BlogHer kindly sends us #NaBloPoMo masochists a daily blog prompt during the week just in case we are at a loss for ideas. So far, I haven’t used any of theirs. Where my ideas come from I’ll never know. Divine intervention, perhaps. I’m not even half way through the 30 day challenge and I know […]
Which Do You Choose: Your Face Or Your Fanny?
I was at a party recently, when a handsome young gentleman smiled broadly at me and remarked that it was “nice to see a woman eat and drink.” I must confess, I was holding a slice of pizza in one hand, a Vampire’s Delight (a wickedly delicious vodka concoction) in the other. Looking around the […]
Pillow Talk
I seem to be on a holiday-decoration-pillow shopping spree. Seeking comfort and expression wherever I go, I guess. Perhaps, I just need a nap. Posting everyday for a month during #NaBloPoMo will do that to you! Anyway, this pretty much says it all. The best part? It’s sparkly.
The 15 Best College Movies To See Before You Go To College
Movie night is a big deal in our home. When our kids were in high school and especially during the summers before we shipped them off to college, we became obsessed with watching movies about college. So, whether you’re in college, on your way to college, or simply reminiscing about some of the best days […]
It’s Monday, Excuse Me While I Complain
I picked an interesting month to take on the National Blog Post Month challenge. This happens to be an unusually busy month for me personally, with a lot of commitments weighing heavily on me, and, as usual, not enough sleep. Cranking out a daily blog post, for me, feels rushed, premature, and honestly, stressful. But, […]
My #1 New Year’s Resolution
Like a lot people at the end of every year, I make a list of New Year’s Resolutions. This is something I look forward to every year and usually with great enthusiasm. Usually, this involves a lot of cutting and pasting from the previous year: Talk on the phone instead of text, read more, workout […]
Joy To The World
My first holiday decoration purchase of the season. I love this message and the pillow looks so good on the bench in my entry, that I think I will leave it there year-round. Have you started your holiday decorating?
How To Have Beautiful Skin Without Breaking The Bank
I don’t mind spending the big bucks on shoes or purses, but I draw the line when it comes to skin care. Of course, I’m not about to sacrifice having dewy, soft skin, but I’d like to think you don’t have to break the bank to get it. I always had a passion for cleansers […]
Three Words Everyone Wants To Hear
When burying the hatchet over old wounds, when the opportunity arises to make amends, do we kiss and make up agreeing to disagree? Or rehash all the icky, painful, uncomfortable stuff, leaving the possibility for more damage once the proverbial pot is stirred. If we don’t talk about it, is it ever really resolved? Do […]
The Eyes Are The First To Go
When I was a little girl I used to love playing with my dad’s glasses, pretending I was my third grade teacher or a high powered executive. Now that I’m technically “over-the-hill” and everything is just a blur, wearing glasses has become a necessity. Whoever said, “The eyes are the first to go,” wasn’t kidding. […]
