The Thong

I swore I never understood women wearing a thong.  That was many years, and some where around sixty pounds, ago. Nowadays, at the ripe age of being closer to 50 than to 40, I have discovered the lace thong.  It has become one of my absolutely favorite pieces of undergarments. I admit this transformation was… Continue reading The Thong

“It’s Complicated” – Movie Review

I have to admit that I am a Meryl Streep fan and use to be a big Alec Baldwin fan also.  After going to see “It’s Complicated” yesterday, I am not so sure about being fans of either of them any longer. I also, willingly, admit that “It’s Complicated” was probably not the best choice… Continue reading “It’s Complicated” – Movie Review

So here is Christmas 1998 and a couple from 1999.  I am sure there are more but these are… Continue reading Christmas 1998-99

Holiday Decorating

I admit, I am not the one who decorates instead of shopping on the day after Thanksgiving.  I do have an artificial tree but that doesn’t mean it gets attention any sooner than a live tree would. This year, for whatever reason, I have not decorated as I would normally.  Things are slow to get… Continue reading Holiday Decorating

When Do We Settle?

I was having a discussion with a friend the other day when two disturbing questions – at least disturbing to me – came up in the conversation.  When do we face reality? When do we let the dream go? My take is that we never give up.  We always have our dreams.  Dreams are like… Continue reading When Do We Settle?

I hate waiting.  I am not waiting on anything for me at the moment but to hear from a good friend how an interview went.  You would think this waiting would be easier but let me explain, by a trip down memory lane, how much I hate waiting. As a young child, I would look… Continue reading Waiting Again
