Red Cape

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s CVS? CVS has decided it’s new business model is to move toward a “place of wellness.”  I’m not sure that’s going to work, in fact, I’m pretty sure they will go bankrupt. It appears part of their plan is to remove cigarettes from all stores by October.  The…

Rinse, Repeat

It occurs to me that I have never done anything for my entire life. I mean other than the basics, sleep, brush teeth, but I don’t even do those the same way every time.  I don’t have a habit, something I’ve done my whole life, or even my adult life.  I think I’m a bit…

Cold Water

I’m not sure I will ever understand addiction. I get eating M&Ms until you’re sick and you swear you’ll never eat another one again.  There have been times in my life when I have promised myself to stop something, make better choices, turn things around. Maybe it’s all the same thing.  Maybe I do understand…

Bleach

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…

Belt

I’ve been thinking that the airport could be a metaphor for life. I know, enough with the metaphors, but I’m sitting around with tissue sticking out of my nose and Downton Abbey is not providing the same comfort Sesame Street did when I was a child.  So, I turn to thinking and that brings me…

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…

Strong Fibers

I have only been scared a handful of times in my life.  Of those, I was only terrified once. I’ve stood up for my family or friends, but I’ve never moved a mountain, led a cause.  I’m not sure one has presented itself to me.  I’m certain I have never sought one out.  I’ve never…

Pin Stripes

I need to be more serious.  Expensive shoe wearing, fine leather bag carrying, author portrait where I’m looking over my shoulder in some way, serious.  A scarf that’s not fuzzy with every color in the crayon box is in order or maybe even…lip liner. If I become more serious, play the part, then I will…

Sweater Stone

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…
