Wardrobe Malfunction

I feel like leather pants should be a controlled substance. They need to be behind a counter or a sliding glass window, not just out in the open for everyone to wear.  I know it sounds mean and I’m sorry, well I’m not really sorry because this is factual information.  There needs to be an…

Coveralls

I tend to judge.  Shoot me. I swear we all do it, but I guess I’m a little more open with my thoughts. I know you can’t judge a book by it’s cover.  I look farther than the cover, but once I’m a few chapters in, I really feel like I have a good sense.…

Organic Cotton

I am wild. Not in that sense, although I can get pretty whirly after some good tequilla.  I’m not risky or dangerous wild, it’s more that I prefer wild.  I like things, people, animals in their natural place.  I’m never inclined to manicure or box stuff up, frame it, or put it under glass.  How…

I’m pretty sure there is a God. I’m also confident Jesus was a special person that had a huge impact on humankind.  He seems to have lived a noble life we can learn from. That’s my take on the institution that is religion, those three sentences. I don’t go to church, I’m not concerned with…

Above all else, I like quirky.  Add intelligent to quirky and I’m a goner. I love John McIntrye. You may, or may not, know that he was the copy editor and is now a production manager for the Baltimore Sun.  No, I do not live in Maryland, but he is a pretty big deal.  Mr.…

But then “culture” is added and…

Cool Bag

James Patterson has a new book out. I know, you’re thinking, “He has a new book out every other week.  Who cares?”  I bought it because I am truly a dysfunctional girlfriend when it comes to him. I continue to say, “Oh gosh, maybe he’s not that bad.  Maybe he’s changed.”  I have read A…

Easy Strider Shoes

Why am I writing another blog post when I should be writing a book?  Why when I swipe my credit card at the gas station does it stop before my tank is full, even though I entered my zip code like a good lemming?  Why do people have children and then ignore them?  Why, even…

Rough Water

I wasn’t going to write about this, but my question needs to be asked, so here goes… I’m confused about the George Zimmerman verdict.  To my knowledge, this man was investigated the night of and following the tragic incident.  Police made the determination, after reviewing the facts, that Zimmerman was overzealous, didn’t follow the directions…
