Tips For Romping…Just Don’t

Evidently, the man romper is a thing. Really. It's your standard romper, meant for chicks, made with man colors and maybe a little tie belt. Haven't seen one live and in person, but guaranteed, I'll laugh. Women in men's clothing can be super chic. Think a classic tuxedo, double pleated pants, wingtips and some ties--not… Continue reading Tips For Romping…Just Don’t

It’s Confession Time…

If we wore tutus we would feel better. We would move more freely and kindness would ensue. And there'd be dancing. And I could wear mine to Walmart and look relatively normal. Like you, I see photos of Walmart shoppers and shake my head wondering about self awareness, fashion sense and, truly, mental health. Not… Continue reading It’s Confession Time…

The Perfect Job…Meow

When your biz is PR, marketing and image, strange requests can pad through the door. Requests for free proposals came so often, I finally started charging. Unless I really like you. Every once in a while there's a proposal request and a skip to my loo on the bill. You know who you are Mr.… Continue reading The Perfect Job…Meow

Sleep When I’m Dead…

Sleep is the enemy. I would love to be one of those people who says, "I'll sleep when I'm dead." But I get tired. Not tired enough to sleep but tired nonetheless. Night presents itself thusly: In a chair, in front of a computer, vacuuming (a favorite of OCDs who love the lines in the… Continue reading Sleep When I’m Dead…

Tiny Change Tidbits…

They say the mark of a grown up woman is when she stops competing with other women and is actually happy for their accomplishments. Or something like that. It means that sometime after junior high, we realize cheering each other on is better than cheering when we fall. Although we all know girls who've never… Continue reading Tiny Change Tidbits…

SCOBY Is Not The Way…

Weight is a funny thing. We spend most of our lives fighting it. Don't eat this. Don't ever eat this. Years stretch by where a french fry is something to look upon with lust but never eat. And, then, in the blink of an eye, radiation and chemo strip away butt and thigh fat, eat… Continue reading SCOBY Is Not The Way…

The Season of Trucks…

Commercial Truck Season is a thing. Who knew? I find out from our fave car dealer, Big Al, that it is quite the thing--and it's in full swing. What is it? Seems getting your business vehicles of the hard working variety in order, and perhaps replaced, before the summer is a smart business move. Ram,… Continue reading The Season of Trucks…

The Easter Miracle…Is A Lizard

The Goddess and I find ourselves alone for Easter. Never a pair bothered by a lack of company, we decide to spend the day together--church, brunch--the stuff of which Easter is made. Arrive at The Goddess' abode to ride to Mass together and spy a strange box on the porch. It's a Rubbermaid type container.… Continue reading The Easter Miracle…Is A Lizard

Fairytale Wishes…

Every year, on a Sunday in April, fairytales come true. It's the Fairytale Tea for HEAL--the charity that helps moms with cancer. The day is no ordinary fundraiser. Groups come together to create fairytale theme tables. I can try to describe it all day long--but as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand… Continue reading Fairytale Wishes…
