So today is my dear husband’s birthday. He said something about it yesterday, which reminded me, and always being the first to point out my own d’oh – I admitted I had totally forgotten and what would he like for his birthday that could be arranged/obtained in less than 24 hours. Mind you, I did…
My husband and I will never be accused of being trend setters or living on the cutting edge of cool. We’re not even living on the dull edge of tepid. We recently watched the remake of Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Curtis. I have heard Lindsay Lohan’s performance in Freaky Friday referenced as…
Yesterday, I had the pure joy of having a long chat with someone who touched my life briefly when I was in elementary school. When I was in 4th grade, my mom and step-father bought a house across town which meant a new school for me (and my sister, but that’s her story). So there…
Yesterday, it’s getting close to quitting time when one of the lawyers sends me a dictation – a RUSH. Got to have it NOW. Lawyer’s are like that. So I load up the dictation, connect the USB foot pedal, and grab my pink SkullCandy earbuds. I am ready to rock this thing. Except – OW…
Yesterday, I was supposed to meet this guy who is working on a CD and Showcase to put in some background vocals. I was supposed to be there at 8 p.m. At 8:20 he called to ask where the fuck I was. I was sitting at home in front of my computer without a clue.…

Last night I went to see the always darling and lovely Ruth E. Stein in Sister Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class at the Limelighters Theatre in Gilroy, California. For the longest time, I stopped going to see local theater. I didn’t stop because South Bay Community Theater isn’t good – on the contrary. We have…
Or is it virii? (Okay, as a Registered Medical Transcriptionist, I know it is viruses.) Anyhow, every now and then Mozilla Firefox takes a dive on me. Actually, it takes a dive on me fairly often, but I close down the process with Task Manager and can usually go right back in. Not this time.…
How do I know my Mom would approve? Because before I started, I emptied the dishwasher; and it is full again. This is how my Mom cooked. The difference is, there is a goodly chance that my meal will be kind of yummy. Cheese ravioli with lean ground beef, diced tomatoes and tomato soup, onion,…
