I have to admit that I have had a lack of writing motivation. It is not that I haven’t been thinking big thoughts, keeping busy and generally motoring along, but I just haven’t had the mental energy to put fingers to keyboard. Work is going well. Really well. For the first time in my careerContinue reading “Where Have I Been?”

Cheating
It is Wednesday, so time for a Hump Day post about dating, sex and relationships. Today is not very sexy… How many times do cheaters marry the other person? I thought of this because my dad and stepmom are celebrating 50 years together. That is an amazing milestone. My mom claimed they had an affairContinue reading “Cheating”
Unpacked
I am home within 30 minutes of the plane touching down. Within an hour, I am 100% unpacked, my face is washed, teeth are brushed and my PJs are on so I am in bed. Delicious. It was a good trip. I got tons of baby time with my grandson. He is an incredible nuggetContinue reading “Unpacked”
Reconnecting
Recently I reconnected with two former business colleagues. I have known both for 20 years or more. It was lovely. The first had called me. She’s in sales and was checking in to see if I needed her services. I didn’t, but we got caught up. She lives nearby and plays golf! We made plansContinue reading “Reconnecting”
Housing Crisis – Next Steps
I wrote about my upcoming housing crisis last week. I fretted a bit and then took a step back. I decided several key things: I won’t settle. I still want a garage. This has been on my wish list from the start. I want the garage for my car so I can leave it thereContinue reading “Housing Crisis – Next Steps”
Housing Crisis
I have been very, very lucky in my life. I was not impacted by the Great Recession, had a stable job during the pandemic, found a new, better job at the age of 57, got a mild case of Covid. Those are just a few examples that pop into my head. Now I am facingContinue reading “Housing Crisis”
Hunkering Down
If we are all preparing for a recession next year, will our preparation make it a self-fulfilling prophecy? I don’t know. I just know that I have been blissfully gliding along and spending money with abandon this year. Time to stop. I spent about $4,000 redoing my apartment. I spent about $3,000 traveling. I spentContinue reading “Hunkering Down”
What’s My End Game?
I am whipping myself into shape. In the past year I have lost 26 pounds, gotten LASIK, finishing up Smile Direct, my eye lash lifts, countless serums and lotions, major wardrobe overhaul. Why? To feel sexy and attractive. Yep, for the first time in my life I am really focused on me and my body.Continue reading “What’s My End Game?”
Vacation Detour
Have you ever had a vacation that did not go as planned? I mean 75% of your plans go sideways or cancelled. I just had one and it was a test of my optimism. Of course, as the eternal optimist, I rallied, but geez. It was not what I had in mind when I packedContinue reading “Vacation Detour”
I’m Baaaack!
As I write, this I have Eminem’s Without Me rattling around in my head. “It’s been so empty without me.” I have missed my blog a bit, so I have been journaling a few things. The truth is that I have been too lazy to pull out the computer and put those words onto thisContinue reading “I’m Baaaack!”
What is next for this 50-something empty nester?
