A Call for Order…Is it me, or should there be a list of rules and guidelines posted on the wall beside all elevators? I crack up internally every morning while I’m waiting for the elevator in the parking garage. There is always that one employee that has to release an aroma of ignorance or unjustified […]
Holiday Cheer, Blues and Renewals!
January 2, 2012 by
Reflect, Recap and Renew — That’s what most of us do, or at least should do after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, just as we prepare to bring in a brand new year. December is the month that my procrastination really rips through my hidden perfection as I haven’t mastered the art […]
Tardy…but Hair!
December 20, 2011 by
My seven year-old son was ecstatic about his role in his school’s Christmas play, and the morning of his performance was the same morning I would reveal my new hairstyle. I morning conversation included his stage fright, his cool outfit and his calming muse…me; okay, okay, and his dad. Sonny Boy and I agreed that […]
Buffet in the Church Pews!
June 21, 2011 by
Snacks & Praise — Every Sunday morning around 10:30am, an imbalanced churchgoer dressed for her wardrobe ordinance of street gear and hi-top tennis shoes hastens with the assistance of her cane to perfect her crooked glide, as she stumbles into her favorite pew. Those who are visiting give quick glances and smiles in an orderly […]
Hygiene and Hand Washing, It’s a Requirement!
June 17, 2011 by
I’m often amazed at grown individuals (mostly women) who refuse to utilize the free water and available soap (sometimes scented) to wash their hands after spending a few moments alone in the bathroom stall. It’s none of my business what they have done in those individual stalls, but it becomes my business when they walk […]
Aiming for Perfection!
June 2, 2011 by
I aim for perfection in every aspect of my life — especially in the bathroom. I’m convinced there are too many constraints in the bathroom stalls at the workplace, that obstruct your ability to have a successful potty break? OK! Don’t judge, but I am about to reveal a slight imperfection about my socially flawed […]
10 Things Girlfriends Should Never Share!
May 23, 2011 by
To have a set of girlfriends you can rely on for support through every important milestone in our lives is a blessing. Even when you’re in need for a shopping spree, you have a set of girlfriends you will call to support your shoe addiction, or your pocketbook infatuation. Girlfriends share everything, sometimes too much. […]
Bathroom Stalls – Does Size Really Matter?
April 14, 2011 by
Is it me…or should there be mandatory size regulations for bathroom stalls? I believe routine potty time should exclude concussions. For the past few weeks, I’ve had a cloud of wonderment hovering over my head, trying to decipher the reason for my discomfort during my personal time of release. I know my head is big […]
Reality TV
October 24, 2010 by
If your life was a television show, would it be a comedy, drama, soap opera or documentary? Of course I would have to say my life on TV would be Dramoperadytary — a comedy/drama/soap opera/documentary all in one. The intro music to my show would probably change from day to day, depending on the type […]
The Art of Weakness
June 19, 2010 by
I have many weaknesses, and will shamefully admit that I am a softy for shoes. It may not be wise for me to volunteer this information and reveal that I wouldn’t be an easy target for someone to hold my valuables for ransom. See, I would be willing to let go of the precious items […]
