Quarantine

Well, Life has once again decided to throw me a curve ball. My darling husband has an offer for a new job –in Australia. He’s been hell bent on finding a way to live abroad. He hasn’t really even cared where. Last year, right around this same time in fact, he was trying to...

What would your Pina Colada personal ad say?

The other day as I was driving, Escape (The Pina Colada Song) came on. That song has always made me uncomfortable, yet it’s also charmed me. At its essence, it’s a couple in a rut. Clearly. He may have been perusing the personal ads, but his “lovely lady” actually placed one. Yet, he saw...

The other morning as I was driving to aqua zumba I was listening to the radio. The DJs were talking about celiac disease. One of them had been recently diagnosed with it and she was pretty upset about it. One of her co-hosts wanted to know how she even knew something was wrong. She said she...

white lies

When I wrote about a few lessons I’ve learned after 25 years with Wayne, I listed number 7 as: “White lies can be blessings.” My friend Jade left a comment saying it was one of the ones she didn’t agree with, but joked to ask her again in 20 years. I hope her and...

In the name of love: Enduring the U2 concert

July 8, 2011
By

Last Saturday U2 played Nashville and we had tickets to the show. I was not all that excited. Not because I don’t like U2. I do. It’s just that as I’ve gotten older I’m less inclined to like crowds, and I knew we were going to be smack dab in the middle of an...

How do I feel about possibly moving to Chile?

June 30, 2011
By

When I wrote the post about how we might be moving to Chile, I did so for a couple of reasons. One, because acknowledging it with words made it more real and would maybe make it less scary. Two, since it’s only in the beginning phases, I was hoping to maybe jinx it by talking about it.  Yes,...

From my late teens into my early twenties, I had one vision of my future and one vision only: married to Wayne and living in Phoenix, Arizona. All of that came to pass and life was good. Well, there was one other component to that dream: being a successful writer. Even that’s come to...

As I’ve admitted before, one of my guilty pleasures is watching some of the Real Housewives franchises. Last night was the season finale of the Real Housewives of Orange County. Thank heavens. This season of the RHoOC was painful to watch. In case you don’t watch, here’s a quick rundown: When the season started, Vicky...

Lessons Learned: Loving in spite of, and despite, his Life Views

May 16, 2011
By

Last week I spent a lot of time trying to make Wayne understand that Costanza though he may be, I love him in spite of it. In the post I wrote about why he acts that way, I said it’s all because of his Life View . We all have different ways of viewing...

George Costanza - so sexy, such a coward!

Last Thursday after my Nalta team’s tennis match (I also play on a USTA team), some of my teammates and I headed out to lunch. As usual, we got to sharing our funny stories about our marriages. I don’t recall exactly how it all came up. I commented about one of our trips, Julie...
