I should be writing something a little more inspired or thought-provoking tonight, but I’ve been sidetracked with the end of school, end of soccer, end of May and, therefore, the beginning of summer. I’m a Virgo and a preparations kind of person by nature, although I’ve become more laid back in the last few years. [...]

I know what I’ll be doing this summer. I’ll be watching 2 1/2 seasons worth of Lost episodes. I am completely hooked on this show. I only started watching it in January, so I’m not hooked like the bazillions of people who flooded ABC.com’s message boards with updated plot theories after Wednesday night’s Season 3 [...]

And I don’t mean work.
On Sunday I took the kids on what is turning out to be my annual excursion to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. (The Ex takes them at least once or twice a year, too.) It’s a rather nice zoo, in my opinion, and not so big that halfway through you [...]

Juggling is tiring.
I am tired.
This week has been busy on all fronts, making me think that wearing this many hats will leave me with either a bald spot or a medical prescription for scalp massage therapy. Personally, I’m hoping for the massage therapy.
It started at work – my day job in Corporate America. Monday through [...]

I can’t believe it’s already the middle of May. Depending on the speed of climate change around here, that means swimsuit season will kick off in as few as 3 weeks.
The season when men are blinded not by my beauty, but by the glare of the sun reflecting off of my pale, pale legs.
The season [...]

Of course not. We’re divorced. [Ba-dum-bum. You can catch Susan at her next show at 11.]
This, as you might guess, is a follow-up post to my reflections on eHarmony. Just want to clear up one thing…well, two things:
1) I am not poking fun at the folks who, over the years, have suggested eHarmony as an [...]

It’s Friday night here at OWS – a night of peace and quiet and reflection, since the kids are with The Ex. I’m relaxed. I’ve had (cheap) wine with cheese and crackers (out of the box). And I’m not feeling one iota of guilt about being without my children.
“Wait!” you say. “It’s almost Mother’s Day. [...]

My daughter’s class hosted a Mother’s Day Tea yesterday afternoon. I won’t bore you with the details except to say that it made me smile, laugh and cry, all in less than an hour. See, that’s what a mom does when her child greets her at the school entrance and then escorts her back to [...]

I admit, I’ve had bad luck when it comes to dating. I’ve had a lot of dates in the last few years since I’ve been divorced, but no lasting relationships. Most days I’m good at adopting a fairly zen-like acceptance about the whole thing, but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t want [...]

Work in Cubeville? Drone of Corporate America?
Then, check out the sites below for a dose of cubicle humor and insights.
Oh, you don’t work at the Cube Farm or the Human Zoo? Well, check out the sites below for a dose of cubicle humor and insights, and then wipe that stupid smirk off your face before [...]
