During quarantine, I’ve been trying to spend time outside each day. I watch the squirrels, listen to the birds, and commune with nature. Actually, I’m mainly getting out so that I don’t completely lose it being stuck in the house most of the time. Lately, though, I’ve also been watching my husband. Before I get […]

During this quarantine, I’ve discovered a lot about my husband. Like if he could, he’d work from home forever. Or how he likes sitting on the front porch to watch hummingbirds just as much as I do. Oh, and he’s cheating on me. But it’s not what you think: it’s not with another woman (or […]

You never realize how much you can’t stand a paint color in a room in your home until you’ve noticed it every day for five months while in a quarantine. We need a change! The upstairs bath that has always been a stark white, the hall bathroom that we painted what should have been a […]

As a writer, I have a big problem. It’s not writer’s block. (Sometimes it is, but we won’t tempt the fates by talking about it.) It’s not thinking about what to discuss at the water cooler. (I work from home, and my dogs can’t talk…yet.) It’s not even trying to figure out what outfits I’ll […]

Because we’ve been under quarantine for months now, many of us have hair that’s looking a bit–well, let’s say that sans haircuts or color or blowouts or…you get the picture. Our hair has seen better days. At least I know not to cut it myself. I did that once years ago, and it was a […]

By the time you are reading this, I will have returned from my trip to New York City. I go once a year for a professional conference. As I write this, it’s a couple of days before I leave. But one of my dogs already knows. I have no idea how he knows, but he […]

My husband doesn’t get sick very often. But when he does, it’s usually with something mild—like a cold or a sore throat—and he spends the next 48-72 hours driving me crazy and acting like a whiny baby. Please know that I love my husband. I really do. Because of this–and because we’ve been together, well, […]

I have an excellent memory. Really—in that it’s so good that sometimes it’s almost creepy. Here’s an example for you: I’ll hear a song on the radio or while my husband and I are out. Here’s what comes next, I say something like, “I remember this song! It was out the first year we were […]

Over the years, I have been becoming more and more of a sports fan. I’ve always loved baseball, and I enjoy indoor soccer. Nearly seven years ago, I became a true blue football fan. But basketball?

My husband and I have two dogs: Riley, the overactive pup, and, Mae. Her name isn’t really Mae, but she prefers to go by a pseudonym. She’s a proper Southern lady, having come to us via Alabama, and she doesn’t want her friends to know if she’s done something wrong. If that happened, there would […]
