“Back in my Wildwood days with Janet, you were either blessed with a beautiful body or not. And if you were not, you could just chill out and learn a trade. Now if you’re not “hot”, you are expected to work on it until you are. It’s like when you renovate a house and you’re legally required to leave just one of the original walls standing. If you don’t...

B: “Date night tonight! What do you want for dinner?”
G: “Ummm…. I was thinking Chinese.”
B: “Ugh. I hate Chinese. I’d rather have Mexican.”
… And thus goes every date night for the past 6 years. Proof that love can exist despite differing food preferences.
(PS- We’re having enchiladas.) :P

Sadly, the world may not have changed as much since the 1960’s as I would have liked!!

We have long ago decided as a nation that Health Care is a right for all people- that is why our Emergency Departments do not refuse care to anyone, regardless of ability to pay. And guess what? All of those uninsured people who come to the ED and can’t afford to pay are getting treated and WE ARE ALREADY ABSORBING THE COSTS. So why are people so vehemently opposed to a bill that...

– From “Blame”, a book I am currently reading- it’s a fictional story about alcoholism. I first heard about it on NPR, along with a non-fiction book on the same subject matter called “Mommy Doesn’t Drink Here Anymore”, which is next on my reading list. I’m...
Today my husband “surprised” me by putting all-weather floor mats in my Volvo. He put them in this morning, and I found them when I went to run some errands this afternoon… It was his gift to me, and the thing is, he probably thinks it’s the most romantic thing he’s done all year… Boys are so funny. :P

I was awake for 24 hours before I finally got a nap today around 3 pm. George got home from work around 4, and, not realizing I had gotten so little sleep, attempted to nicely wake me up by playing with my hair. Apparently, I then yelled at him “You ruin everything!” and went back to snoring… I have no recollection of this event, but luckily my husband has a great sense of...
“I love life…Yeah, I’m sad, but at the same time, I’m really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It’s like…It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I’m feeling is like a beautiful...

Is it bad that I looked for the movie “Unfaithful” with Diane Lane and Richard Gere in the Valentine’s Movie section at Target? Obviously, it was not there… I feel like this says something about my cynicism… :P
