I don’t like working out.  I’m still waiting for an injection (safe) to be developed that will make me healthy and fit while I’m sprawled on the couch watching this week’s DVR’d tv shows.  I’ve been waiting for this for a long, long time so, in the meantime, I’m doing the next best thing.  About a … Continue reading

Ann Curry…The Last Laugh?

This post isn’t about being single, but it is about being a woman because I really think if the main character in this story had been a man, the folks in charge would have figured out a better way to handle the whole situation. Remember when Ann Curry got fired from the Today Show this past … Continue reading

Gift Guide for Putting a Spin on Valentine’s Day

When I was a kid, I loved Valentine’s Day. I got such a kick out of giving out Valentine’s Day cards with big red hearts to all the people who made me happy.

Travel Tuesday: The Mansion at Noble Lane (aka Heaven)

This past weekend, I discovered a little piece of heaven.  My friend, B, and I decided we needed some R&R, so we headed up to The Mansion at Noble Lane, a boutique resort in northeastern Pennsylvania (Bethany) that was originally the home of the FW Woolworth family.  I was looking for a place where I, in all my singleness, … Continue reading

Fab Friday Favs: Scents and Sensibility
