Making my kids hate me one post at a time.
Last Wednesday (May 5) was my birthday. The day itself was great — my husband sent me for a fantastic deep tissue massage and I had dinner at the Copper Grill in Destin with some of the best company a person can have. But overall, the birthday season has been rough on the old ego. […]
Someone gave me a taste of my own medicine Friday night and my first reaction was to get up and figuratively kick her ass. But as it was, all she got was what we in the South call “an ugly look” because I was too shocked to do anything, and then she was gone. First […]
I know these pictures don’t really do it justice but they’re all I’ve got and I thought showing them to you right away would be prudent after starting off with the provocative title “Swinger’s Paradise.” I wouldn’t want you to get the wrong idea about the kind of place Gabe and I went to on […]

I invented a fanfreakingtastic and super-refreshing adult beverage you just have to try this summer. It’s absolutely addictive.
