I have come to realize how much I like to work hard. Partly so that I can treat myself to some of the wonderful recent #$%^ing spring purchases I have made. Partly because it just feels so good. There is a nifty little trick when you are self employed- if you don't work - guess what, you don't … [Read more...]
Horseshoe Resort Girlfriend Weekend-join me?
Fun and relaxing events are always difficult to justify in a busy life. There is never a good time to take a break. We women often give to ourselves last. If you have a family, going away means you wipe yourself out trying to make your departure and absence seamless. If you work, turning off … [Read more...]
the unsexy, the unfun, and the uninteresting things I buy for myself

3 men and a cake
I have told you about how I LOVE when my daughter says to me " Mom, I never know who is going to be here next for dinner. It is like living in an amusement park. Every minute is full of surprises." Well, that only motivates me to try harder. A few years ago, we began having Wednesday night … [Read more...]

One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a … [Read more...]

pranking- it should be a national sport

I thought you might like it. I told it to a group of 3 men and they loved it. Not sure if it gets … [Read more...]

my indian name is foot-in-mouth
The other morning my daughter came into my room to find me still in bed "What is the matter, momma?" she said. I don't ever stay in bed, especially on a school morning. I was feeling a bit off. I had had to make a speech the night before at a party for someone really important to me. But I had … [Read more...]
