The saga of the leg goes on.  I’m told I must have surgery on my dear little broken and misplaced fibula.  SURGERY!  We’re talking metal plates and screws.  A manly scar.  Another true grit moment.  One more notch on the old belt.
So from this day forward and into the next three months, I’ll be the [...]

Yes, this is MY BROKEN LEG!!!
Before we go any further, let me explain that I’m on some nifty pain meds, so I’m not responsible for my actions.  If only I’d known this in college.  I could have gotten away with soooo much stuff.
To rewind a bit, except for this one little thing, this little broken [...]

We’re having a discussion.  I want Wilson to go to school to become a Therapy Dog.  An elder statesman, so to speak.  He could shake hands with the gentlemen and give slurpy kisses to all the babies.  He could smile at the ladies and schmooze with the boys down at the bowling alley.  He could [...]

I haven’t felt well lately — something about impaired blood sugar and low potassium, both of which are butt-kicking maladies.  Not one to let this just slide on by without notice, I’ve concocted a chicken soup guaranteed to either cure you, kill you, or turn you into a great Jewish mother.
Here’s the recipe:
1 boneless, skinless [...]

A few weeks ago, I came across this photo of my mother in a box filled with other such photos.  This one struck me, though.  This one seems the perfect summation of my mother and who she was.  She was Jackie-O, Lucille Ball, Keira Knightly, with a dab of Marilyn Monroe thrown in for good [...]

You forget.  It’s really a simple thing, this forgetting.  You do something, or think something, and moments later it’s gone.  Poof!  Gone.  Whole conversations are lost or changed or morphed into something entirely different from their original essence.
Take for instance the notion that I just spent half an hour constructing a lovely post, only to [...]

The groomer called today with a reminder that Scarlett is overdue for a haircut.  I dunno.  I think she’s looking pretty classy.  Maybe just add a side-swept bang to add a hint of mystery — a bit of that come-hither naughtiness.
Of course, she’s been begging for a saucy little face-framing Dara Torres-style bob lately.  After [...]

Hooray for the Happy Bunny Place.  Hooray and huzzah!
Toodlee-doot-tee-doo.  Happy Places for everyone.  Here’s a Happy Place for you … and one for you … and a grand one for you too.
Ah, to only make it that easy.  I talked on the phone with a friend today who’s going through a bit of a rough [...]

I’m searching for a new hairdo.  One that will accentuate my beautiful eyes.  One that screams … “It’s Me and I’m Gorgeous!”  One that conversely is natural and humble.  One that DEFIES GRAVITY.
I’m taking this picture to my hairdresser tomorrow.
I’m done now with obsessing over the hair thing.  Yet one more (male) doctor confirmed this [...]

I should be so lucky.  Chicken Hair!  Now, why didn’t I think of that?
Thanks to my dear friends and readers who were kind in their responses (please see previous post), uplifting, funny and generous.  Thank you all — and Yay –  HATS TO ALL!!!!
Each person who so kindly responded to my frantic plea will receive [...]
