… I wish nothing but the best for you, too." ~ Adele "Someone Like You" Saturday morning dawned bright and early. A little too early as I'd been at Jen and Jeff's seeing their new place the night before (beautiful place I might add). I also had over 30 bags of shredded paper in the […]
Stuff I Could Not Make Up Even If I Tried
Little vignettes of things that have truly happened to me but aren't worth an entire dedicated post.

“What would you say to the one who got away?”
I saw this on a Facebook post from Etsy. It got me thinking about what I'd want to say. So since I am ALL about sharing, here's what I would say. For those who know me and have been around awhile, see if you know who I'm writing these to. 🙂 Dear California:Thank you for […]

Once upon an evening dreary, as I surfed weak and weary over many a webpage of forgotten lore…. Did you know Edgar Allan Poe's birthday was January 19th? It was. He was born in Boston in 1809. Now that you can add that to your bits of useless information for trivial trivia purposes…. And this […]
“I was looking for love in all the wrong places….
Looking for love in too many faces." ~ Waylon Jennings I knew the words to the infamous song long before I knew what they meant thanks to my father's undying love of country music. The older I get however, the closer to home the lyrics hit. As you well know by past blog posts, I […]

“Gossip is just news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.”
~ Liz Smith My thoughts have been rather scattered lately so I decided to embrace it and write a post based on the more interesting tidbits running rampant in my mind. I was getting my hair cut and colored on Friday when a young girl in high school came into the salon. She had white-blonde […]
“The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage…
… is that the two people are incompatible; that is, that one is male and the other female." – Anna Quindlen No, this isn't a Dipshit story. This is a story about ReTodded. Several weeks ago, I met a guy we'll call ReTodded. A few red flags: he was 47, his son was old enough […]
