Every year I drag out my Christmas pants, you know the kind that look like 70’s palazzo pants made of black crepe paper? Well when I tried to squeeze my larger-than-last-year body into them the song, I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred came to mind but the lyrics had changed slightly to, “I’m too [...]
I am NOT a fan of chain letters. I cringe when I get to the bottom of a lovely thought-provoking email and it says to send it to 10 friends in 15 seconds or you’ll be forever plagued with loneliness, warts, creeping underwear, whatever! It would take me longer than 15 seconds to pick the [...]
It’s that time of year again when you have to attend your spouse’s proverbial work Christmas party. I’d rather have needles stuck in my eyes. But someone at my husband’s office was on the ball this year. She suggested a gift exchange – with a twist.
Each person had to make a gift or bring something [...]
All the pre-Christmas chaos makes me crazy! I don’t know about you but I think holiday stress bends your brain. You get caught up in the frenzy of it all – especially the shopping. And I can’t even blame my old friend perimenopause for turning me into a bit of a she-monster!

Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone and our American friends are about to celebrate their festive holiday. I missed talking about Thanksgiving in October so I thought it appropriate to share my family’s holiday frivolity with you now.
A few days before Thanksgiving I get a phone call from my Dad.

This mangled Glad Cling Wrap box was a victim of one of my particularly bad perimenopausal days. I’m not sure about you, but some days I have absolutely no patience with anyone or anything. I can be reading the label on a can of chicken noodle soup and get this overwhelming surge of emotion – [...]
Dr. Death here. Welcome to my wild and wicked Girl’s Fright Night. Enter at your own risk.
Sister Janet has been a very naughty nun!
She was seen dancin’ with the Devil…
who was trying her best to corrupt innocent Cinderella.
But Cinderella’s conscience prevailed.
So she dusted off her dolls and read her Dr. Seuss books
while the Devil conspired with Dr. [...]
After five years of struggling in the trenches of online dating, I FINALLY found love online. Believe me, there were Saturday nights when I was convinced that I’d be sitting alone watching reruns of Seinfeld wrapped in an afghan with my blue perm but now I’ll have an afghan for two. I met Ed on Canadian [...]
You’ve made it! Your online dating strategy is working and you’ve set up a first date with an awesome guy (maybe after reading Part 4 of the series you arranged your date through instant messaging). At your first meeting, you don’t want to do anything to jeopardize your chances of going on a second date. [...]
