On a recent venture to the store to buy toothpaste for my husband, I was staggered by the choices at my disposal. I counted sixteen different kinds of toothpaste in the brand he had requested. Everything from Cinnamon, Mint, Tarter control, sensitive protection, whitening pro-health, enamel strengthening, and so on. Now I am glad that [...]
Me and My Prez
As I watched the debate the other night my heart warmed to know how much the candidates are trying to sound like me, identify with me and ah heck, even shop where I shop! Just today as I got ready to go do my Saturday errands it was with great anticipation that I would run [...]
Children- The Ultimate Accesory!
In my most recent employment I have the had opportunity to observe parents that can afford private education for their children. However, the amount parents spend on their children doesn’t stop with tuition; in fact that is just one part of the huge industry dedicated to justifying how great a parent you can be.
Call me [...]
Barack Obama is the Savior of the World
Barack Obama is the perfect candidate for such a time as this. He is charming, educated, and appears to feel “our” pain. His background is one of hard work and knowing what the “little guy”is all about. Heck, just cause he went to Harvard doesn’t mean he can’t connect with us, he’s just smarter. In [...]

This allows me ample opportunity to experience all the blissful moments of motherhood without having to take them home at the end of the day. Well…I take that back. I was there two days and I caught a nasty cold, but [...]
Swinging
I always thought I was more or less normal. That is, until I turned 38. By normal I mean I never stalked a celebrity, never plucked my eyelashes out and never set a cat on fire. However when I turned 38 I developed an overwhelming desire to tell everyone that they were doing it wrong. [...]
Will Work for Food (Part 2)
In my quest to find work that will supplement my husband’s income I think I have found the perfect job. As I peruse the want ads each day over my steaming cup of Lipton, the ad leaped out of the monitor at me and said “Here I am, this is what you have been waiting [...]
Will Work for Food- My life as a Temp
Working as a temporary is as close to being a non person as one can get. There are so many facets of being a temp in an office setting it boggles ones mind. From the beginning when you register as a “temp” with an agency you are given tests to ensure you won’t pick up [...]
