If you’ve lived under a rock for the last few years, you might not be aware that birds are everywhere in the decorating world. This is all the funnier because just today I bought a plate with, you guessed it…..birds and why do we all drink the same kool-aid over and over and over again?

Yesterday I got my teeth cleaned. I have not gone in a year. I have such dental phobia that the timing has to be precise. Early a.m. so I don’t have too much time to think about it. Immodium for the pre-diarrhea feeling that kicks in as soon as I get to the parking lot. … Read more

I’m really, really trying to eat better. Less meat and bread, more fruits and veggies. I’ve always eaten breakfast, just not the healthiest kind and so (for the hundredth time) I am attempting to eat oatmeal in the morning. This time I bought a hazelnut blend, added some water, cooked it in the microwave for … Read more

It was a hot August night when I went on a blind date to Denny’s with a pretty cute guy. When he parked the car, he hit the concrete block jerking us both forward and I said, “Well, I guess this means we’re here.” Last weekend we went to a movie as Cute Guy declared … Read more

I needed some undereye concealer to cover some dark circles I’ve had since 1987 when I delivered my firstborn. I headed off to Macy’s repeatedly telling myself, “Do not go crazy at the make-up counter.  Do not go crazy at the make-up counter.” As if to sabotage me from the minute I walk in the … Read more

My friend, Nancy, and I have a little resale business going. The direction we’re going is somewhat in flux but we’ve had a couple of successful sales, love repurposing ugly stuff and making some money along the way.
