The crunch of footsteps schlepping through snow alerted me to the UPS delivery. I did a mental run down of my recent buying habits and, nope, I couldn’t come up with any expected deliveries. Huh. The box, left like a Trojan horse just outside the door, beckoned. It was rectangular and smallish, but filled with possibilities. I brought it in,… Read More
Hour Cats
“What if,†I wondered, “I took my camera and followed our cats around for an hour just to see what they do? Would the resulting photos be amazing?â€Â The idea fizzled when I realized how much time they spend: Sleeping Licking their nether regions Sit staring at me blankly whenever a camera gets within fifty feet of them Sleeping I scrapped… Read More
I AM Relaxed
Tiny needles, inserted strategically on my body, made me look like a living voodoo doll. The mosquito-like pricks of pain quickly subsided, but I needed to be aware incase I accidently moved and dislodged one or two. I tried to relax into the moment, but it wasn’t happening. The acupuncturist, Diane, is excellent at what she does. My current issues… Read More
Lip Service
I slid the container of pet odor/urine remover across the counter. The cashier, a woman about my age, looked at the product and then me. “Oh oh. This can’t be good.†I sighed with the weight and frustration that comes with needing to buy urine remover. “We have a cat with issues.†The cashier nodded in a knowing way. “I… Read More
Sometimes You Don’t Need A Mirror To See Yourself
I saw this on a friend’s email and burst out laughing. Sigh.
My Boobs Are Healthy
If it is possible to smoosh my boobs more tightly, contort my upper body more painfully, and endure the unrealistic command to “relax,†I cannot imagine it. Reluctantly I agreed to have a mammogram lately, and my breasts still hurt. So does my faith in our traditional medical system. I’m one of these rebellious women who question the health benefits… Read More
Small Towns, Big Hearts, Part 2
Noooo! I had minutes to run my errands because the repair man was due at our house…sometime. Don’t you just hate those days where you are held hostage? The repair person will be there sometime between Nov. and 2016. Well, that’s how it feels anyway. I had about thirty minutes to get into town, complete my tasks, and get back… Read More
Jiggly Thighs? Pffft
The following quote, by Anne Lamott, was the best part of my day. I have been guilty for far too long of allowing my imperfections to keep me from living life with joy and curiosity. How about you? Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or… Read More
Hey Baby
I saw the following video the other day and sighed. How many of us have been in her shoes? I certainly have, and I don’t consider myself some delicious feminine sexual morsel wandering the streets for male attention. My mode of operandi, for this very reason, is to walk with my head and eyes down. I shrink so that I… Read More
Three In Bed
Okay, let me say upfront that I do not consider myself a persnickety woman. When my husband and I travel I ask for two things…a motel/hotel/B&B that is clean, and that is safe. That’s not too much is it? Clean and safe! If my sweetie really wants to make me happy the accommodations will have a private bathroom that includes… Read More
