Remember that story about how the Little Red Hen pushes a choo-choo train up a hill, or some such? Well, anyway, I did that today! PMZEE was running a little rough and I’ve been putting off getting ‘er tuned up. Several of my “Laugh, Cry or Think” blog links didn’t open …
“I’ve got lots to think about, but nothing to worry about” I want to be as wise as the 19 year-old girl who posted this on Facebook…my brain believes it, but my body is not so sure. For most of the day mind is racing and my heart is pounding; …
arranged like little flowers open; sweet smelling, waiting for bees to visit (speed dating) Last summer I went to a speed-dating event sponsored by a local singles meetup group with my “divorce club” Besties. You might think that nothing would make you feel more needy and pathetic than joining a group of …
Speaking of dreams, a couple of weeks ago I woke up with the sudden urge to have a Tarot Card Reading (the next logical step after Xanax, counseling, divorce recovery class, hypnosis, acupuncture and life coaching). Have I mentioned that I took the divorce kind of hard? Anyway, I did a Yahoo …

It’s a slightly weird weekend in that I’m hosting my ex-in-laws at my house. I love them dearly, and they are absolutely the best people in America, but one perk of divorce should be, “no more busting my ass for YOUR side of the family!”. The truth is, I hit …
April 11, 2011 June 1, 2011 September 6, 2011 September 13, 2011 April 11, 2012 I find it difficult to tell my “divorce story” without a curiously specific use of dates. ”On April 11th, the shit hit the fan. On June 1st he moved out. On April 11th the divorce …
We’ve already covered the fact that you should be very leery of any advice I might give you on Marriage, Finance or Child-rearing (Running into the burning building), but it occurs to me that we have only scratched the surface of my areas of in-expertise. Not to brag, but they …
