It’s the price you pay!


Yesterday I “thanked” a Tulsa police officer for giving me a ticket. Oh yes I did. It went mostly like this: I was leaving Aldi grocery store . Aldi is a food store for families such as mine. Basically I can get about 17 bags of groceries for the same price that I can buy […]

Lost but Found


Mischievous, no doubt you are. Mismatched teeth, one big, one small, Pint-sized toes on thin, lanky legs Heaven-sent lashes, most certain a doll. Who gave you the choice? Who gave you the say? No one, that’s who. It just happened this way. So what is the answer? What makes it go? A million questions you ask, […]

What’s your brand?


I have a dear friend who is very ill. She has a message for everyone. It may sound simple. It may sound cliché. You may want to sweep it under the rug. I know she did years ago when I confronted her. I know a couple of other people in my life right now that […]

But this one thing I know…


“I’m pregnant and my husband is cheating and beats me .” “My druggie ex-husband has custody of my kids and I am fighting to get them back.” “My ex-husband told me that I do not have much longer to live and I have given up.” “My son is in jail.” ” My family member is […]

Woof…woof…..Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr………….. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR……. YELP! YELP!!! The most horrific sound came from outside. I knew it was our dog. But who could […]

Hasta la vista boob tube!


My kids slay me. 17 degrees and a north wind of about 40 MPH, the first snow of the year and the “boy” wants to go to school in a t-shirt. I stepped outside and froze my kittens right off in 2.2 seconds. Then the other kid who is even more ridiculous tries to go […]

This blog was viewed about 18,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many […]

Eat More Sushi.


So this year, instead of promising myself I am going to have a full-body make-over,  complete with new thighs and minimal arm “flab” by the year of 2013…. I am just going to be more realistic and do the things that I love. The things that make me…me. The things that are realistic. The things […]

Gonna wash that gray right outta my hair!


This week I have learned two things about myself: I have claws even a momma bear would back away from…and  I can use a $7 box of color to cover up my $80 highlights.  The revelation of these two things have given me a new lease on life. In about 6 months I will be […]
