GUIL-TEETH

A friendly alert blazed through my phone which was buried in my purse, setting off reminder tones of an upcoming appointment I scheduled three months ago. It always amazes me how fast time flies, especially when you’re having a blast eating foods and drinking beverages that have been placed on the “do not eat” list […]

The Rush Hour Chew!

Defensive Concentration – I’m convinced the evening rush hour is more intense and extreme than morning rush hour. I’m more on edge and resistant to line cutters and traffic signal violators in the evening than I am in the morning.

Temporarily Out of Order

Have you ever wondered what really happened behind the door marked with a red “temporarily out of order” sign? It’s a major inconvenience, especially for someone like me who waits until her internal dam can no longer bare the pressure of all the ice coffee drinks, two bottles of water and ice cold colas from […]

Elevator Etiquette

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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. […]
