I'm an empty nester mother. Maybe my kids will send me a text this Sunday on Mother's Day, if I'm lucky. But who said Mother's Day is all about waiting for acknowledgement from your kids? I've never had the fairy tale, mushy thing going on anyway.  Read more >

As middle-class, middle-aged, suburban Caucasians, it is easy to get stuck in the same routine for work, play, and leisure. Drive in the same car everyday to work, shop at the same grocery and big box store, worship at the same location and hang out at the local coffee stand.  Read more >

My husband and I are now empty nesters. Woo hoo! We raised our glasses and toasted that both our children have jobs and paychecks. One just graduated from college and the other is halfway through. That is the good news. Here is the bad news. We have one vehicle. So you ask….Why did you give away your cars to your children? They have jobs, they can buy their own vehicles?! We decided, as a couple, that it would be easier, initially, for them to get on their way without any drama, to take the two cars and get to work.  Read more >

About Me: 

I used to be funny but menopause and teenagers drove it out of me. I want to find my funny, witty self again through blogging. My thought is....the more I blog/write... the better I will get at finding my "self" again. Practice makes perfect right?

A TVLand documentary profiled Laverne and Shirley. Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams became so competitive for the "star" status comparing themselves to Lucy and Ethel. Cindy Williams exclaimed "I'm not going to be Ethel" and that is how this profile began.  I cannot compete with all the egos who want to star in my world.  I am okay with being the "best second banana in the business" as Vivian Vance declared.  Life is too short ....so shine the light on yourself you need the Vitamin D!
