Long Ago and Far Away

I remember well watching a 20/20 segment about 20 years ago on women who had focused on their careers and in the process allowed the window of time available to start a family to close. One woman was crying to break her heart. “And now it’s too late,” she sobbed. At the time, I was [...]

Since I Can’t Sleep

… I figured I’d write a few lines. I’m watching Craig Ferguson (have I mentioned my crush on him?) and thinking about what to wear to work tomorrow. I’m tired, but not sleepy — a frequent condition these days. It’s because of the bed. It sucks. I now call it one of two names: the [...]

I’m the kind of person who falls asleep pretty quickly. Sometimes, in the morning, I can even recall [...]

Cue the Sap

I so hate jewelry commercials. And because Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away, they’ve taken over the airwaves. Kay’s are the worst, though the whole “he went to Jared’s!” commercials also make me cringe. That is all.
