You know that game “I Never?” I’m the absolute worst at it. Mainly because I’ve never done anything outlandish or too illegal or controversial. I avoid the game at all costs without fail, because at the ripe old age of 41, I still end up looking like a lame Puritan. It’s embarrassing. I mean,…Continue Reading

The Note
Should I put it on her car? ********************** Hi: As you know, we (the moms on this street) have an issue with how fast you drive down our cul de sac. We know that you feel that because you are driving the speed limit, you are being safe. However, we want to…Continue Reading
Better to Be Happy, Than Right, Christine Baranski
I don’t often enter into chick fights. In fact, I tend to avoid altercations altogether if I can at all help it. I’m a people pleaser in that way, and it totally blows. That said, there have been a few times I’ve had my rankles up, talked some smack and got ready to rumble. One…Continue Reading

I Did Math!
I have a guest post up over here. It is probably the only cost comparison I will ever do in my entire life. And a teaser: I get to give away a holiday dinner package! For people to eat! There will be eating by people. Of the holiday package. Of course, someone will need…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #82: Is Almost 41
I’ve long been frustrated by my astrological sign. As a November 22 birthday, I dangle on the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius, and oft wish to be one or the other so I’m not loafing about in no man’s land. I feel identity-less, especially when people say, “He’s such a Taurus,” or “Well, what…Continue Reading
Now’s Not Good
Toots: Mom? There’s something I can’t tell you. Me: OK. Don’t tell me right now. Toots: Enrique tried to kiss me last week at school. Me: And? Toots: I told him it wasn’t a good time. Me: When did you tell him would be a better time? Toots: Later.…Continue Reading
Sunday’s Music
I used to do this Playlist thing on here, and I miss it, so today I am resurrecting it for my own amusement. Recently, I decided to give a listen to some “world” music and other tunes completely foreign to my element because I wanted to jump out of my skin a little. I…Continue Reading
It All Comes Back Around
Back in 1996, I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago. I had lived in LA before, from 1991-1993, but in the married-with-children Valley, and as a young single woman, I vowed never to make that mistake again. So this time around, I found a studio apartment in Brentwood, bought a used Lexus, and tried to…Continue Reading
Hello Everyboddeeee!
Seems I’ve been outed. Not gonna say by who, but her name rhymes with this link. It took me by surprise too, until I was called into the living room last night (unceremoniously I might add) and asked to explain my blog to a room full of woman who know me only as Toots’ mom.…Continue Reading
Incommunicado
I’ve been having blogging issues lately. Some existential, some not. I especially hate the way I’ve neglected my very own PROMPTuesday and after much reflection, believe it’s because I don’t want to do much reflection. More specifically, I haven’t really wanted to plumb the depths of my subconscious. Or, more realistically, just haven’t had the…Continue Reading
