I drove to our meeting place, my heart in my throat and my stomach somersaulting. While we wanted this first time to be private, circumstances made that virtually impossible. I imagined this as some epic reunion, and could hardly think of seeing him, after so long, in some crowded restaurant. I pulled into the lot, … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Reunion

A Series of Unfortunate Events
It’s been a pretty shitty week. Again. It all started with that damn monthly bloody mess that ruined my mojo and made me all blubbery on the eve of my son’s 16th birthday. Yeah, I know – too much information. Well buckle up, cause there’s more. It would be lazy to just say I’ve been … Continue reading A Series of Unfortunate Events
Diabetes, and Emails, and Mice
I’m working though my emails this morning and there was one from Kohl’s. It’s their “best Black Friday deals early” email. Um, WHAT? We barely have one foot in the door of November. My God, I haven’t even begun to think about Thanksgiving. There were also several “store” emails taunting with coupons to save money … Continue reading Diabetes, and Emails, and Mice
Botox IS for Vaginas. And Other Thoughts.
Okay so let’s just start with the elephant in the room. Remember that time I said Botox and vaginas do NOT go together? Well, apparently I was wrong. I heard Robin telling Howard Stern about it and of course, knowing Howard, I thought it was a joke. Except that they weren’t laughing. So I googled … Continue reading Botox IS for Vaginas. And Other Thoughts.
What Happens In Vegas
I had no plans to watch the last presidential debacle debate. But then I decided to fix myself a martini or four and see what happened. I made myself a list of keywords to drink to: short list, rigged, lie, crooked, locker room talk, unfit to be president, wikileaks, emails, comprehensive immigration reform, “unfair attacks” … Continue reading What Happens In Vegas
What Not To Do, and Other Things
Do not forget your glasses when you go to the grocery store. And especially during check-out, do not repeatedly press “no” when the POS asks you a question you can’t read. Especially if the question is, is the amount correct? – not, do you want cash back? Do not mistakenly take someone else’s shopping cart … Continue reading What Not To Do, and Other Things
The Missing
What is it with things going missing? I just found a pair of scissors in the pocket on the back of the passenger seat in my car that I’ve been looking for, for nearly 3 months. Nobody knows how they got there. I always find a sock or two wrapped up in the fitted sheets … Continue reading The Missing
I Think I’m High Again
My gynecologist offers Botox now. Because everyone knows that vaginal exams and Botox injections go hand-in-hand. I’m assuming they mean Botox for foreheads, not Botox for vaginas. They don’t give Botox in vaginas. Do they? Because who would want that? Still, I’m wondering where along the way in gynecology some doctor said, you know – … Continue reading I Think I’m High Again
Three Years Later
It happened again. Another anniversary crept up on me before I even realized it was happening. It turns out today is the 3rd anniversary of our move to Maryland. If this is news to you, and you really want the back story, there are links at the end of this post. For the purposes of … Continue reading Three Years Later
A Brick, A Big Black Snake, and Some Hot Action – Adventure Camp Concludes
North Bay, on the beach. Copyright TaraKA & the Tara Chronicles, 2016. Morning When we arrived back at camp on day 3, already there was a humid haze hanging over camp. This morning’s breakfast selection included pancakes, and cereal. Pancakes are unkind to the blood sugars, but I decided to dismiss my worries over … Continue reading A Brick, A Big Black Snake, and Some Hot Action – Adventure Camp Concludes
