Resolution Revolution
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 31, 2020
In our society, the dawning of the New Year gives us a clean slate. And after the hell known as 2020, boy, do we need one. We can begin fresh. It’s also the time when many of us make resolutions that have bitten the dust by February 1, but that’s besides the point. I’ve decided […]

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 […]

Countless Christmas Catalogs
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 10, 2020
When I was a little girl, one of the most magical things about the Christmas season was in a book that arrived at our home each year. At about a couple of inches thick, it was filled with the dreams of every good girl and boy at Christmastime. (Well, I’m sure the bad ones like […]

Phishing for Dates
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 3, 2020
I love social media. There, I said it. I know that a lot of folks don’t like it because it can be negative or people can try and scam you. I totally understand. But it’s also brought me back in touch with a lot of people from various areas of my life. If social media […]

The Seven Day Rule
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 27, 2020
My husband and I have been together since, well as I tell folks, God was a boy. And while it hasn’t quite been that long, we’ve been with together long enough to be aware of each other’s idiosyncrasies—even if we still don’t fully understand them.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 19, 2020
With many people still quarantining because of the COVID-19 pandemic, quite a number are ordering groceries online. My husband and I have done this many times. One cool thing about it is that if you’re looking for an item that the store doesn’t carry, the app will suggest another one as a replacement. That sounds […]

Scare Tactics
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 29, 2020
I usually write a Halloweenesque column that focuses on the rules of Trick-or-Treating. But with the pandemic and quarantine happening, I figured that I needed a new theme. This year, I’m going to give you tips on What To Do If You Find Yourself In A Horror Movie.

Fighting Over the Thermostat: Quarantine Edition
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 22, 2020
My husband and I love to play games. While we like everything from Taboo to Monopoly to Scattergories, there’s one game that we play all fall long. We call it “What’s the Thermostat set on?” We’ve been playing this game since we first got married. As the years have passed, the game is just as […]

The Write Job, and the Wrong Ones
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 15, 2020
Although I spend time in this column making you laugh, I earn my living writing more than humor. One of the ways I look for work is to sign up on various job boards online. You would think that by just typing in “freelance writer” or “freelance editor,” I could find out about work in […]

Mosquitoes Really Suck
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 8, 2020
When I was a little girl, I hated mosquitoes. Not that anyone actually loves the little suckers. But I really, really hated them. Because when I got bit by mosquitoes, the bites swelled up so bad that if I got them behind my knees, it was tough to bend them. Seriously. It was just awful. […]
