Trash Talking
By Michele Wojciechowski on March 4, 2021
I recently opened the trash can in our kitchen and nearly dropped dead. It wasn’t because it stank (let’s face it, though, it could have). It wasn’t because there was a gross science experiment-looking thing that my husband had found in the back of the fridge and disposed of (although, knowing us, that could have […]

The Method of My Madness
By Michele Wojciechowski on March 26, 2015
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?

Let Your Fingers Do the Walking…
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 25, 2014
THUNK! That used to be the sound we would hear when the delivery man would plunk down two huge phone books on our front steps—the white pages and the yellow pages. We used them all the time. As the internet has become so important in our daily lives, I haven’t used one of those phone […]

If I Were in the Olympics
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 13, 2014
Do you know when the Olympics are taking place? No, me neither… It’s not like we can turn on the television, radio, internet, or even look at any magazine or newspaper without knowing what the latest event is and who won, who lost, who’s too fat, who’s too thin, who let everyone down, and who […]

Your Annual Guide to Gifts you Need to Get…or Not
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 19, 2013
As I’ve written in years past, my husband and I receive over 100 catalogues each holiday season. You read that right—over 100. I don’t know why we get so many because we order from very few of them. But I’m guessing that they buy lists from other companies of folks to mail to hoping against […]

By Michele Wojciechowski on August 16, 2013
Dear readers, it’s time for one more episode of “Only in the Movies,” where you learn about more things that only happen in the movies, but don’t happen in real life. Why? Because it’s the summer, and I’ll bet you’ve gone to the movies or have watched some at home recently.

I’m Not a Doctor, but I Play One on the Web
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 24, 2013
While I love the Internet, there’s one thing about it that makes me run screaming away from my computer. Is it because I can learn—up to the minute—what crisis is going on in the lives of each and every Kardashian? Nope. Because I keep getting ads that ask if I want to become a million-dollar […]

Purging Piles of Paper: A New Year’s Proclamation
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 11, 2013
Regular readers of this column may remember how I wrote last year about not making any New Year’s resolutions. You know, like losing weight, exercising more, or getting organized. But as I sit here looking at my paper-laden home office, one word comes to mind: firetrap.
