I’m toying with the idea that I am the only 40 year old who had men go out in the backyard and whip out guns and shoot beer cans for the heck of it during her birthday picnic, but I doubt it. In fact, they inspired the neighbor to take out her gun, and shoot something [...]

For Good
Posted in Uncategorized on September 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It’s difficult to voice ones’ actual opinion on things when cornered.
My emotions are generally in one muddle or another, but I find it impossible to ascertain how I feel about anything when I am smack dab in the middle and not allowed to breathe, have space, be objective.
And trust me, someone screaming at you doesn’t [...]
You Take My Breath Away

It’s finally spring! Flowers bursting into color, sun shining, a toad in my sprinkler system, and…because the trees are budding, I can’t breathe. I’ve actually had to resort to my hate-able rescue inhaler, copped my Singulair from the doctor, and…as usual…I have a gig. And I’m in a panic, hoping I will be able to [...]

I find it easier to take a vacation with my 5 year old son than with my husband.
There. I’ve said it.
Even with the three of us, he’s more trouble than triplets. Especially if there is plane travel involved. The packing. The dealing with the nonsense of not being able to carry on all the things you [...]
Come and Get Your Love

I have never liked sex scenes in my fiction. I’ve always been a “the fire flickered and died” kind of gal. We ALL know what happens once the fire is flickering and dying (except for one of my voice teachers, to whom I had to explain that there was a reason Jove’s “thunder” was now [...]
Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

I have now officially become an old guinea woman.
I wake up in the morning and kid myself that the sensation I feel is hunger, and that coffee will pacify it. One cup of coffee. Two Tums. I used to have several cups of coffee, but now…it hurts. I can feel it in the back of [...]
Me Time

I am really good at self distraction.
I generally have some basics I have to get done to move the day forward…dishes rinsed and in the dishwasher, clean ones out. Beds made, general tidy, Ed fed and dressed, at school with lunch if required. Vocal warmups (every day), work out if I can. Larder refilled. Dinner [...]

I would say I am not addictive by nature. I would also say that motherhood has completely shredded my attention span to the point where I can’t sit still during an entire program. I watch Dancing With the Stars on my DVR when I can, and then I can get up and dance with my [...]

Not a term you hear too much anymore. I don’t know whether it’s fallen out of fashion or it’s become so de rigeur that people don’t even use it anymore.
Saw it on AOL: Danny Bonaduce, 50, proposes to 26 year old girlfriend.
I wanted to get her home phone number, so we could have a heart [...]
Fat Kids
Posted in Child rearing, body image, diet, family, weight on March 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I must have watched the movie “Stand By Me” at least 20 times as a teenager. Coming of age movie, Stephen King, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O’ Connell as the “fat kid” (now grown up and married to a Victoria’s Secret model). It came on TV the other day…the leech part. I watched, and [...]
