Can’t trust that day….

The nice thing about working two jobs is that, in a sense, you get two Fridays every week.  The flip side of that is that you get two Mondays, too.  I believe I am having both of them simultaneously today. 
I read an article recently about making a career change, and it suggested that to find [...]

Conversation with my six-year-old in the car yesterday afternoon: 
“Mom were you sexy in high school?” 
“Um. Erm. Um. I dunno… what does ’sexy’ mean?  Do you know?” 
“Yeah.  It means you’re hot.” 
“And what does ‘hot’ mean?” 
“You know… it means you’re pretty and stuff and the boys like you and they say ‘hey, babycakes, you wanna go on [...]

A woman’s got to know her limitations.

Let’s face facts here:  my spouse does not meet all of my needs. 
Oh, sure, I love him and all that stuff, and in 20 years together we’ve managed to cobble out a system that mostly works for us.  There is a security in a relationship like that, knowing that you’ve got something/someone waiting at home [...]

Things it has taken me this long to learn:

1.  I don’t know shit. 
2.  I am always right.

The end.

I have reached a point in my life where qualifying statements about me have been used, and these qualifying statements are all along the lines of “for a woman your age.”   
… the hell…? 
I am not accustomed to thinking of myself at this point as a woman of any certain age, though there are times when [...]

Now I don’t know what to do.

For a while now, a regular feature on my blog has been the posting of a photo at the end of the week.  Sometimes it was a photo found through Google Images, sometimes it was a personal snap.  I enjoyed doing it, searching for a way to illustrate my topic, or conversely, hoping that whatever [...]

Making a clean break.

I hate to be so flaky and bail on my (latest) old blog less than three months after I started it, but I have been found out.  Again.  By the same person.  Who, ironically, doesn’t even work at my company anymore.  But still has ties to the company because my boss is his father.   
Yeah.  It’s [...]

The contents of my head today.

The bad news is, I feel fat today. So I put on my fat pants (don’t tell me I’m the only one who has fat pants, don’t lie to me) and the good news is, I found $5 in my pocket. Woo!
Had a dream last night that I had open heart surgery. [...]

Legal, moral, ethical.

I am a knowledge junkie. My friends will attest to this because I am the one flooding their email boxes with links to interesting articles that I’ve read. But I think you should constantly be learning something. I used to make a habit of taking at least one CEU course each semester [...]
