Friends, a moment of silence, please. We had a great tragedy occur in my household yesterday, and I need all the sympathy you can muster. I have discovered… I can’t say it… give me a minute… a gray hair! My darling husband confirmed, perhaps a little too gleefully, that the offending hair was, indeed, gray. […]

Car buying is never a pleasant experience, but I’ve discovered the secret formula to making it about as painless at it’s ever going to get. Internet shopping.

I’m sore, and it’s all my adorable husband’s fault. You see, it’s his job to do the yard work. It’s always been that way, despite the fact that at every opportunity, he delights in pointing out the other women in our neighborhood who mow their lawns. I don’t know how to turn on the lawn […]

I’ve already done my reflections on age here, so no mushy sentimentalism about growing older will be found in this location today. Let me just say that 34 was a great year in many, many ways, and I hope 35 turns out to be its equal. It would be greedy of me to ask for […]
