A week spent amongst Chickens is always good for the soul. A holiday week spent with Chickens in a brand new home and a first Thanksgiving dinner is a treasure. It's Middle Chicken and Lawyer Boy's new home and their first holiday in it. Le Sigh. Alas, Oldest Chicken and Baby Pea are on their… Continue reading Sunday Scaries…

Manners, Manners Everywhere…
Hiatus took me by surprise. Just kind of stopped writing and a day turned to another and another. And then I was a little lost. COVID has taken its toll in the house of Duchess. Skittish Tabby and I eat a lot of bad food, absorb way to many murder mysteries and see far too… Continue reading Manners, Manners Everywhere…
The Netflix Whisperer…
Seems The Duchess has a new moniker, Netflix Whisperer. Admittedly, no one is more in the know. The Goddess and I venture to a birthday celebration. Of course, we wore our masks. Pfft. During dinner, The Goddess, always bright, cheerful and beautiful, leans over and says, "Whatcha watching?" as if my Netfix goods are of… Continue reading The Netflix Whisperer…
Charles Manson Was A Loser…
Ladies, there's a new murder girl in town. She's been around for a bit. I'm just late to the party. Those of us who cannot look away from the gruesome, the bizarre and the just plain WTF are obsessed. Why? It's the combination. This chick talks murder while she does her makeup. No lie. I… Continue reading Charles Manson Was A Loser…
What Have You Learned?…
Through difficulty it's good to question, "What have I learned?" It's healthier than the pity party we're tempted to plan, less fun than drinking your way through, but every once in a while you hit on something. Husband dies. Life falls apart. What have you learned? You can take care of yourself. You may not… Continue reading What Have You Learned?…
Pride and Prejudices…Yours?
Pride and Prejudice paired with a couple, or three, Aperol sprtiz' makes for a perfect evening. Debates rage over which movie actually portrays the perfection of our dear Jane's words. But on this night only one offering is streaming and it calls to the tiny shred of romance in my generally black heart. And the… Continue reading Pride and Prejudices…Yours?
Coron-Activities
Seems the virus has brought out the creative in us. Social media is ablaze with accomplishment, from jigsaw puzzles to flower arranging to mask production. Cheers to those creating new vodka drinks. You have fans. Some things we're not seeing so much? Your real hair color, that your husband is the light of your life… Continue reading Coron-Activities
All The Catholic Girls…
Tomorrow marks the beginning of Lent, that annual bash where all the Catholic girls give up something for forty days then celebrate by stealing candy from Easter baskets. As a child I gave up things like chocolate, nail polish and soda. Never again will I give up nail polish. As I got older, I decided… Continue reading All The Catholic Girls…
Who Does The Heavy Lifting?…
Some days it's about the heavy lifting. Guys and chicks are not the same. Argue all you like but girls rarely belch the alphabet and guys generally don't wear thongs, regardless of worries over panty lines. Hauling the Christmas tree from the garage and a new license plate bring it home. I jostle and lift… Continue reading Who Does The Heavy Lifting?…
New Car? Kittens Best Part of the Day…
Always an adventure, non? Those of us who've lost spouses and played in the cancer pond consider our dance cards of the unexpected full, thank you. There is no need, ever, for surprise. Been there, done that. My little 200, love of my life with its' throwback analog clock--the reason I bought the car, showed… Continue reading New Car? Kittens Best Part of the Day…
