In November, it is required that every person in the country make a list of things they’re grateful for. If you don’t–you’re not a true American. But along with being thankful for food, clothing, shelter and chocolate, I am grateful for so much more. I’m grateful for: Underwear that doesn’t leave panty-lines. (I think she might haveContinue reading “I’m Grateful For . . .”

The Many Reasons I Exercise
‘Tis the season to eat my body weight in pie. And because I do, I try to hit the gym several days a week to keep my frumpy, matronly figure up to snuff. But it’s not only my Elizabeth Taylor figure (the later years) that keeps me going to the gym. There are lots ofContinue reading “The Many Reasons I Exercise”
Children’s Books that Messed Me Up
I can point to many reasons why I’m a little “off” at times. Lack of social skills, fear of small animals and an unexplained anger toward anything purple are just a few of my quirks. After years of trying to explain myself, I’ve decided to blame the stories I was read as a child. Such as: Martha MatildaContinue reading “Children’s Books that Messed Me Up”
My Top 5 Favorite Body Parts
Every women’s magazine tells us to dress to enhance our favorite body part. They probably mean things like cleavage, legs or butt–but my favorite body parts are none of those. My knees are wrinkled, my butt is saggy and my boobs haven’t been in the same location as my chest since the birth of my first child.Continue reading “My Top 5 Favorite Body Parts”
Happy Whoreoween
(This is scarier than any horror movie.) Helping little girls grow up too quickly, costume companies have sexed-up Halloween costumes for grade school children. Last year, third-grade girls came to my door wearing belly shirts, mini-skirts, fishnet stockings and lipstick. Isn’t there a vice squad created to prevent this? Where’s CSI: SVU when you need them? HalloweenContinue reading “Happy Whoreoween”
Things That Are Truly Frightening
Halloween is approaching with a bloody axe and heavy footsteps. Between “American Horror Story” and “Paranormal Activity,” I’ve been thinking about the things that really scare me. The things that raise my knuckle hair and put a hard knot in my liver. Besides terror-inflicting things like snakes, clowns and Kristin Stewart’s “acting,” there are things I find muchContinue reading “Things That Are Truly Frightening”

Working from home: Pros and Cons
I’ve been working from home as a journalist/freelance writer for about 18 months and, while I thoroughly enjoy being home, there are some definite drawbacks to not going into an office. If you a) need a boss breathing down your neck, b) enjoy gossiping around the water cooler or c) like flirting with the officeContinue reading “Working from home: Pros and Cons”
Ego Check
On Wednesday, WordPress featured my blog on its Freshly Pressed page (thank you!) and my hits went through the ROOF! I’ve been pecking out this blog since April and I usually get around 50 hits per day. So when I looked at my blog on Wednesday and saw nearly 500 hits, I was floored. In the next 2 days, IContinue reading “Ego Check”
Top 5 Things I Hope to Never Wear
(If I wear anything around my neck that could double as a doily, perhaps I should stop dressing myself.) I’ve reached the age where fashion can fall victim to comfort. I’ve been known to wear sweats most of the day and don flip-flops instead of cute sandals. But here are five things I hope to NEVERContinue reading “Top 5 Things I Hope to Never Wear”
