Next Time I Move
Ready or Not, Here They Come
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 13, 2021
I got bad news the other day. I knew it was coming, but I kept pretending that perhaps it just wouldn’t happen. You know, like you do with income taxes, falling asleep at 9 p.m., and getting excited when you buy a new dishwasher.

Things I Like in Theory
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 12, 2021
I like a lot of things. That’s true. But after doing some deep thinking while stuck at home during the pandemic, I’ve realized that there are also a lot of things I like in theory, but not in practice. Confused? Let me explain.

Our Secret Recipes
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 23, 2021
My late mom was an excellent cook. She made amazing lasagna, stuffed cabbage, spaghetti sauce, chili—the list goes on and on. But the one treat she made each Christmas season, the one that everyone desired, was her creamy, rich chocolate fudge. She would make tons and tons of fudge and give it out to the […]

Why Can’t Sleeping Dogs Lie…in One Spot? Part Deux…
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 19, 2021
I began my last column talking about our dog, Riley, and how he’s cute. He is cute. Very, very cute… For the most part, having him sleep in our bed with my husband and me is not bad. Because, well, we’re asleep. And if we’re both in a deep sleep, Riley could have a party, […]

Why Can’t Sleeping Dogs Lie…in One Spot?
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 8, 2021
Our dogs, Riley and Mae, are really, really cute… And it’s this cuteness that, some days—or in this case, nights—is the only thing that keeps them alive. Truth be told, I wouldn’t hurt them, ever. But I would seriously think about throwing them out of our bedroom. Because, my friends, you just haven’t lived until […]

Mad Dog
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 6, 2021
One of my dogs has gone mad. No, not the kind where she’s got rabies and running havoc through 1890s London. And it’s not the kind of mad where she made a potion in her doggie laboratory, and has now turned into Ms. God (Get it? Dr. Dog and Ms. God…Okay, never mind.) It’s certainly […]

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.

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 […]

Freaking People Out is as Easy as a Shot in the Ear
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 25, 2021
I’ve found that there are simple things you can say that will immediately get people’s attention. Like, “Hey, I won the lottery.” Or, “Look, they’re giving away free beer.” And, “I got a needle in my eardrum.”

My husband has a special nickname for me. I don’t mean honey…or sweetie…or my love.
