Technical Difficulties
By Michele Wojciechowski on March 12, 2021
Since my husband has also been working from home during the entire pandemic, I’ve noticed some things that I do when I’m home by myself. Well, these are things I would normally do when I’m working at home, but I’ve never noticed them before until he started alerting me to them.

You Know What I Like…Not
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 17, 2020
Ah, holiday shopping. While fun for some, for others it’s the bane of their existence. I fall somewhere in between. If I’m shopping early, it’s fun. If it’s late, and I’m rushing like a dog that’s got the “zoomies,” it’s not fun. In fact, I’d rather just have the zoomies and run around my house […]

Sweet Dreams, You Big Liar
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 29, 2015
I don’t like to lie. I was raised to tell the truth, even if it was difficult. Like when my Mom’s stained-glass lamp broke. But let’s not talk about that… I take after my Mom in that there is no “bull” with me; if you ask my opinion, I’ll give you an honest one. Sure, […]

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 […]

Painting Myself into a Corner Again (or Part Deux)
By Michele Wojciechowski on June 19, 2014
So, remember my last column when I was talking about my husband and me painting our front porch? What? You didn’t read that one? Sigh…okay. Go on to your computer right now, go to the East County Times website, and read it. We’ll wait. Tick, tick, tick, tick… Back yet? Finally! I mean, okay, let’s […]

Breaking…A Bad Habit
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 24, 2014
There’s a saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Well, color me crazy. You know those clippy things on pens and mechanical pencils that allow you to clip them to your shirt pocket? Did you know that they have a name?

Only in the Movies: 3D
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 […]
