Green-eyed Monster
A monster lives under my bed. I don’t like him, and I don’t want him there. But no matter what I do to try and get rid of him, he holds his ground. Just when I think I’ve driven him away for good, he growls again, reminding me that he’s been there all along. So [...]
Random Acts
My heart’s been warmed recently, with all the random acts of kindness I hear about in the media. It’s good to see this simple character trait becoming popular and trendy. No matter the results, it’s always good to treat others the way we’d want to be treated. But sometimes, these attempted good deeds can go [...]
My apologies . . .
I have a confession to make. It’s a secret I’ve held close to my heart for many years — all my adult life, really — though I suspect my close friends and family have long ago figured it out. I . . . oh, golly. I can’t bring myself to say it. It hurts to [...]
High Jump
I have come to the conclusion that I will never, ever fully understand the effects of testosterone on the male mind. This conclusion is based upon over four decades of intense, clinically based research and observation. Except for a brief respite during my college years, I have always lived with at least one male of [...]
Hungry
I’m starving. Despite the fact that I detest New Year’s Resolutions, I’ve put myself on a diet. During the holidays, I noshed on snickerdoodles, gingerbread men, pecan pie, cornbread dressing, chicken and dumplings, fudge, eggnog and just about every other delectable holiday treat you can think of. And now, I can’t fit into my clothes. [...]
Fifty Years
Half a century ago this week, my life was changed. That may sound a little strange, considering I wasn’t even born fifty years ago. I wasn’t even thought about. Still, if this momentous event hadn’t occurred five decades ago, I wouldn’t be sitting here typing these words to you. In fact, I wouldn’t be sitting [...]
Hemmed In
Our family has recently decided to become more cultured, more well-rounded, more creative. This summer, we auditioned as a family for the acclaimed musical presentation, “The Promise”. It was my daughter’s idea, and we decided it would give us something to do on a Saturday. We didn’t actually think we’d all make it. But lo [...]
Running in Circles
There is a famous football hero living at our house. Well, he’s not actually famous yet, but he will be. He told me so. He is eight years old, and someday he wants to play professional football for the team that has the coolest uniforms. He told me that, too. If the whole football thing [...]
Laugh ‘Til it Hurts . . .
Yesterday, Robin Bryce and I presented our Capture Me event for women of all ages to a great group of ladies. We had so much fun getting ready for the event, and even more fun at the actual event! Thought you might want to take a peek at what we did – click here to [...]
Mama Says
My mama is a true southern lady. She knows the difference between “a little ways,” and “down the road a piece.” She knows that you can face any crisis as long as your hair looks good. And if you go to her house, she’ll offer you a coke. But it might not be a product [...]
