My exes never seem to be very far from me and the realization, the reminder, gives me pause. A few weeks ago I received a text from a phone number that was like a ghost whispering in my ear, “Remember me? Thought you’d quite forgotten?” The strangest thing about this particular text is that I [...]

“Come sit by me. I need to tell you something.” …. “We’re moving again. I know you’re probably not at all surprised by this, as we haven’t been ‘home’ in three weeks, but there it is. I’ve found a new place- a complete rehab with a view of the lake, the city, and Wrigley Field; with [...]

Thirty….as in 30!…did not shape up to be my parent’s “30.” Unsurprisingly, so far neither has 31. Not that I’m complaining. Because I’m not. I mean, just check out the majestic 30 Something life I lead… The other day, someone asked me what I did over the weekend. After thinking long and hard (TWSS), I [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Thirteen years ago, I found myself camping with my family at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. Camping. The “campground” consisted of a shadeless black top parking lot and our camper was without air conditioning. In the July heat of 104 degrees at 8 in the morning.

Last week, my dear sweet mother manipulated me. She began her behest innocuously enough with a whisper into the phone: “Shhhh…don’t tell your father,” she said as I heard her hastily scamper into another room in the background and shut the door. “I have money I want you to take to your brothers when you [...]

Two years ago, I got an email from you. You didn’t know my name, didn’t know my hair color or smile or laughter. You didn’t know the way my hand would feel in yours, didn’t know if there’d be a first date. You didn’t know how your words would resonate. You told me not to [...]
