The Girls Who Launched Hallmark Movies…

Hallmark did not create their signature small-town romance movies. You know the stories. Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Girl rebounds with bad boy. Original boy becomes brooding. Girl cries in her pillow. Girl chases her dream. Girl returns to her small New England town in either Fall or Christmas time and learns to live… Continue reading The Girls Who Launched Hallmark Movies…

Dating. Why?…

When I was with the Woo-Woo Medium, she blurted, "And you don't date, why not?" That nugget was not information I had shared. Perhaps disgust is written all over my face.

Do You Have A Spare?…

Baby Chicken got a flat tire. It's tough when chickens are scattered about; especially when it's you who encouraged their flight. Like when you realize you never taught your daughter to change a tire. Because why? Calling AAA fits under the feminist umbrella, non? Until we realize we bought her a car but left her… Continue reading Do You Have A Spare?…
