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 […]

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 […]

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.

Mothra vs. Wojo
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 5, 2020
It was a normal, sunny day in the land of Wojo. And in her home office, our heroine was reading through some notes on her desk, preparing to write a story. The townspeople—AKA her two dogs—were sleeping peacefully at her feet. It was a good day. Until it arrived…

Doggie Intuition
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 7, 2015
By the time you are reading this, I will have returned from my trip to New York City. I go once a year for a professional conference. As I write this, it’s a couple of days before I leave. But one of my dogs already knows. I have no idea how he knows, but he […]

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, […]

Why Am I in This Room?
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 9, 2015
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 or while my husband and I are out. Here’s what comes next, I say something like, “I remember this song! It was out the first year we were […]

The Method of My Madness
By Michele Wojciechowski on March 26, 2015
Over the years, I have been becoming more and more of a sports fan. I’ve always loved baseball, and I enjoy indoor soccer. Nearly seven years ago, I became a true blue football fan. But basketball?

The Baths Have Gone to the Dogs
By Michele Wojciechowski on March 12, 2015
My husband and I have two dogs: Riley, the overactive pup, and, Mae. Her name isn’t really Mae, but she prefers to go by a pseudonym. She’s a proper Southern lady, having come to us via Alabama, and she doesn’t want her friends to know if she’s done something wrong. If that happened, there would […]

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 […]
