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…

To me, an everyday patriot does the simplest of things to demonstrate his or her beliefs. Simple things like removing a cap at the beginning of sporting events and placing one's hand over one's heart when reciting the pledge. Also knowing the pledge, believing the pledge and believing it is the best way to start the day in… Continue reading A Patriot?…

The number one question of late is, "Did you really give up pearls?" The question comes in hushed tones, as if I am either addicted or addled. Close. Pearls provide artificial highs, surges of excitement as I finger them at my throat and feelings of unquestioning invincibility. Power possessed in the little orbs from the sea is palpable.… Continue reading To Pearl or Not To Pearl…

Meeting a new friend is always exciting. When that chick also happens to be a badass, falling on the floor in happiness is not uncommon. At the office today, warming lunch, I meet such a marvel and remain giddy at the encounter. She tells her story: single mother of five, writer, general kick-the-door-down chick.

But my general thought is this. Are there women who really need a guide? Grow it. Don't grow… Continue reading We Need A Guide For This?

Some things about women are baffling. I'm a chick and I don't understand. Who are these women standing in front of the fridge shooting whipped cream in their mouths? For some reason, the romcom world believes this to be the solution for chicks with angst. Here's the real deal. Chicks I know don't squirt whipped cream… Continue reading Chick Myths…

There's been a request for a second Q and A session. Now that Amour is out of infancy, people feel a kinship. Smiley face. They take a bit of ownership and feel free to share their thoughts. Straight line face. There are even those who believe I have a tolerance for the opinions of others. Frowny… Continue reading Q and A Round Two…

Books and movies have the magical ability to sweep us away to other lands and interesting times. We become people better than our everyday selves, spurring ourselves on to bigger and better things. Some stories leave us weeping. We know it and yet we love them. Some chick flicks leave me wanting as I was… Continue reading P.S. I Love You…
