What better way to start writing again then to drop some knowledge since it’s Black History Month? On this day in 1960 four Black students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University staged a sit-in at the Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro. Men like this made it possible, through their peaceful demonstrations, for my [...]
This week I am up to my eyeballs in stuff. Stuff like taking the kids swimming, going to the water park, playing more tennis than I’ve ever played in my life, getting tennis elbow, riding bikes, baking pies, getting in my 2 hours of writing each day, and generally getting ready to return to work. [...]
There’s not much that stumps me in my job and I’ve embraced humility enough to know that I don’t always know the answers to the complicated messes that introduce themselves to me like a stranger at the grocery store. “Oh, hello. I’m the awkward beef cow tongue sitting in plastic wrap in the frozen meat [...]
I wrote this two weeks ago and couldn’t bring myself to publish it. **************************** When you get a new job and you meet new co-workers and spend new time with them it’s normal for conversations to go from ‘Wow, we like the same things and I had no idea you were a Libertarian and did [...]
If I have to look at Oscar Wilde’s face one more time with his taunting, strong jaw and piercing eyes that say, “Write, damnit! Write!” then I may as well just throw my Kindle against the wall. It’s been collecting dust ever since I finished reading Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes 1 Tiny [...]
It’s official. I have been betrayed by milk. In all it’s delicious, creamy two percent-y goodness, it has gone against my body like a cereal killer. So I’m trying some new things. And I’m not happy about it one bit. The more I’m coming to realize that I can no longer drink milk or eat [...]
So, how’s the NaBloPoMo going? Is your MoJo still going? I’ll tell you what. When Mrs. Kennedy came up with this brainchild I was excited and I’m so happy to see some folks doing it along with me. I find my writing tends to speak more toward the ‘audience’ than normal. Remember the other day [...]
Here it is, Thursday night and I haven’t once remembered this week that it’s some sort of delurking week. You know what that means? You’re supposed to comment or something. Perhaps you’re supposed to go out and get those difficult-to-find Eggo Waffles. Or maybe you are to do some jumping jacks every time you read [...]
Here is a sampling of the purses we’ve received (for those that don’t know, the details are here) and even one of the inspirational sayings that is attached to a bag. We’re opening shop this Thursday. We, the seven gals and I, are peeing are pants with excitement. Ok. That’s just me. I would never [...]
It occurred to me many years ago that my calling in life would be to offer advice. People seem to ask me or it quite often when they’re not asking me for spare change. Sometimes the advice or opinion people are looking for is easy enough to find. “No, those pants actually DO make you [...]
