N@50: Give me my remote!

This is the second post in my Newlywed at 50 series. The topic is the television and its remote. In the years that I lived alone as an adult, I have always had several televisions. In my last house — 3 bedrooms — I had four televisions. Yes, that's overkill, but they were my friends. I would have them all on at the same time, on different channels, too, and could easily tune them all out. I guess I had them on to keep the house from being so quiet.

Now fast forward to life as a married w...

Over the course of our relationship, I have learned a lot. Mostly about myself. I'm a kind person but I do like to have my way and my...

World's Worst Blogger

I admit it. I'm a bad blogger. When a lot is going on with me, I don't blog. When I have time to blog, I don't have anything to say.

If things work out as planned, I'll be blogging again in the New Year. Some of the subjects I'll address are life as a newlywed at 50 (yes, the hubby has agreed I can do this) and my recent contract negotiations. Both are pretty juicy so stay tuned.

In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving. Take care of yourself and remind the folks around you how much they m...
