LEAVE BEHINDS

I love it when I hear a great story and it sticks with me.  A friend’s Mom once told me a great one that still makes me chuckle.  When she was young and being newly pursued by her now husband, she accidentally left her earring at his house.  Surely she would need to retrieve what … Continued

A Picture Says A Thousand Words Or In This Case ONE!

I saw a clever picture today that made me laugh.  It’s so simple yet it leaves so much room for interpretation.  The unpolished humor is witty and gritty so it makes logical sense that I’d add it to the THAT’S FUNNY section of the blog. Have at it: When I first saw the picture, obviously I … Continued

It's An Unpolished Job, But Someone's Gotta Do It!

On a good day, motherhood is still a love/hate, best/worst kind of job.  It’s for women who once considered themselves to be fairly normal individuals (pre-motherhood, duh) but now have realized that they’ve slowly become certifiably insane for having kids. It truly is an unpolished job, but someone’s gotta do it!  For those of you … Continued

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY, SILVER UNPOLISHED!

Wow!  Time flies when you’re having fun.   Seems like just yesterday I had no idea what I was getting into when I gave birth to this site.  I had no clue if my expectations would be met, let alone if they were even realistic.  It would be anyone’s guess if the random thoughts on … Continued

Wearing My Heartz On My Sleeve & Around My Neck Too

[slideshow id=30] When my friend’s Mother was diagnosed with Colon Cancer a year and a half ago she knew her life was about to change.  What she didn’t know, nor what she couldn’t have ever imagined was to what degree and in what capacity those changes would manifest. When the doctors told her Mother that … Continued

MUSIC FOR THE MIND

  The other day I almost got through an entire yoga class without crying…. Almost.  Then I heard the most unbelievable song and it moved me to tears. The melody was beautiful and the words were powerful enough that I haven’t been able to get them out of my mind.   As soon as class … Continued

That's Funny!

It’s not a shock that when I’m having a rough day I love me some good scotch.   It’s also not a coincidence that my pharmacist and I are on a first name basis.  BUT…. I still believe that laughter is the best medicine.  Nothing makes me feel better than a good belly laugh.  If … Continued

DAY WINE… IT'S HEAVEN ON EARTH

Typically I’m more of a hard liquor drinker but sometimes I need to mix it up, especially if I’m starting early and breaking out the booze during daylight hours. A few weeks ago I had plans to meet a girlfriend at the park with the kids.  Our texts back and forth covered the who, what, … Continued
