Happy Women's Wednesday ladies. I have a gift for you! Yup, you're gonna thank me. I've done some research (so you don't have to). You no doubt know that Father's Day is this weekend. And whether the day is about your own dad, or the father of your kids, or your son who gave you... Continue Reading →

writer’s block?
I'm still a blogging newbie. I know this because this is my 26th post and I'm following more and more other blogs and some have been out there for years! Coincidentally, I'm also working on becoming a content / creative writer. For that, I will likely get assignments (500 words describing the benefits of flossing).... Continue Reading →
my second adulthood
So this is the week. For the first time in 39 years, I'll be unemployed -- more if you count high school and college jobs. But it won't be permanent. I like to say that Richie Coldcuts and I have a '2-career lifestyle'. So even though my first career in technology is ending (for now),... Continue Reading →
that Friday feeling
Ahhhhh Friday! Mid-day Friday is the best feeling. The polar opposite of Monday morning (or even late Sunday evening). Just a few things left to do before having that weekend-kickoff martini. I love Bombay Sapphire (is that bad?). Is it the blue bottle? I mean, it just looks like a vacation. And to me, a... Continue Reading →
ww – beauty for sale
Hi Ladies! Happy Women's Wednesday! I've been on a beauty journey lately. I've become much more aware of and interested in semi-permanent and permanent beauty treatments. At a young age - early twenties - I realized you should never, ever say NEVER! Every time I said "I would never do that", fate intervened, and... Continue Reading →
out of the mouths of babes
Unconditional love is an amazing thing. And baffling sometimes. The first time I understood unconditional love was when I had teenagers. Agree? They can be so frustrating, hateful, challenging, MEAN, irresponsible --- arghh! And yet, when they're yours, you still love them! Do you have kids? Do you love them with all your heart? You'd...

betcha didn’t know . . .
I don't know how many of you work in large companies. And maybe this goes on in smaller workplaces as well. Many times in my corporate life, we had 'team-building' events. They ran the gamut from 2 hours in a conference room, to a 4-day stay in a splashy hotel complete with daily gift bags,... Continue Reading →
when did THIS happen?
Seriously. You might not believe this, but up until a month or two ago, I was anti-social on social media! Sure I had a Facebook presence, but only to stay connected to kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, siblings. In fact, shockingly, I wasn't even 'friends' with Richie Coldcuts. It's true. So what changed? Well, I've always been a... Continue Reading →
ww – off my ‘regimen’
As a reminder, the 'ww' in the title means it's Women's Wednesday! Due to the 3-day weekend in the U.S., Wednesday really snuck up on me. I had intended to talk about skincare today. And I still will. But Memorial Day actually had a bad affect on my skincare regimen. For the first time in years and... Continue Reading →
love my vets
In the United States, yesterday was Memorial Day. A day set aside to remember all those who died serving our country. It is a federal holiday. There are many activities to honor fallen heroes -- parades, flags placed in cemeteries, assemblies. I recognized said 3-day weekend by unplugging from technology for three days and winding up...
