When was the last time you had a truly blissful two and a half days? I mean sincerely, truly blissful. No stress. No panic. No dieting. Anything spring instantly to mind?
Believe it or not, I had two such days this weekend. In Nebraska, of all places. For some reason, perhaps years of Kansas relatives telling [...]

As most women know, the Victoria Secret Semi-Annual sale just passed. We have but six more months until, once again, we can purchase our over-priced but terribly effective under garments. I think most people would agree that, while expensive to the point of absurdity, Victoria has a pretty good secret. She can make any of [...]

I don’t often post guest blogs, but this one was so beautiful, I couldn’t resist.
Bear – Here is a “guest blog” for your site:
To my daughter Bearski -

I’m afraid of elevators. I’m always concerned I’ll get stuck or it will plummet or if I try to use my arm to stop the doors from closing that it will lop my limb off and I’ll be forced to wear a hook and anyone who knows me can tell you that I rub my [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen: I received this in my inbox today. As a Tonys junkie, I am actually subscribed to them on three different email addresses. I read this and it made me tear up. Please take a moment and try to understand how important this is to those of us who see the Tony Awards, [...]

I am trying to condense some of my Tony posts into one big Tony post since I’ve been a terrible procrastinator and we’re already only 10 days away. To start with, I have included the list [...]

I’ve been watching the news lately and based on some recent political events, I’ve had a brain storm. I think there should be a law that all people with chemically treated hair should be forced to submit to a government-approved hair cut. I know what you’re thinking, but hear me out.

Last night Irving asked me something that could take our relationship to the next level. We’re talking, a huge step. Earth-shaking in its implications, this new level of our relationship could be the biggest step I’ve ever taken.
It requires a level of trust and faith I’ve never had in any other relationship before. It means [...]

Relationships are way harder than they tell you. See, I’m a mess these days. Now, I like to think I’m a charming mess, but the truth is that for the moment, I’m just a mess. The job hunt is still ongoing and while I sometimes feel very optimistic, at times it’s easy to dip into [...]
