This may or may not have happened to me in the last 24 hours………………….. Had three adult children, two dogs and two cats in the house all afternoon after an awful night’s sleep.  Locked myself in the bedroom just so they would leave me alone.  They did not. Have run a one-person shuttle service with … Read more

The Big Daddy and I were invited to a going-away party this weekend for one of the guys in his bike group that is moving.  He loves these guys, but I don’t know them very well and let’s face it……………..I crack on bikers rather often.  Add to that, I am not a good mingler, and … Read more

I was driving The Big Daddy to an airport shuttle at 4:30 a.m……….why does he keep leaving me……….and we got on the subject of gambling.  I know plenty of people who do it and like it, but I have never been inside a casino let alone dropped quarters into a slot machine.  Not once. It … Read more

We are five weeks away from The Big Wedding.  Many things are starting to move at a faster, more frenzied pace. But not everything. In January, after The Big Daddy and I had feasted at the table of Holiday Munchies and Spirits for a solid month, we had a Come To Jesus about getting in … Read more
