Drama sucks the life out of me

Lately I’ve been faithfully watching re-runs of shows like The Golden Girls and Facts of Life. It accomplishes a few things: It’s a good shot of nostalgia that takes me back to simpler, happier times. The shows crack me up. (It’s especially rare for me not to laugh out loud at least once during...

Lesson Learned: How to destroy a friendship

Right before Christmas, I had an unfortunate situation happen. I got into a friendship-ending fight with someone I’ve known since 1999. In hindsight, we had been trying to make the relationship more than it was for quite a while. We really should’ve let it be one of those that just sort of quietly drifted...

Featured Friday: The Pendants & Magnets of Fun, Funky, Warm & Fuzzy

My sister Dinell recently opened an Etsy shop called Fun, Funky, Warm & Fuzzy. I’m giving it an “F” —for Fabulous! Yes, she’s my kin, and I’m supposed to be encouraging and supportive. You may think that’s why I’m writing about her pendants and magnets for Featured Friday. You’d be thinking wrong. She did...

I won so much more than a trophy

Okay, so I didn’t even win the trophy from my tennis match. I ended up coming in third. However, I still emerged a winner nonetheless. CONFIDENCE & SELF-ESTEEM People who know me might be surprised to hear me describe myself as shy. But I really am. I often hear people saying how outgoing and...

Confession: I’m addicted to the Golden Girls

I have a confession: I’m addicted to the Golden Girls. I must be. I swear I’m suffering from withdrawals. For the longest time I watched them before I went to bed. Then the Hallmark Channel changed their time and instead of coming on at 10 p.m., they don’t come on until 11 p.m. on...

Why do so many of my husband’s friends assume I’m bad for his soul?

I’m starting to get a complex. The other day one of my husband’s friends questioned my spiritual stability. It’s all because of Haunt Jaunts, my other blog, the travel blog for restless spirits, and my penchant for traveling to haunted places. Oh, and the small matter that I don’t claim any particular religion. This...

Advising a girlfriend about boyfriend problems

Today my good friend needed me to be a good friend. She’d had a pretty major, potentially relationship ending, blowup with her boyfriend. Hearing a friend cry, whether it’s because of a situation like this, or because they’ve just had a bad day kills me. I hate hearing my friends upset. I wanted to...

What happens when your husband conspires with your friends

Wayne and I have entered a disturbing new phase of our marriage. Disturbing for me anyway. Lately he’s become partners in crime with my friends. I never know what kind of fast ones they might pull on me these days. It started about a year ago. My friends Tracie and Brenda coerced him into...
