Yes, I have more goofy tour questions and stories to brighten your world. Just think of them as my little Tuesday gift. The other day, I was touring a small group. We had seven folks signed up, but only three showed up for some reason or another. I went ahead and took the three, mainly …

Jumping on the Couch in the Jungle Room
So, 34 years ago today, Elvis died. He was 42, I think. My sister, though, probably knows exactly how old he was, like to the minute and second, as she is a huge Elvis fan. Me, not as much, although I do have to admit I have a few of his songs on my iPod. …
Facebook Drama
I have been on Facebook now for about three years. I started when I was getting ready for my 20th high schol reunion, and I have about 350 or so friends. That ends today. I'm tired of the drama. I will be deleting everyone except those I considered close friends in high school, some law …
If I Could Relive One Day of My Past: Our Wedding
I would choose to relive my wedding day. It was the day that I truly felt like a princess for the very first time in my life. My first wedding was an elopement at a judge's house. It was about as unspecial as you can possibly get. The second time around, my (now) husband and …

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas was a bad choice to watch with the in laws
It wasn't actually a movie. It was a live production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I went with my in-laws to see it about 10 years ago, after they got tickets to see it and invited us to go. The production was great. I don't think I'd ever seen the movie, but I …

A Graduation Story
At my college graduation, I was a rebel. I got my degree in psychology, and I didn't have a job lined up, but I was already working at a place at which I stayed for about 6 months after I graduated. I was not in a sorority for many reasons. One was that I was …
If I Could Banish Someone From My Life: Neighbor
I would banish my next-door neighbor if I could banish anyone. She is a 40-something school personnel who is recently single. We live in a very nice neighborhood. Per the county tax records, her house is worth about $340K. Ours is worth quite a bit less because it is quite a bit smaller than hers. …

My Favorite Month: October
My favorite month is October, mainly because the weather here starts to calm down a bit and gets cool enough that one can go outside and read during the daytime. We live in a fairly hot climate. We do see the seasons change, and it gets pretty cold in the winter, but in the summer …
My first job: Retail!
My first job with a real paycheck (and FICA, dang it) was at a local dollar store. I made $3.35 an hour, and my first check, for working the whole week, was around $40 after taxes. I thought I had found a pot of gold. The year was 1987. I applied for the job, mainly …
Dinkhood in 1379 Days
My husband and I are looking forward to dinkhood. Ours begins in approximately 1379 days. What is dinkhood you ask? Dinkhood is where one becomes a DINK. This is a stage in life for which I have been striving for many years. Dinkhood is what most parents eventually want, although there seem to be some …
