My husband, Brad, and I are pretty good about knowing our strengths and our weaknesses. I’m not a good singer. At all. You don’t want me singing at your wedding—unless, that is, you want to drive everyone out of the church or ceremony holding their ears and screaming. Brad is not a fan of public […]

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.

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

During the pandemic, lots of people began purchasing what they needed online. Some also began buying lots of what they didn’t need online. I fell between the two. While we got essentials, like groceries, delivered, I didn’t buy a whole lot of other stuff for a long while. Sure, I bought a few items—okay, let’s […]

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. Here’s what comes next, I say something like, “I remember this song! It was out the first year we were dating, and we heard it the night we […]

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.
