?

June 13, 2014 Duchess Diaries

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?

Time For Big Girl Panties…

June 13, 2014 Duchess Diaries

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…
