Quarantineacationaversary
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 24, 2020
In June, my husband and I experienced a huge milestone in our life—we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary! Hooray! Woo hoo! Yay for us! We were planning on spending it in Cape May, and later in the year, traveling to London, where we’ve never been, and possibly Hawaii, where we went for our honeymoon (and […]

Cleanliness is Next to Sloppiness
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 22, 2020
During this pandemic and its related quarantine, I’ve learned quite a bit about myself. I love sitting on the front porch and watching nature. I love having my husband work from home. Oh, and evidently, I’m both a neatnik and a total slob at the same time. Think these two ways of living can’t possible […]

When Killer Trees Attack!
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 22, 2020
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 […]

The Weekend My Husband Got Sick
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 23, 2015
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, […]

The Tooth is Stranger than Fiction
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 12, 2015
Friends have told me for years that they think weird stuff happens to me just so I have material for my column. I usually protest and say, “No. It’s just that I pay more attention to the absurd things in life than you do.” But after this past weekend, I have to wonder if they’re […]

Now That It’s Almost Fall, It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like…Christmas?
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 11, 2014
I was looking on Facebook over the weekend, and a friend of mine shared a photo from a store she was in. All you could see were lighted and decorated Christmas trees. You read that correctly. And it wasn’t in a Christmas store.

Ornamental Differences
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 5, 2013
My husband and I have been married for a long time. A really long time. As in, since God was a boy. Well, not that long, but you get the picture. And when you’ve been together with someone you love for many years, you think you know everything about that person. Their likes, dislikes; what […]

A Cut Above the Rest
By Michele Wojciechowski on June 21, 2013
I’ve always had a lot of thick hair. Wasn’t always so curly—I can thank puberty for that—but since birth, let’s just say that I’ve had much more hair that the average Joe…or Jen. I’m lucky to have been seeing the same stylist for over 20 years now. (Of course, we were both only five when […]

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 15, 2013
For the last couple of months, folks around me have been getting sick. Seems like every time I talked with someone, either they or a family member was sick. Then sick again. And again. And while I’ve thought the thought that I dare not express, the one that would assure me to be a viable […]

What’s That All A-Bot?
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 8, 2014
I am not a robot. People who have met me in person can attest to this fact. Well, most of them can anyway. In fact, the closest I’ve ever gotten to being a robot was during the ‘80s when I attempted to do the dance called “The Robot.” And it was not pretty. Take my […]
