I’ve never been a very good fan. I have a hard time wearing things on my T-shirts. I’m not a big chanter, screamer, “Oh my God…” type of person. I do, however, love music and there have been two times in my life that I have slept on a sidewalk for concert tickets. Once in junior…
Summer sucks for white girls. Maybe not all white girls, but for this white girl Summer is a reminder that I don’t belong at the lake tubing or some beach volleyball game. Maybe I have a few unresolved issues from high school, but I’m never going to be tan, cocoa oiled, and I’m tired of…
A couple of months ago, Barb, aka Book Club Mom, interviewed me and asked about my experience finding an agent. At the time of the interview I had not yet looked for an agent. I have spent the past few weeks in that process and I feel a metaphor coming on. Finding an agent is…
Never has choosing a pair of pants seemed so important. The trek to Machu Picchu is now three weeks away and I have read everything I possibly can on packing tips and the like. Some say travel pants, some say workout pants, others swear by those ones that zip into shorts. I’m literally sweating about…

Jelly beans are evil. I innocently bought a big tub of Jelly Bellies. I have three children, three baskets, I need a lot of jelly beans. Yes, I still do baskets even though my “children” are 20, 17 and 14. Don’t judge. I bought them, I planned ahead and patted myself on the back. Then…
I go to a day spa type of place for my…maintenance. Let’s call it that because Maggie is always telling me, “Keep it rated G, Mom. Let’s keep it G.” Anyway, a girl needs things done, so I go. The other day I noticed there’s a Menu of Services, so while I was waiting I…
I am not feeling well. I’m fighting it and taking my vitamins and getting enough rest, but I think the bastard virus, germ, bug is winning. That being said, it’s past time to put something on the blog, so before I slip into fuzzy head, stuffy, runny nose, cold and then sweaty, here are some…
Remember Dana Carvey’s Church Lady? For those of you that are young, Dana Carvey is a comedian. He was on Saturday Night Live when it was still a very funny show. His character was a stereotypical…well, church lady. She was convinced everything was satanic. It’s hard to explain, so if you have never heard of…
