After a five-day Thanksgiving break, I visited my personal e-mail and found it flooded with messages from friends: Amazon, Rite-Aid, Staples, Jo-Ann’s Fabrics, Calendars — all the people who bring meaning to my life. After I had, um, disposed of … Continue reading →

You Don’t Have to Feel Thankful to Be Thankful

Posted on November 22, 2010 by This Woman Writes

When you’re pregnant, it seems as if everyone around you, including men, is pregnant as well. Well, we’re not pregnant (breathe, mom; we’ve honestly stopped at four), but we do look around us and see a number of people in a … Continue reading →

Christmas Cheer, Unemployment, and the Recession

Posted on November 16, 2010 by This Woman Writes

I am a Pollyanna pessimist, which means that, although my natural tendency is to look at the negative aspects of life, I continuously train myself to look at the brighter side. I try not to be an irritating ass about … Continue reading →

The Dreaded German Meal Knocks Life Awry

Posted on November 10, 2010 by This Woman Writes

Cocooned in my baby-of-the-family world, I assumed for years that I was the only one who wept upon returning from school and smelling that peculiar acrid smell, but at a family gathering once I mentioned the “German Meal” and was surprised to hear all four sibling groan.

We Are a Nation United in Our Divisions

The Jewel of All Dogs — Ruby Reigns Supreme

Posted on October 27, 2010 by This Woman Writes

She burrows. She secretes food scraps in odd places. She has scratched both entry doors with her sharp, curved talons. She snuggles, aggressively; from the standpoint of the human being, this feels like sitting with the picked-over carcass of a roasted chicken. She smells like a little dog. Continue reading →

Happy Birthday to You, Me, and Tiny Tim

Posted on October 14, 2010 by This Woman Writes

Knowing that some people have had to live with the horrible words, uttered in anger or thoughtlessness, “I wish that you had never been born!” I determined that those I loved would not hear those words from me, ever, but rather the opposite, and sometime during the day I make a point of taking the BP aside and saying, “I am so glad that you were born on this day.”

The Something Club

Posted on September 28, 2010 by This Woman Writes

Theater Rage

Posted on September 17, 2010 by This Woman Writes

Now theaters are like highways — most of the people you encounter there are reasonably normal, but the odd ones — those who float along at 45 miles per hour in a 60 m.p.h. zone, only to accelerate to 75 just during the time that there is a passing lane — make you understand why the term “road rage” was coined.
