Carriefully, I Took The Quiz
Last night, as I was tucking myself in, exhausted from the busy week, I saw my friend Scott post on Facebook that he got Charlotte in the “Sex and The City” online quiz. I don’t ever take these celebrity quizzes, but this one intrigued me because I’ve always thought of myself as Carrie (as do […]

My Least Favorite Question: “What Are We Having For Dinner?”
It goes without saying that in most homes—most, not all—it’s the woman who does the cooking. (I realize there are exceptions to this rule because I know women who are lucky enough to have their husbands cook dinner, so ignore this if you’re one of those…) Therefore, it’s typically the woman’s job to “create” the […]

Happy 99 Cent Anniversary!
Good morning, friends! Today marks the two-year anniversary of the publication of “Beneath the Mimosa Tree.” I know, I know…this is OLD news. Yes, that may be true. But for me, it never will be old news. I won’t ever forget the way may hand shook as I hit the “publish” button and sent it […]

Nerd Alert: I’m Getting Excited
I can’t help it…I’m a writing nerd, and I’m a little excited. I see the finish line…it’s there. I’m nearing completion of novel #2. The ending is already written, and my characters have grown on me…in fact, so much so, that I’m toying with my love triangle. It’s funny how in the midst of writing, […]

Face the [Mon]day Salesperson…With Enthusiasm
Mondays: Does anyone love a Monday morning, when the alarm goes off and you have to face another week of work and responsibilities? It’s not likely, especially when you’ve had a great weekend. But, Mondays greet you 52 times a year, and they stare you down, as you wonder what the week will bring. You […]

Random Thoughts for Today
Saturdays…I find myself doing chores, running errands, cleaning, and doing projects around the house. It’s also a time where my thoughts run wild. I think about aging a lot, love, friends, family and life in general. These quotes are all memorable, and I like to consider them one cupcake at a time. Filed under: On […]

My Favorite Magnet
Those of you who know me, this about sums it up. There really is little need to write much on the subject, because this magnet speaks volumes. I love the outdoors, the beach, the water, the river… But not camping. I prefer the modern amenities, and I can commune with nature under the stars on […]

Never Before Have These Words Meant So Much: WELCOME SPRING
* * * All day today, I lamented about the crappy weather. If you’re a snow lover, I’m sorry. I like snow, but not this late in March. Then today, we experienced pouring rain. I sat in over an hour’s worth of traffic on my ride home from work; my ride in to work wasn’t […]
