Seven years now and I am still single. It’s Christmas time and the Hallmark Channel is playing movie after movie of finding true love at Christmas. What if you don’t want it? Don't need it. What if you are perfectly content not being in a relationship? No, I am not spending time working on myself. Yes, I want to lose some...
I just saw a preview for a new series beginning on tv called "The Job Interview" where “someone is going to get hired.” My immediate thought was why? What could this show do to hold my attention? I have never gone to a job interview that I didn’t get so it is hard for me to understand. The preview...
The board game of “Life” is in the closet still used from time to time, but I find that we tend to play the electronic version more often. If you are familiar with the game, it makes you spin a wheel moving your game piece and picking your life possibilities. Recently while playing the game of Life with my daughter...
No not another season of the Elf I thought to myself. Yes, I too made the decision to purchase an Elf several years ago and didn’t understand the commitment that I was heading into.

Last night we had game night and my teen and I had a blast. We played Checkers-Some large ones I found. We played the Game of Life and...
I stood there silently as the man in his late 50's yelled at the man behind the seafood counter at the local grocery store. He was dressed in pajama bottoms and a worn out t-shirt that had a picture of a beer bottle on it while wearing a dirty baseball cap. I'm not making this up, this was what...
Cow cuddling you exclaim? Oh yes, this is a real thing. Not a petting zoo type of atmosphere, but a therapeutic session with mental health benefits. Since the pandemic has begun, we have lost the ability to touch and hug each other leaving us isolated and stressed out. I don’t know about you, but I for one have been...
This is so
funny, you have to listen to this”, I heard my daughter telling her girlfriend
the other night. Suddenly I heard my voice mimicking someone on television.
What I didn’t know was that my daughter had been recording me on her phone while
