Hi fabulous people! I’m just coming off my spiritual high after being at a 3 day retreat, The Emmaus Walk. This non-denominational interactive experience was just what my soul needed. Absolutely no hellfire and damnation and total grace, love and joy. Bible recap: There were two men who were walking 7 miles or so to […]
I used to feel like a total B*&%$ when uttering these words, I want to speak to the manager. But, now I’ve come to terms with the fact that it is only these words what will get me some actual customer service with several companies who have dishonest policies.
Whenever I have to deal with […]
I adore Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser. A friend of mine used it to get Sharpie marks off her boss’s wall after bringing her kids to work for an afternoon.
So I bought it and I LOVE it. It’s a little white sponge. It’s weightless, it has no smell at all, it doesn’t engorge with water when […]
There are only 3 things I envy about men. By envy, I mean, things I wish women had that men have.
The first is the obvious - political and socio-economic power. Duh, 43 male presidents, history books full of men doing heroic and powerful things. All the men running companies, having the predominate power in all […]
Okay, so I have pink hair and I love it.
Often I forget I have it and wonder why people look at me funny. Then I remember and I chuckle and it’s like an internal comedy for me, because otherwise I’m a typical soccer mom.
However, a recent visit to my hairdresser proved a disaster and now […]
I had this boss last year who was a “mean girl.” She was such a cliché that I found it rather funny and was able to see her from the outside of the situation and not internalize her opinion of me – sort of.
She pulled me out back where she would smoke and pretend […]
Hello everyone, is anyone out there? Please comment so I don’t feel like I’m just talking to myself.
I want to share with everyone that my 3 day fast (I previously wrote about it - scroll down) was a total success.
Last night my husband came home from his spiritual retreat a new man. He was without […]
Trashy television confession:
I watch The Girls Next Door and find it totally amusing. You know it’s the reality television series where we get to see how Hugh Hefner’s harem lives.
Understand, I KNOW it’s trash. I would never let my daughter see me watch it, I record it on my DVR and watch after she’s […]
I’m in the middle of a 3 day fast.
My husband and I have been separated for a few weeks, he went to stay at his parents house. We’ve been struggling. It’s been painful. We’ve found ourselves in a cycle that we never intended to be in - yet, here we are. You are welcome to read […]
I went to my annual OB/GYN exam today. It’s really no fun. You all know that. Never your favorite day. The anticipation feels more like anxiety – even though you know what is going to happen and you know you will live through it.
I have the added anxiety of my OB/GYN being a man. I confess […]
I I saw this woman who had sextuplets on Oprah last week. When they told her she was pregnant with an entire litter of babies she had the only rational and sane response I’ve ever heard of – she had a mini-nervous breakdown and had to be immediately hospitalized for shock. I imagine I might […]
pink-hair-blog-flat.jpgI confess I don’t even really know who Don Imus is. I am hearing about him on TV right now because he made racial and misogynistic slurs against some black female college basketball players.
I only chime in on the conversation to say this: I’m sorry.
I’m sorry because I am related to quite a […]
This picture is worth 1,000 words. And here they are:
I love this picture because it is a metaphor for the year in which I have been raising my son. This is his first birthday photo, his view of the world, walking side by side with Mommy. I took time off work to experience his first […]
I’m a spiritual sort. I go to church on Sundays; I love a good spiritual retreat and am anxiously anticipating my upcoming Emmaus Walk at the end of the month.
Currently, I’m reading The Seat of the Soul, by Gary Zukav. Zukav appears to have been able to smoosh all of the philosophies and religious […]
There was once this old lady, a lovely Southern woman, who was a very good cook. The secret ingredient to the meals - tireless labor and sugar. She had a house full of children who grew up and had houses full of children, who in their turn, grew up and had houses full of children.
Every once […]
