This is a dreary, icky, melancholy day. It is the week of Thanksgiving and what is on my mind most is that I miss my Aunt Tammie. Her birthday is November 28th, and so she is on my mind. She died at the age of 37, car accident. My dad, her big brother, died when [...]

I just love this show! A new episode will air tonight. Most television shows that are highly promoted prior to debut don’t live up to the hype and end up being disappointing. This one is an exception. The cast is so talented! Anyone who hasn’t given it a chance should check it out!

I was reminded of this little adventure while talking to a friend the other day….. A girl friend and I were in San Francisco a few years ago. This was my second trip to San Fran, but it was a very different experience than the first go round. The first time, we knew locals and [...]

My friend Leslee inspired this post. She asked me to write about an “a-ha” moment for a click story on her blog Waiting for the Click I was married for 10 years, almost 11 including the separation, but I don’t count that. I won’t go into how or why I got myself into the marriage [...]
Authentic Anyone?

Okay, so one thing I really want from people… is for them to say what they mean and mean what they say. Is that too much to ask? Gheesh. I appreciate a brutally direct person more than one sugar-coating bullshit any day of the week. Now, I realize this goes against my Southern upbringing. I [...]

We go to the beach every weekend, or at least that has been the routine for the summer of 2009. I went to the beach every summer throughout my childhood, and I loved it! But then I missed it for many years… I mean really missed it! I always treasured everything about the beach experience, [...]
