Nutjobs?

If only.

Alert the powers that be! Peanut warnings should include “nutjobs.”

The mother of all my Mother’s Day qualms?

Should we tell our children what we really want?

“Sure, honey. This is what I’d love. Here’s my list. Get crackin’!”

• A round-trip, first class, all expenses paid vacation to Bora Bora
• A spa week in Provence, champagne included
• Pay off my mortgage
• A gaggle of grandchildren
• Lifelong 24-7 tech help
• A ruby red Maserati Gran Turismo Convertible

My First 100 Days

Enough about Trump. Here’s what I did in my first 100 days.  Whaaa!

• Exited my mother’s womb with a ton of fanfare. Actually, it was a bloodbath. Pretty gross. Extremely exhausting for Mom and me. Couldn’t wait to get cleaned up and grab a nap. Whew.

• Cried. There’s lots of crying in the first 100.

• Slept, mostly in spurts of a few hours here, a few hours there. Similar to how I do now.

Spring is here.

Whoopee.

It has stopped snowing.

Whoopee.

The flowers are blossoming with a vengeance. […]

It’s time to have some fun with the self-help industry!

Misery? It’s not merely a Stephen King novel.

Happiness? It’s not just a smiley face or an emoticon.

You don’t need another self-help book. They suck.

Instead, you need to laugh at your troubles. Kvetch and complain. Embrace the pain. Feel the joy.

Humor me…

WHY MY PURSE WEIGHS 50 FRIGGIN’ POUNDS

After all, isn’t a purse just an enabler for mobile hoarders?

I suppose my purse/bag would be lighter if these items were not in it?

• Multiple lipsticks, concealers,  mascara, a tiny make-up guy.

• A Six-Pack of emergency water bottles – an absolute necessity for survival if stuck in traffic during a heatwave during a SIG alert during an earthquake during a heart attack during a hurricane during a nuclear attack during a tsunami during a…

Hello

So much email, so many phone calls, too many texts… too little time.

So Why Haven’t I Returned Your Emails, Calls, and Texts in 5 Weeks?

Hello! It’s challenging to muster the same sense of urgency to email, call, text responses than I have for, say, attending a family funeral or watching The Tennis Channel.

I know you understand ’cause you haven’t returned my emails, calls, texts either 🙂 […]

Run-of-the-mill pain, angst, misery – it’s all relative.

One poor schlub’s kidney stone is someone else’s stubbed toe.

Many people claim to be miserable. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you hurt?
