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.

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 […]

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.

As I write this, it’s the middle of February, and while I long for spring, there’s something else I could really use right now. A big, honking snowstorm. Yeah, I know. We complain about it when it snows. We shovel it. We hoard food when it’s about to happen. And, as I mentioned, we complain […]

Normally, I don’t need visuals to go along with my column, but today I do. See that photo that shows what happens when you’re on a cell phone call and another call is coming in through Call Waiting? Yeah, well when that happens, for some reason, my brain shuts down. That might be an exaggeration. […]

Not quite two years ago, I was at a writers’ conference. After I got a shower one morning, I looked into the mirror in the bathroom and was frightened by what I saw.
