Running on Empty

I hate running out of things. I guess everybody does, but some things/times are more inconvenient than others. A couple of weeks ago I was making no-bake cookies. The chocolate was heating on the stove, and almost to the boiling point, when I reached into the lazy Susan for oats and realized I didn't have … Continue reading Running on Empty →

I’m Not a Doctor…

Photo by Karolina Grabowska on Pexels.com “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV.” This line originated in a Vicks Formula 44 commercial with Chris Robinson (Dr. Rick Weber on General Hospital) assuring us that we couldn’t buy anything more effective. It’s a tagline that is still familiar to some, but it seems … Continue reading I’m Not a Doctor… →

What’s an Eyelash Between Strangers?

A few years back, I was out to lunch with a friend. We were dining at a trendy little place with nice décor, appointed to replicate a sidewalk cafe. I cannot tell you what my lunch date ordered, but I will never forget what was on my plate. I ordered a spinach and cheese quiche … Continue reading What’s an Eyelash Between Strangers? →

Sue’s Extraordinary Playlist

Photo by Raka Miftah on Pexels.com The other day at work a colleague was telling me that she used to work in a music store. She recounted how she and her coworkers would talk excitedly about the future of music and how the day would come when you could come to the store and choose … Continue reading Sue’s Extraordinary Playlist →

Seven Ridiculous Things…

I’m a sucker for lists and I can’t resist clicking on links that want to share The Ten Best Books you’ll read this summer or Six Essential Steps to Financial Security. I do not care for the advertising trick of enticing readers with a list and then making them click NEXT for each item on … Continue reading Seven Ridiculous Things… →

I Love(d) the Nightlife

At home the other evening, I made a comment about running out to get something. I don’t even remember now what is was, or where I was thinking I might go. To the store for eggs? Local restaurant to make a burger pick-up? It doesn’t matter. What I do remember is my son saying, “You … Continue reading I Love(d) the Nightlife →

E-Clutter, It’s a Thing

I’ve written in the past about my struggle with stuff. When I need something (like a vaporizer) I want to have one handy. However, I don’t like having a lot of stuff around (hey, when was the last time we used this vaporizer?) and I don’t like clutter. Over the past couple years I’ve done … Continue reading E-Clutter, It’s a Thing →

The Introvert Inside Me

Nine months into this pandemic while others are climbing the walls wanting to go somewhere, see someone, or do something, I still look forward to...

A Few of My Favorite Things

I was scrolling mindlessly through Facebook the other day, wondering where all the funny things have gone. I love a cute doxie pic (they consume half the posts in my feed) and I’m a sucker for a good inspirational post, but it just felt like I haven’t seen anything amusing in a while. Then, this … Continue reading A Few of My Favorite Things →

Where Are You Christmas?

Photo by Jonathan Borba on Pexels.com Last weekend, I was sitting in my comfy chair with my laptop in my lap (funny how some things are so aptly named) knowing I wanted to blog about Christmas, but not sure quite what I wanted to say. I’ve heard a lot of people talking about how it … Continue reading Where Are You Christmas? →
