  • It Has Nothing To Do With Vanity

    Yesterday when Don and I were driving to the mower store, I took a look at my face in the visor mirror as I was finally having a “good hair” day and I said, “You’re beautiful, yes you are!” and then I snapped the visor back into place and tossed a glance in Don’s direction.…

  • The Retail Truth

    As I raised my smoked turkey sandwich dangerously close to my mouth trap,  I caught sight of one of my co-workers running into the break room and she said,  in a rather exasperated tone, “I need a second before I go back out there!”  I would compare her demeanor to that of a person that…

  • Precious Little Poop Poop

    I did something today that would amaze some and leave others in total and complete disbelief.  I made curtains for my sewing room with flawed fabric!!!!  A while back I purchased two rather large yardages of cream colored taffeta and both of them had some snags and several spots.  I could have finagled a way…

  • Shame On The Door Dingers & Kamikaze Pedestrians

    When you go from living in a tiny little town to a big city there are all sorts of things you begin to notice.  What you are about to read are accounts of my frustrations as far as careless people and cars and parking lots go and I’m just a bit upset! Frustration Number 1:…

  • A Slight Rise In My Left Eyebrow

    Do you ever have one of those days when you hear something and even though you know you heard what you think you heard you have a hard time convincing your brain it really is what was said?  That sentence may have sounded just a bit confusing but once you hear the comments that inspired…

  • Ouch, ouch, ouch…

    So far this morning I’ve managed to navigate from the bathroom…ouch, ouch, ouch, to the kitchen…ouch….ouch, and from the kitchen…ouch, to the office and here I sit.  I don’t “love” to complain but I’m not going to rule out “liking” it, at least once in awhile.  I’m not a huge fan of doctors so I…

  • The Media’s Ahh-Gender

    Not often will you hear me discussing anything that is being broadcast on the news or in magazines as I try to avoid as much negative media coverage as I can and the last time I checked, the negative coverage sort of outweighs the positive.  I run into a bit of news on Facebook from time…

  • How To Bring Out My Inner Beast

    I’ve worked retail for 30 years so the fact that my sanity is only questioned occasionally amazes me!   I have learned that the most ugly and unpleasant people have issues before they even set foot in your store so when they throw their childish fits and snooty little tantrums I’m ready.   They usually…

  • Missing Yellow Ribbons

    For years the neighbors planted a garden on the very back corner of their lot that butted up to the very edge of our yard.  Perhaps I’m wrong, but every year it seemed like the tilled ground of their garden began to creep further and further onto our property.  People coming to visit would often…

  • The “Make-up” Talk

    Have you ever gotten into a lengthy conversation with anyone that wanted to warn you about the dangers of becoming the child of an aging parent?  Me neither but I’m starting to wish I would have had some warning as to what was going to happen and how soon I should begin searching for a…
