I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase up shit creek without a paddle. One of those phrases I’ve heard throughout my lifetime, but not one I liked or wanted to use until this week. While my mother is still improving and recovering, my husband now has vertigo and while I don’t need a paddle for the creek, I am about…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The timeless treasures of childhood, with homemade Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies being right up there at the top. When I began baking them, we were under the impression it was absolutely fine to eat raw cookie dough, but now I patiently wait for my niece to be in a baking mood and look…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase “adaptive delusion” and the fact that I’ve decided I need a little delusion in my life. On the scale of delusion to reality, I’m off the charts into living in the real world. Somehow the facts of the moment always drown out the drama and delusion, but in a week where Harper exhausted…

I’ve Been Pondering…
Taylor Swift mania after having too much time on my hands and being in between songs and shows. Well, to be honest it all began with news of a special Taylor Swift milkshake at my favorite bakery celebrating her sold out shows Friday and Saturday night in Detroit and enjoying torturing my niece with Swiftie…

Going on strike against some topics at the water cooler or, in my case tree chats, since I don’t even know if water cooler chats still exist. As someone who once orchestrated a strike in my union days, I’m ready to walk out over any DeSantis/Trump coverage, news channels that only want to talk about…

My lack of successful predictions. As we begin my all-time favorite sporting event, the first two rounds of March Madness, I remembered that I’ve never predicted a NCAA March Madness Final Four and I’ve definitely learned this month that I can’t predict the weather. My sports predictions have been so bad at times that my…

The phrase “get off my lawn” that I hear quite often on my favorite sports show Pardon the Interruption. It always strikes me funny when they use the phrase concerning the sports attitudes and behavior of younger generations and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m enjoying the phrase too much at this age. I cheer…

I’ve Been Pondering…
Brand loyalty and ice storms. I think we set a record with three ice storms in two weeks and we have probably set another record on the number of text messages and cancellations concerning our new stove purchase. We’ve lost count, but do believe there have been over 30 text messages and ten delivery date…

I’ve Been Pondering…
A little wave of nostalgia. Over the years I’ve adjusted to all the changes when attending concerts and sporting events (cost, no purses allowed, security, arguing with the computer that I’m not a bot, the loss of a cool ticket souvenir with tickets on your phone), but now discovering at some stadiums all points of…
