How Lucky Are We to Hate That?
I wake up with a stretch and yawn, only to find that my alarm didn’t go off and I’m now late to work. I hate that. I get dressed to go out to dinner and I spill makeup on myself and have to change. I hate that. I’m sitting in traffic and a guy in… Continue reading

5 Questions We Need to Stop Asking
If there is one thing I love, it’s being in the loop. I’m all about knowing what’s what and who’s who. But if you’re a Sherlock like me, you are probably guilty of asking some questions over and over, most of which should be put to rest. Here are a few: 1) Did you… Continue reading

The Simplest Kind of Happy
“We have to go,” I say to my sister as I wait by the garage door. “Coming!” she shouts back from her room upstairs. It was a Thursday and, as always, we were running late to the bowling league we joined with our family. “Did you eat anything?” I ask as she comes down the… Continue reading

Good Day to be a Duck (How a Puddle Gave Me Perspective)
A few weeks ago I wore rain boots to work for the first time in my entire life. They were relatively new (in that I’d never worn them in the 2 years they’ve sat in my closet) so the fit was awkward and squeaky. When I opened the office door, I tried to tip toe—squeakless—towards… Continue reading

Streaky Mirror New Year
A few weeks ago I went on a completely compulsive cleaning binge; not one inch of the house was spared. I mopped floors, I washed dishes, I dusted dressers, I scrubbed toilets, all of it, and once I finished, I sat down on the couch and let out a long, satisfied sigh. Later when I… Continue reading

My First Massage (Adventures at the Spa: Part 2)
There I was, face down on a table, left butt cheek out, thinking about high school… Wait, I should back up a bit. I walked into a dark room in nothing but a cloth robe and found Kendra, who flipped on some classical music. Woah. Wait, that took it a different direction. Let’s go to… Continue reading

The Perfect Christmas Gift
Every Christmas, those in my family who are 18 and over draw names from a hat for the annual gift exchange. Or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work. The truth is we all cheat based on ideas we’ve formulated throughout the year so that the gift giving process will be smooth and fun.… Continue reading
