So I finish work at about 5:00 p.m. Whew. Except I have an audition at 7:00 p.m. – and the theater is about ½ hour away. So I have 1 ½ hours to: Make dinner for me and husband Eat dinner Figure out what to do with my hair Do makeup Figure out what to…
The attorneys all arose from their weekend with a frenzy of work they all needed done NOW. First up, a partner, who had sent me a scan after closing on Friday of a huge flipping lease – 22 sheets, but it’s double-sided so it is 44 pages of work. No problem. Only, the partner decided…
This day was so crappy – not awful – just crappy, that it will take me three days to get it out of my system. First, the day actually started out okay. After my shower, my darling husband brought me a delicious cup of coffee just the way I like it; and his cat, Leo,…
That is the question. I went gray fairly early, which makes sense, my Dad did (although he fought it briefly with Grecian Formula – holy crap – the head full of shoe polish look); and my Mom probably did (she dyed her hair into her 60s, but her younger brother had pure white hair before…
I know I just bitched and moaned about how being just a bit taller than average is a pain in the ass; but our trip to Bellevue showed me how those extra inches can be a blessing. The bed in our hotel room was so fucking high! Sitting on the edge, my feet did not…
I’ve been in Bellevue, Washington. My husband was attending an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) conference, and I tagged along. As usual, the weather in the Seattle area was gorgeous.

Getting ready for a trip. One of my least favorite things to do. Especially when we’re flying. When we’re driving, I can bring anything that will fit in the car, whether I’ll need it or not. So now the fun begins. What do I need to bring? What do I want to bring? What will…
I don’t like wearing bras much. However, not wearing a bra is going to be uncomfortable for me (and probably others, but fuck them). I got big old saggy fat lady boobies. Sad to say, I have always had big old saggy fat lady boobies – even as a sweet young thing (as the picture…
My dear husband owns (and drives) an old car – 1983 Toyota Corolla, which he loves dearly. This is not a pristine vehicle. It has been well-used and well-loved for 30+ years. However, the engine runs just fine. So, we live in California, so it is time to smog the vehicle. When he takes his…
From time to time, I add chia seeds to my food. Yes, the seeds from those clay novelty items sometimes referred to as “Chia Pets”. No, I don’t buy the novelty items. I buy the seeds. You can get them from many sources. I get mine from Puritan’s Pride and I only get their brand.…
