As a little kid, we traveled five or more times a year. Some trips were short to moderate car rides. Other trips were transatlantic flights. There was one constant on all our family trips.

I’m a Hot Mess

…or at least I was last week and the beginning of this week. Let’s see what happened to me: I had chills leading to mild flu-like symptoms. Developed a hacking, deep in my chest, yucky cough. Had a case of constipation that was so painful. Add in hacking coughs and you can get a...

Retirement Is a Long Way Off…Or Is It?

December 13, 2011
By

As a 40-something, retirement seems far off. I’m not ready to retire. Heck. I’m barely back to work after some years off as a stay-at-home mom. Now that I have been back in the workforce for a couple of years, I suppose I should give retirement more thought and consideration. But isn’t planning for...

Crossing Stuff Off the Holiday List Is So Much Fun with @Zaarly

I’m the worst person to buy for. I buy few clothes for myself as my tastes and specifications are very limited. I can search racks and racks at a clothing store and find only one or maybe two items that I can tolerate. I don’t play video games. I don’t listen to music on...

Aren’t You Glad This Is Not Your Mother-in-Law??

December 2, 2011
By

Is it me? I know it is not me. Could anyone — woman or man — watch this clip and not feel absolutely contempt for this woman? I’m sure you have heard of Khalood? She’s the mother-in-law of all mothers in law. I saw on Monster-in-Law and Dr. Phil. Yeah, not so much watching...

Holiday Gift Guide: Keeping Up with Kids, Work, Home with HTC Rhyme

My workday is unpredictable. Some days my mornings start bang on time. I put all three kids on three buses with everything that each could possibly need for the day — backpacks, books, lunchboxes, etc. — and head down to my office to work without a problem. Oh, how I love those days! Other...
