Would you stand by his side right after he told you he was gone?

1.20.11

My weekly guilty pleasure - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - has raised an issue that has stirred my interest since last week. What would you do if you were Camille Grammer? She's not my favorite housewife, in fact, not really even my favorite person but I wonder how many women ...

#FootballWidow

11.1.10

When football season began a few weeks ago, I felt this impending sense of dread; deep down I knew that I would "lose" my husband until January.  I remember joking about it with some other gals on Twitter about it at the time who felt the same way.  Fast forward ...

My weddings rings have magically reappeared

10.26.10

I found my wedding rings over the weekend after they’ve been missing for almost three years.  I thought they were stolen because I couldn’t remember “losing” them, but I guess they were placed in a box for safe keeping but whomever placed it in the box didn’t tell me and ...

Mother’s Day expectations

5.10.10

What does Mother’s Day really mean?  It’s a recognition day that is becoming more and more like Valentine’s Day in my opinion – commercial.  My expectation is that this is the one day of the year that mother is celebrated and treated like a queen; when all normal motherly duties ...

Out of town

5.8.10

Hubby is away (and has been gone for the last 2 days) and I miss him.  I'm not quite sure why. I'm not the lovey-dovey type and he's been traveling a lot recently and because he's running for office I barely see him when he's in town and we've had ...

"Giving Meaning to a Meaningless Life"

3.10.10

Okay, the title of this post is the most interesting thing about the next audio book I listened to. The Power of Love, by Dr. Laura Schlessinger was not what I expected it to be. What I failed to do is pay attention the description and focused too much on ...

An adult hit

1.27.10

So I got hit on yesterday! It's been a long time since I've been hit on and this was a pretty direct hit. First, allow me to indulge in the flattery for a moment. After being married for a few years and after being with the same gentleman for about ...
