Still Pinteresting. It has not lost its appeal. In fact, this past weekend I added some new boards: Pearls, Pearls Everywhere; Southern Charm; The Writer's Life and Tables. Of course, one cannot add boards without a review of old ones. Here's what I learned. If my Pinterest closet were to spring to life I would… Continue reading Very Pinteresting…

Breakfast In Paris…
An article crosses the desk seemingly pointed right at me. The writer laments breakfast in Paris, whining the French don't offer a humongous American wake up call of eggs, bacon, sausage or potatoes. Never one to turn down bacon, I still bristle and scream out, "Blasphemer." The idea that a freshly baked baguette heaped in… Continue reading Breakfast In Paris…
It’s Feud Camp…
The summer I was thirteen, babysitting filled days and nights. Having a baby brother who was two marked me the authority teen on caring for the neighborhood's younger set. It was an enviable position. Money, snacks galore and fame amongst parents desperate for respite and little ones looking for a sitter to actually play with… Continue reading It’s Feud Camp…
Mascara Slut…
Few things make the heart race more than mascara. Drenched in gobs of black, eyelashes provide inner strength and resilience. I write about makeup and The Dolls are effusive with commentary. And, yes, unlike my stuffed bra, they're real. So imagine my surprise when trolling buzzfeed I spy Too Faced Cosmetics article, "13 Things Anyone… Continue reading Mascara Slut…
Water Emergency…Call Someone
Friday morning I stumble into the bathroom and turn on the shower. Every day, the same. Bathroom stumble, turn on the Keurig, kiss the kittens, climb in the shower. Ten minutes later, actually wake up. I count on a shower to shock me into the day, catapult me to success, wash away yesterday's disappointments and… Continue reading Water Emergency…Call Someone
Just A Dime Size…
Is anyone else irritated with a "dime size?" Mostly in moisturizers, foundations and stuff you put on your face. The directions say, "Spread a dime size amount evenly across your face." Either I have a face the size of Texas or dime size is a marketing gimmick. Pfft. No one loves makeup more than me.… Continue reading Just A Dime Size…
Into The Woods…Pfft
"What is it you've got against camping?" questions a new reader. Of all the things listed in the "about" section, loathing camping is the last for which I expect blowback. But you do you and I'll do me. Just know we'll never run into each other in the woods. In an old photo I find… Continue reading Into The Woods…Pfft
From Italy…With Love
No, not that kind of love. This Valentine's Day offering doesn't come with hearts and flowers. It comes from Italy--manufactured right alongside the Fiats. Ooooh, I know right? It's the new Jeep Renegade. And Big Al's got one for your sweetie. It's been labeled the "Most capable small SUV ever." Well, that's a tall order,… Continue reading From Italy…With Love
Slumping…
Cancer Lesson 4,387: When they tell you resistance will be low, they're not lying. Pfft. For the second time this "cold and flu" season, I was sick. Betrayed by my body and felled to my bed. The last round left me in a small slump. This go round found me not only feeling bad but… Continue reading Slumping…
It’s That Time of Year…heart emoji
It's that time of year...romance time. Reminders that Valentines Day is twelve days away leave one struck by the notion of romance. The Norwegian was the romantic in our house. Flowers every Friday, rented restaurant to propose, notes, cards. Me? I'm here aren't I? Not that bad, but not that good either. I turn to… Continue reading It’s That Time of Year…heart emoji
