Dear readers, I am indeed that lone unicorn/dummy that had never seen Goodfellas, until last night. Well, I made it through 3/4 before my DVD froze much in the same way of this menacing picture above. What I saw confirmed what I already knew: Goodfellas was all about Ray Liotta. Not for the faint of…

Last Sunday as I headed out to work, my car would not accelerate at a reasonable pace. I had to press down to the car floor to reach 45 miles an hour. The situation had me spooked, because I was with my daughter, and it had me fearful for the life of my 10 year…

With Spring time in full bloom (yes, I went there), there is an overall feeling of renewal in me. The hope for better things on the horizon is palpable. To quote one of my OG movies, West Side Story, “Something’s coming…” and I’m ready for it to be great. Speaking of better things, have you…

Anyone else out there need a pep talk on the eve of returning to work? Not to be mistaken for the Sunday Blues, but equally needed are post-vacay pep talks. I’m in need of one if anyone wishes to send a comment before tomorrow. So, I’ve been on staycation over Spring Break, and while I…

Life is busy and hectic at times. Once in a while in work life, you cross paths with a co-worker, and you engage in random small talk. Small talk about life, family, work. You never know at the time how these small impressions can build and help you see inside someone’s outside world. The little…

Last night, I went to sleep pissed off. Just before bed, my daughter made a remark to me about my nose being big, followed by a remark about my body being big. Note: I know they are both big. That’s OK. I lit into her about my body not being her business. That if she…

It has been advised that my elder badass mom should no longer drive. The situation, while tough on her and her independence, had me thinking about my feelings about driving. I don’t like it. If I ever hit PowerBall, I would most likely hire a personal driver, preferably one that would also enjoy cooking me…

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to post about my OG first love: my mom. My mom just celebrated her 82nd birthday, which is no doubt a privilege and a blessing. Recently, I shared that my mom is not well. And while I will go into it further on another post, today I…

Me and after an 11-month sabbatical: my period!!! Pausing for a reaction. Just when I thought I could frame my Menopause flag, Flo had other plans. Up again goes my perimenopause flag firmly in place. Please note the differences. While I had grown accustomed to not having cramps or a big supply of tampons on…

I love Sundays, especially when I’m not working and am off with my husband and daughter. Correction: I love Sundays until about 4:30 pm. No matter what I’m doing, whether I am enjoying a full day of lounging or power cleaning or fill in the blanking, 4:30 pm brings my doomsday thinking. Oh, no. It’s…
