Until I read your article, I never noticed the theme in my life, my entire life, is trees.
When I had a difficult time at home listening to my dad abusing my mom, I aimed my little body out to the pine tree forest that was situated at the back…
I wish I was talking about raucous sex, but it’s a clean story instead.
Standing in the doorway to the bathroom the girls share, I shudder in disgust, and vow the second they are all out of the house, I am going to clean it.
Even though I instituted a new cleaning schedule for my girls to follow, let’s be kind and say they’ve…
Unexpected feelings during sorting sorta makes me feel bad about myself.
Leaving San Diego has been a goal for many years now. I know, I know. You’re sitting there wondering why in the world would I want to leave paradise? But I’m here to tell you that paradise gets boring. Imagine sunny days nearly 365 days per year. …
On the short list of good things from the global pandemic is it's shown me who are my friends and who are my "frenz."
I think another item on the list of good things from the pandemic is I also learned it is okay, in fact, BETTER to have a…
And 10 reasons is only the tip of the iceberg.
Back in June of 2020, I’d had enough of Facebook. I realized the social media site was causing a combination of bad feelings in me like anxiety, anger, disgust, dread, and disdain for so many of my frenz (the word I use for the people I am connected with but…
And it’s not because I don’t understand technology — it’s because I do.
A little over two years ago, my husband moved out of our house and into an apartment. For the first year after he left, I had no interest in dating anyone. Wise advice abounds all over the Internet and in self-help books about how one should take a break from…
I love these ideas so much I put it on my 'Daily Plan' to figure out what I want to do on my big adventure, my little adventure, and one whimsical pursuit.
I'm definitely going to celebrate Waffle Day even though my kids are grown and I don't usually make waffles, but this year I am! It will be a total surprise for the two college kids I have at home due to COVID, so thank you for making their lives more fun, too.
The Waffle Day will also add a mission to my to do list--find the best waffle recipe. I am going to start on OnceUponAChef.com since the recipes are almost all 5 stars.
I'm currently in the "I'm going to kill my one year old Mac for not allowing me to highlight the whole sentence" phase of life! Lol.
We had some serious weather on Monday. I live in the north part of San Diego, California. We never get serious weather--not enough to comment about, anyway.
The weather reflected my mood: blustery, out of control, random, freaky, scary, but also very exciting! I have been a dancing queen (still am), a mom (still am), a sometimes wise woman, and not yet a crone.
Coronavirus and the lockdown has provided with far too much time for self-reflection and quiet. I'd love to get back to being loud and combine it with the quiet exploration in the forests of the East Coast.
And I knew my food preferences had turned to sh*t.
The time I gagged on an apple was probably when I was a little kid, right? Wrong! It was just last week.
Like many people during this never-ending pandemic, I’ve turned to food for comfort. And, I’ll be honest, I’ve also turned to drink. Nothing like a coupla glasses of…
And I’d make the same decision again.
In another lifetime, I moved from the suburbs of Philadelphia to the suburbs of San Diego. Complete and total culture shock aside, I thought when I stepped on the accelerator on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and left Philly with my best friend, I would never, ever return.
And for the better…
