You’d better watch out. You’d better not drive. You’d better not go out, I’m tellin’ you why…insanity is coming to town.
It’s that time again. The clock is ticking and we’re on the biggest deadline of the year. And boy does it show. I was on my daily pilgrimage to Big Lots the other day, just for […]

I’m in a mood tonight. Not a good one. I don’t think it’s the holidays because I like the holidays and I don’t even mind the lines and the crowds. You have to expect that at this time of year. I think I’m just tired and burned out. I’m really wishing there was a turn-back-time […]

For alcoholics resentment, ego, and fear are constant companions. They are stalkers and predators, hovering and beckoning our will. They encourage us to be miserable. They invite us for cocktails. 
The lucky alcoholics have implements, weapons if you will to combat these foes. They are the 12 steps.
I just found a sponsor and, since I already completed the first […]

After yesterday’s blog, I’m really afraid of coming across like the Christmas Kremlin but could we all come to an agreement about the letters…you know the ones that get sent out in mass quantities this time of year? The ones with the cute little holiday stamps on the envelope and the carefully but not originally selected […]

Whatever you do this holiday season, please don’t go to the mall and get a silver picture frame with something engraved on it. I know, I know…some people are impossible to buy for. But when you really think about it, it’s not them, it’s us. We’re in a hurry and our brains turn to yorkshire pudding […]

In my mind’s eye everything from the 1960’s is in sepia tones. I don’t know if it’s because I was so young that the memories are like faded old pictures or what, but even when I see that era replicated on tv or in movies it sends me into a comfy cocoon-like state. I always wonder […]

My best friend named her daughter after me and now, 17 years later, we both think this may have been a bad idea.
They had a huge fight last night because her daughter refused to clean up the kitchen. It got ugly, with the girl telling her mother, “I’ll take you out, bitch.” We’re both reasonably […]

Anybody out there a little overwhelmed lately? I’m overwhelmed at the thought of how overwhelmed I am. I do this every year right about this time. I know a lot of people who do. But I’m really good at it.
I don’t even have as much Christmas stuff as usual to get accomplished this year. I started […]

Whaaaaaaaaaaat????!!! Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock are divorcing??? SHOCKING!!
I mean, really, who would have thought…given that touching ceremony in Saint Tropez, the sacrament (with an O) of the union, the bride resplendent in a skimpy bikini and captain’s hat. Let’s not forget the touching sentiment she delivered. I believe it was, “I’m gonna ride him […]

Their epidermis (and everything else) was showing today at the Orlando Science Center.
We went to see the “Our Body” exhibit that everyone seems to be talking about. There were real skeletons and full bodies with the skin removed, revealing all of the muscles and tendons. They even managed to preserve the veins and arteries. One […]
