It was my sister’s idea. I blame her. Our family trip to Florida is just about 6 weeks away. Which means bathing suits are only six weeks away. Bikinis. One pieces. Tankinis. Whatever version… they are little more than glorified underwear made out of spandex. A glorious invention for the 6-ft buxom blonde, like [...]

Seen and Heard, Volume 1
Posted in Just Plain Fun, tagged conversation, overheard, seen and heard on January 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Overheard conversations can be incredibly entertaining. This one took place in the Detroit Metro Airport between one extremely patient gate attendant and one elderly lady whose social filter has obviously rusted with age… Excuse me. Did you know I came in on the 3:15? I’ve always wanted to say that. I came in on the [...]
A Purse-Driven Adventure
Posted in Just Plain Fun, tagged icky, Payless, purse on March 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I like purses. Almost as much as I like shoes. In fact, I rarely get new shoes without also picking out some sort of coordinating handbag. But my most recent handbag purchase might have broken me of that habit. It was a cute purse. And it called me from the other side [...]
Elementary, My Dear Watson
Posted in Just Plain Fun, tagged Innocent, Laundry, Mystery, Sherlock Holmes on February 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’m a fan of Sherlock Holmes: The mystery… The intrigue… The unusually large mustache. But what’s really impressive is the fact that he had to rely on his knowledge to solve his cases. Unlike more contemporary police work that uses a bunch of scientific gadgets, Holmes was armed with little more than his brainpower, a [...]
All I Want for Christmas is a Semi-Automatic Shotgun
Posted in Just Plain Fun, tagged Christmas, Odd Christmas Gifts, Perfect Gift on December 2, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I don’t really want a shot gun for Christmas. But I wonder what my mother would say if I asked for one. I’m usually the daughter who lists very predictable things on her Christmas list. And my mom is thrilled–I’m really very easy to shop for. My dad and brothers, however… not so much. This is the [...]
Twang It, Dang It

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Texas this past month on two back-to-back business trips–first to Austin for a week and then to Dallas for another 4 days. I encountered many adventures on these two trips, my excursions with my GPS for starters. I’m still a little confused by the Texas roadways, especially [...]
Murphy’s Law of the Road

So if you haven’t heard by now, I was in a car accident last Friday on my way to work. I had taken a little detour so I could hit the Starbucks drive-thru (my usual Friday route) and had noticed how unusual the traffic was. It would probably make me late for work. Go figure. [...]
For the Love of Shoes

I could be Carrie Bradshaw. Well, minus the recreational sexual escapades part. But I am a single gal in a city (albeit a smaller one). I’ve got the curly hair. I’ve got the cute midtown condo. I’ve got the writing thing down. I’ve got the small group of girlfriends who know me so well it’s [...]
Home, James
Posted in Just Plain Fun, tagged Flat Tires, GPS, Maps on September 25, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Sometimes I wish I had a chauffeur. Someone to cart me around wherever I need to go, whenever I need to go there. Someone who is always waiting for me with the car door open. I imagine his name is James (because aren’t all chauffeurs named James?) And I imagine that James would know about my [...]
