No Reservations: A Trip To Key West

No Reservations: A Trip To Key West

I did something last weekend that I never, ever do. That goes against every bone in my body. (And no, it's not some Tantric sex thing.) I arrived in a town without a hotel reservation for the weekend. Ay Dios mio. Or as my people would say: Oy vey.
New Refrigerator Is As Good As An Orgasm (Almost)

New Refrigerator Is As Good As An Orgasm (Almost)

My refrigerator died two and a half weeks ago. After 14 years, almost to the day, the poor thing had finally had enough. And its death was not surprising. My family worked that fridge hard. Babies to teens. First marriage to a second one. While all around it, things changed. New...
Of Mothers And Daughters (Sharing Clothes)

Of Mothers And Daughters (Sharing Clothes)

It started with the feet. A few years ago, my daughter started sharing my shoes. Flip flops and sandals but not my wedges. Too young for that. She got her ears pierced and she started wearing some of my earrings. And the diamond necklace I got from her father after...
Me, My Kid And Big Sean

Me, My Kid And Big Sean

My daughter and I went to see Big Sean last Thursday night. Yes, Big Sean. The rapper who sings Dance A$$ with Nicki Minaj. Who denigrates women with his lyrics. My almost 14 year-old kid has a thing for rappers. And explicit music.

Messy Bed, Messy Head

I am a new woman. No, I didn’t have a boob lift. And no, I haven’t lost those 10 lingering pounds. And most definitely not because I’ve discarded my identity and am starting over in Las Vegas. (Though that does sound appealing at times.)
After The Reunion (High School)

After The Reunion (High School)

What to wear? Are my roots showing? Do I need to get my mustache waxed? These were some of the things that I was thinking about in the days before my 30 year high school reunion. Then, of course, there were also these thoughts: Who’s going to show up? Will the women all be fat and...
High School Reunion (30 Years)

High School Reunion (30 Years)

I'm going home this weekend for my high school reunion. I graduated 30 years ago. Thirty years is a long time. A really, really long time.
Out On A Saturday Night (Role Reversal)

Out On A Saturday Night (Role Reversal)

Talk about a role reversal. This past Saturday, all three of our teens went to the movies. Without us. The 16 year-old boy had asked if we could drop him off at the theater so he could meet up with a half a dozen of his friends from high school.
Worrying About Sex (In Your 40's)

Worrying About Sex (In Your 40′s)

Sometimes, I worry about sex. Yes, me. I know, it’s odd. Right? I mean, I’ve written about sex a lot. I’ve reviewed multitudes of sex toys. I’ve even used the term “anal” here a few times. (Gasp!) But here are two of my worries. One, I worry that I don’t put out enough. Sure, hubs...
Oh, That's Why I Feel This Way (PMS)

Oh, That’s Why I Feel This Way (PMS)

I get in to bed. My heart is beating rapidly but all I’ve done is walk up the stairs. My head is full of things I have to get done. I actually have a pain on one side of my brain and I’m contemplating waking my husband up and telling him that I’m having a...
