The thoughts and experiences of a working woman and wife.

While I usually don’t, I’m actually going to dress up for Halloween this year. But I don’t want to go buy a costume from a store. The choices for women are slutty, sluttier and sluttiest. Take this little number for example: So, I’d like to put together a costume that’s free or low cost and [...]

I often wonder what life would be like….if all the female-torture devices we suffer in the name of beauty were never invented. Things like: This lovely number is constricting, itchy, and the straps continually fall off your shoulders. But it adds two cup sizes, so women spend hundred of dollars to get all the colors [...]

This morning like all week-day mornings, I got up and got ready for work. But this morning was a little different; I thought about which shoes to wear. Not in the they-look-good-with-my-outfit way, but in the I-feel-fabulous-in-these-shoes way. Today was Fabulous Shoe Wednesday. I give my co-worker all the credit for coming up with the [...]

“I miss the friend you used to be,” I say to myself. I used to be a great friend. (At least I tried to be.) I hung out, kept plans, talked on the phone, and opened my home and life to my friends. Whatever they needed, I was there. A listening ear – got it. [...]

I have fond memories of my childhood. As a kid, I loved the playground. As now that I am 30, not much has changed. This weekend, hubby and I spent some quality time out doors. Here’s me on a swing. I was the only one over 5 actually swinging. But I didn’t care; it was [...]

In August of 2007, hubby and I went camping. Now, this was nothing new to me. In fact, growing up, my friends and I spent a lot of time in the woods. Camping is what we did. So, it only seemed fitting that I’d take my hubby (who was my boyfriend at the time) camping [...]

This wife don’t cook – not because I can’t … but because I don’t. When hubby and I got married, I actually envisioned having dinner with my husband every night. The little wife coming home after work, whipping up something good for dinner, sitting down at the dinner table with my husband, talking about our [...]

When friends of ours announced that they were having a baby, my hubby was the first to know. I came home from work to hear: “J and A are having a baby.” “Oh yeah!” I exclaimed. Immediately, I started shooting the questions at him: Is it a boy or a girl? When is she due? [...]

Imagine a world with no fast food and no chain restaurants. This world does exist. My hometown has doesn’t have any of the above – just small, mom-and-pop operations. Three bars/restaurants, one BP gas station that also serves food (don’t laugh too hard), and a cafe. This weekend, I ate breakfast at the cafe twice. [...]

Yesterday, I attended a graduation / 4th of July party at my family’s camp near my hometown. By camp, I mean a small, kinda run-down house that my cousin and his family use as a weekend get-a-way. A great area to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, it’s set back in the [...]
