Marshall sent me to the grocery store two nights ago to buy a whole chicken for dinner – so I bought a whole raw chicken and set it on the counter. “What is this?” he asked in confusion. “It’s a chicken babe,” I explained. “You asked me to buy a whole chicken.” He looked at […]
As much time as I spend thinking about the Ford Flex, I was surprised to look through my titles and discover that I have NEVER (ever?) written about the Flex! Let me just tell you: I love that car. I test drove one in May and was immediately smitten. It was love at first acceleration. […]
So Misty Harris has thrown her fonky little Weight Off Challenge in my face, which I have heartily accepted. The goal is to lose 15 lbs by Christmas. As I said before, win or lose, I am never one ot back off of a challenge. What Misty DOESN’T know, is that prior to her little […]

I thought the water tasted odd, but I drank it anyway. Church service was going exceptionally long yesterday, so I slunk out of the building to go get something to eat. It was noon and they still hadn’t taken up the offering yet. As I cruised down Holcomb Bridge, I saw – to my delight […]
Do you ever get sick of reading and watching the news? I have. You would think the world was going directly to Hell by Saturday morning. Ugh! I went walking with a friend 2 days ago who was feeling really glum about her job prospects. She’d interviewed with one of the four major telecom companies […]
