Where Have You Been?

The real answer is, at work, as always. But the underlying answer is hatching a new chicken. It's an old chicken, but still. For those not in the know, the offspring are known as chickens: Oldest, Middle, and Baby. While they were growing, I hatched another to keep me sane. The year is 1995. I… Continue reading Where Have You Been?

Pickleball Tried To Kill Me…

While it is true you will never find this girl in a gym, I do admit to swimming, walking and I was a tennis girl for about twenty years. While those halcyon days at the club are gone, I do still walk around. Just the other day I went to the Railroad Park with GrandBears… Continue reading Pickleball Tried To Kill Me…

Hello Danny…

While in Vegas, taking in as many sites as possible is always best; Adele if you recently robbed a bank, The Beatles' Love for your soul, and Danny Pellegrino any chance you can get. Not in the know my doll? It's a Housewives thing, as in the Real ones. Those of us who disengage our… Continue reading Hello Danny…

How Judgy Are You?…

Hoarders makes me sad. Don't know it? It's a reality show that goes inside the homes of messy people. They say it's a real thing. Gathering stuff, until there are only trails through one's home and rats in the kitchen, is the result of some sort of trauma. I figure I must be ahead of… Continue reading How Judgy Are You?…

Online Fibbers…Oh My

Seems the single Dolls are none too happy about the boys' grievances. Not following? Last week, the boys expressed confusion as to what it is, exactly, girls want. While they didn't care for "everything," they did get an earful from the ladies. And the boys shot back with a list of their own. Refresher. On… Continue reading Online Fibbers…Oh My

Housewives Rando…

Perhaps it's the heat. Perhaps it's perpetual obsession with lazing about in the South, parasol shading delicate skin and the lure of running away never seen or heard from again like a modern day Salinger. Only in a dress. And no lusting after twenty year olds. And all that hermity-ness. Really, I just want a… Continue reading Housewives Rando…

We Get You Miss Havisham…

Widow readers take heed--the day is upon us. Every girl that's lost a beloved braces for the dreaded anniversary. July 2 is this girl's personal Miss Havisham day. I may not have been left at the altar but every year; jilted is an apt emotion. I get how our dear Miss H wandered the rooms… Continue reading We Get You Miss Havisham…

The Makeup Rocks…

What is it about Oceans 8? The ladies? The Met Gala? The cameos? Aside from a couple Kardashians, the cameos are quite fetching. Miss Wintour appears to be working on her rep since Devil Wears Prada, does she not? Could it be the teaser that one of the beloved boys is dead? Yeah, that happens.… Continue reading The Makeup Rocks…

Keep Those Emotions Away From Me…

For some girls, our comfort zone falls into the, "Ew, get those emotions away from me," category. We're not heartless. We're just rarely found crying, becoming perturbed over nothing or going to the ladies room in a gaggle. Public cry spells humiliation for girls like that. A fave client throws retreats designed to strengthen the… Continue reading Keep Those Emotions Away From Me…
