My natural inclination today at lunch was to stay at my desk - not because I love to work through lunch - not at all - but to a) write out birthday cards to avoid being even more late in getting them to their recipients; and b) to avoid exertion and sweat on this hot [...]
Guilty as charged.
I especially like the part about the boy “being forced to linger with his mother in fabric stores.”
Thanks to Suburban Bliss for finding this one.
Since I’m not really dating at the moment (you’ll see why), I’ve decided that we all need a good laugh, and what is better than reading about other people’s embarrassing moments? I’m getting too old to worry as much about this kind of stuff, and, frankly, I find it quite liberating to not care. So [...]
This morning I decided to unplug my iPod and listen to the radio in the car. I began singing along until I realized the song was not coming from the radio; it was coming from my kids’ High School Musical CD. The thing is, my kids weren’t in the car - and I liked the [...]
Today I went back to work after taking 2 days off to go to the Ann Arbor Art Fair and 3rd annual girls reunion. Judging by the number of emails and meeting requests in my in-box, you would have thought I was gone for a month. But I tried to hold on to that sense [...]

The raccoons haven’t left; I was fooling myself before thinking they had. I haven’t seen them, but I see indentations in the mulch from animal footprints right where I last found them. I’m sure it’s them. I know it’s them. And I don’t know why this bugs me so much - personal space issues, I [...]
I typically live a quiet life filled with self-deprecating humor here at One-Woman Show, but today I’d like to publicly acknowledge and thank Mamacita for recently awarding me the Thinking Blogger Award and Lulu of Lulu’s Laundry for giving me a Rockin’ Girl Blogger nod. I really enjoy both of their blogs because they are [...]
I went back to the gym on Tuesday for the first time in oh, 3 months. Actually I’m sure it was closer to 4 months, but like not quite being 40 years-old, it still feels better for me to say “I’m in my late 30’s” rather than “I’m almost 40.” So it’s been like, say, [...]
