Mother’s Day Is Begging For Some Creativity
Hi precious ladies! I was thinking about past Mother’s Days, and really am floored by how much repetition there is with the gifts, the going out to dinner, and cards. Though I’m happy to unwrap anything with my name on it, I’ve often wondered why consumers get stuck in the “what’s expected” rut when it comes to holiday shopping. I mean, why do moms always get flowers on MD…why not a gift-certificate for rock-climbing or for a tattoo? And, what’s up with the traditional MD card that is way over-the-top in it’s description of a mom who doesn’t exist…on this planet anyway! If I could live up to just one of those “You are the best mom in the world” statements, I would have a much better self-esteem, and maybe even write a book or something.

The Best Anti-Aging Tip: Get Over It!
What is it this time…a wrinkle, knee creak, advanced loss of close-up vision (AKA the trombone syndrome)? Look, if you can change one part of aging, then go right ahead and be my guest. But here’s the real deal: it’s going to happen no matter what face cream you use or work out you do.

Madeline Is Back!
A study conducted by UCLA’s Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

The Joys of Rain
If you live in a part of the country (or world) that typically gets a lot of rain then you will understand what I’m about to say. I live in Indiana; and though we get our fair share of precipitation throughout the year, I don’t remember it being monsoon-ish for so many days in a row! I’m starting to think that I’ve been translated to a tropical rain forest or worse, Seattle.

Mommy Mishaps
We were in the doctor’s office playing with the cardboard puzzles and he suddenly sprang off the chair, ran around in circles, waving his tiny little hand behind his butt as he was giggling and saying, “I farted mommy! I farted!”

PMS…Problem Making Sense
OK, my darlings, I might have to re-neg on last week’s post about trying to make peace with Mondays. I’m in a rather stinker of a mood today and have no time to run from it or hide under my fluffy blanket. So, here I am with my jaw clenched, facing the music…Monday and the computer.

Oh, No, You Didn’t…
Bonjour! And for anyone who might not know that is French for hello, all I can say is, good, Lord, are you living in a box? Speaking of being in small spaces, I have a fun story for you today; it’s a real gas. It Starts with a tornado warning and a home without a basement.

Ambien Antics or Monday Madness?
Why do you think that Mondays have gotten such a bad reputation? Is it the fact that your body refuses to get out of weekend mode by practically convulsing when the alarm clock goes off?

Be Scared…Very Scared

Multiple Personality Order
Howdy from my world! As I was reading Kellie’s post about perfectionism yesterday, a thought came to mind. You know that saying “it’s not about being perfect but making the most out of what you have”? Well, I definitely know I’m not perfect, nor do I try to be…God knows the truth of that.

Cold Remedies…To Die For?
Greetings Earthlings and anyone else who might be tuning in, this past week has been a doozy. The cold from hell decided to take up residence in my body and is still fighting for the penthouse suite – automatic weapons, armored cars, mob connections…

What’s A Cowlick?
Speaking of time, I’ve always been one to be late. No, I mean always late; my relatives and friends have made a covenant. They actually plan (or conspire) gatherings with the understanding that I’ve been told to be there at least a half hour before everyone else.

Oh Glorious Motherhood…
I’ve been in such a mothering mode…now what that means to you might be completely different from what it means to me. In my case it’s all about the attention to detail…knowing where they are, what they’re doing, who they’re with, what they’re playing with….and so on.
