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 …
Wa-wa Tires versus the Newfangled Low Profile Option
Tonight, we went to eat out as we had an event at our daughters' school and didn't get done early enough to get home and cook. We have been eating at home and taking our lunch almost exclusively, so I didn't feel bad about breaking the habit for one night. When we were coming out …
