Do you ever get the blahs? Where really, you could just lie on the couch all day and watch tv? Or if you were really raising the bar you’d read all day, not answer your phone, eat chocolate frosting and drink too much wine? Naw, that was this weekend, not today. Oh wait, I’m a [...]
It first caught my eye when a librarian was putting the book back on the shelves. It was something about that beautiful, warm sunset gold color against a geometric design that reminded me of Frank Llloyd Wright and it echoed the only kind of stained glass that I am fond of. I just happened to [...]
A dear friend invited me over to have a play date, a glass of wine, and hopefully a slip in the hot tub. I can assure you it wasn’t as sexy as it may sound. We were just hoping to catch a moment of relaxation and bubbles while the kids ran around. In short, it [...]

…the answers to the most asked questions of the night.
So I went to my 20 year high school reunion this past weekend. Really there was no reason not to go. It was within driving distance and I was going to share the hotel room with a friend. After all, I was reminded over and over [...]
