When I was growing up, when I would get sick of a boyfriend I would just stop calling or seeing him or otherwise ignore him.  I was horrible.  I never had a good break-up experience in my life.  I’m sure that if cell phones were available then, I would have been the one who texted, […]

Tonight we spent our family time going to see the movie, “Earth.”  It’s really beautiful.  Amazing, inspiring earth images.  It was also pretty darn sad.  Watching the reality that some cute little baby animal has to die so that some other cute baby animal & their family can survive.  No worries about your kiddos ~ […]

I’ve been reading Stephen King’s hillarious and irreverent memoir on writing.  (My husband thinks old Stevie is charming me as watches me smile & giggle my way through it).  Anyway, he talks about how he was formed into a writer, not made.  He talks about needing some basic skill sets to be a good writer.  […]

Ladies, what would you get in a fist fight for?  I’m not sure why but last night at 3am I was awake & contemplating if there was any good reason I’d get in a fist fight?  Or even a wrestle match.  A fist fight, of course, assumes I actually know what to do with my […]
