Category Archives: oversharing I love to sleep. Actually, that’s an understatement, but I can’t think of another word besides “love” that conveys the message more. I cherish sleep? Worship sleep? Yeah, those too. It’s true. My mother tells me that when I was a little girl, a bedtime wasn’t necessary. In fact, I’d often ask her how much longer […]  The Friday Favorites have been hijacked this week by something that might very well trump the next month of them. Or six. Yesterday I found out I am a New York Times best selling author. Um, excuse me? No, no, no. You heard me right. A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR!! Seriously, one minute […]  46. Forty-six. XLVI. Quarante-six. (Damn, even in French it sounds old.) Tomorrow I will be 46. What. The. Hell. Like I always say about my children, I blinked and it happened. Actually, that’s not entirely true. Those years from birth to about age 15 seemed to totally drag. If you’ve been following along here the […]  I know what you may be thinking: She’s really going to tell us about her colonoscopy? Is there nothing sacred to that woman? Ha. While I don’t normally make it a habit to tell you about my … uh … habits (bathroom habits in case you needed that made clear), I have no problem opening […]  …you never know what you’re gonna get. If my 2014 had a motto, that old, overused —yet always fun to say in your best Forrest Gump voice—adage would be it. Actually, when I think about it, that metaphor would have worked beautifully for 2012 and 2013 as well. Let’s just say that I’ve bitten into a […]  I’m a big fan of over-justifying things. From the very legitimate “I should take a nap today because I didn’t sleep well last night,” to the borderline dubious “I should eat these three mini Nestle Crunch bars in the fridge because I need the shelf space for this new tub of butter.” Borderline, but still legitimate. […]  Seems there’s a big movement these days of YouTube videos (read: aspiring low-budget documentarians hoping to land the next big Dove commercial) whose main objective it is to make us feel good about ourselves…after making us feel like shit about how we currently feel about ourselves. The newest one is called “Comfortable: 50 People, 1 […]  I have sad news. Very, very sad news. One of my very closest friends has recently turned on me. Like, big time. This is a friend who I’ve had a great relationship with for about 20 years. This is a friend who has been there with me in good times and in bad. A friend […]  Dear readers, Please excuse Michelle’s two week absence. She was sick. Sort of. But really. I told everyone I was doing fine. I really believed I was doing fine. Then suddenly, I wasn’t. Was I still standing upright, smiling, posting on Facebook and going to Target? Don’t be silly. Of course I was. But was […]  I hate cleaning my bathrooms. In fact, it’s what I’m supposed to be doing right now. True story. About an hour ago I posted this on Facebook: Since then I’ve searched for — and found — the green apple candle I decided I needed to light rightthisverysecond, brushed the cat (because obviously she needed it […] |
