Tonight, the snow is falling steadily. I have not changed out of my sweats all day; A ratty old hoody from a ratty old boyfriend that says "University of Southern California" and ankle length pants from Gap Kids. I have experienced a range of emotions today (highlights included: Paul and Gary finishing their painting work in our ...
Today, as I was driving out on a special errand, I put on Satellite Radio. This is a new luxury to me, as my beloved old car did not have this feature. It did, however, have a tape deck. And a peace sign. I still have the peace sign. So, when I heard this song, I ...
I am prepared. I am used to many of my posts being greeted with great warmth and empathy. "I feel exactly the same way!" I hear. But I don't think that this will be that kind of post; it is going to be a different post. An unpopular post. And that is OK. I am writing in support of the snow ...

Usually, one of us gets up and takes both kids downstairs, but this morning, for a change, we both woke up and brought the baby into bed and she followed. "Daddy, I had a dream and ...
Today was a day of challenges; I don't say that word in a heavy, baggage-laden way, implying negativity. Some things were hard (not fun), but 0ther things were challenging in a good way. Instead of going through each and every one of my hurdles, naming the ones that I cleared and the ones that I knocked over, I ...
I had a few conversations recently in which I shared that one of my very favorite words is "charm", in both it's noun and verb form. I was just looking up the video that I made chronicling my past year in music, and do you know how YouTube shows you a list of videos down the ...
As I have mentioned, this week I will be featuring some very special opportunities, deals and ideas for you so that you can get the right gift for anyone whom you may love (a partner, a friend, a family member--the list is endless). A fabulous gift idea at a reasonable price point is a pair of ...
