And no, I don’t mean wine… I’ve still got plenty of that to get me going. I mean that I feel like I’ve lost my blogging mojo. Life and work have been busy and I have less time now to blog than I did before I “retired.” And life just hasn’t been funny lately. From [...]

With Mother’s Day tomorrow and the fact that I am coming up on my 10th anniversary of the day I became a Mother, motherhood has been on my mind lately. Next week, as my daughter steps confidently into the double digits of life and turns 10, I am left wondering, “How the heck did that [...]

Wacko (our dog Bella) is actually good at something (besides eating Blackberries and Kleenex). She is a star basketball play. Number one defensive player in her league… for reals! Check her out: Told ya! Oh and nice Marge Simpson laugh in the background. That is definitely not me!

Pass the Tissue!

No, this is not a sappy story about how my dog makes me a better person or how she is my best friend. My dog is WACKO! My dog is obsessed with tissue… used ones, new ones, boxes of tissues, you name it… whatever she can get her mouth on. What the hell? Are the [...]

In a few weeks, I will be attending my first online conference, The Blog Workshop, May 17 to 19. I haven’t “attended” one of these before but given the fact that I don’t have to pay travel or accommodations, I think it’s a pretty inexpensive deal. It’s $175 but there is a payment plan option [...]

Play that Funky Music… Somewhere Else!

For God’s sakes… I’m sick of feeling like I live in a late night bar! Loud, pulsing music. Scantily clad girls dancing… and fighting. Sticky floors. All that’s missing are the drunk men.

No you’re not… at least not when you retire at 38! Unless you are talking about more than just money. Today, I was the richest Mom in the world. I recently left full-time employment so I could have more flexibility in my schedule. I’m on Day 2 and so far it’s great (no bills have [...]

This Girl is On Fire / Somebody Call 9-1-1!
By · 6 Comments
Brace yourself. I just exercised. For 20 minutes!!! See? Proof. I fell off the exercise wagon a while back and it shows. The wine has caught up to me. It is NOT my friend. So I’ve made a decision… “Wine,” I said, “I love you but you just aren’t good for my waistline. Something has [...]
