No "Mad Men" Makes For A Very Mad Woman...


I don't ask for much...good friends, a good glass of wine, a great pair of heels, a good television show (which,  incidentally, is few and far between.) I have all of this and more...or at least I thought I did.

The Lost Art Of Accountability...


Wikipedia states accountability "is often used synonymously with such concepts as responsibility, answer-ability, blameworthiness, liability, and other terms associated with the expectation of account-giving." Yikes...methinks several may be in dire need of a lesson or two.

The City That Never Sleeps...And Neither Did I...

My trip to New York City was nothing short of fabulous! And of course, it wouldn't be me without some form of adventures.

Let's Hear It For New York...


I can't wait! Tomorrow I leave for two days in New York City and I can't wait! I have been singing Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind all evening!

The Beautiful Breath...


I don't mean to take wonderful blessings in my life for granted. But I guess I do. This evening I was thinking of one that never truly comes to mind...until it did. And I was amazed.

Until We Meet Again...


Oh, the sorrow. I'm not sure how I shall go on...my heart heavy as I walked away from you, yet knowing it is for the best and you are in good hands. At least, that's what the technician assured me. But what does he know? He doesn't know you the way I know you.

Ode To Nude...


Did this beautiful piece of art capture your attention? How could it not...the colors, the play of light...don't you just wonder what she's thinking? There is something about her that is vulnerable yet so bien dans sa peu. Positively dreamy...

But I Don't Wanna Be A Pirate...


After listening to the radio on the way home from work and hearing about all the horrors occurring in Japan, the sheer madness of Charlie Sheen, more corruption in NYS politics, and the status of employment rates, I decided it was time. Time to break out the "Seinfelds". Sometimes you just hafta to take charge and be master of your domain.

What's Your Damage, Heather...


I don't care what anyone says, I have adored Winona Ryder for like, I don't know...forever.

Go To Bed, Sleepy Head...


I don't know about you, but this whole spring ahead with the clocks knocks me for a loop.

Living Deeply Our New Life...


Today in Church I was overcome with the fruition of what several people tried to get me to understand six years ago. When someone you love who has had such an impact on your life is suddenly gone, you must learn to live a new kind of normal. Or as close to whatever normal could possibly be in my world.

I Thought Of You Today...And Smiled....


I was just going about my day doing some of the things I tend to do in my world when suddenly thoughts of you came flooding into my mind. And I smiled.

Huffing and Puffing All The Way To The Bank...


Here is a small confession...I have never visited The Huffington Post let alone read anything reported therein. But Arianna must have done something right, because AOL has just paid this woman beaucoup bucks  for her website.

Ashes Remind Me To Clean Out The Dust...


Today is Ash Wednesday. As I received my ashes this morning, I was reminded once again why I love my faith so very much and why the rich Catholic traditions mean so much to me.

Oh Maureen...I Wish You Would Have Called...


Oh, the inhumanity of it all. It's like my lottery numbers came in and the state said, "Oh, sorry, we know you have always wanted this, but your ticket was from last week. You seem to be a day late and a dollar short. So sorry - you are the weakest link. Good bye!"

I Dream In Cashmere...


I have decided cashmere is one of the most luxurious feelings in the world. The caress of a fabric soft as an angel's wings against my skin is like heaven on earth; I could wear it every single day for the rest of my life with no shame or regret.

Never Underestimate The Power Of A Great Shoe...


I got the look the other day. The "just how many pairs of shoes does one person need" look. The "why do you need so many pairs of black shoes" stare. What can I say? One pair of shoes does not a wardrobe make.

The King Gets His Due...


The Academy Awards show and all the glitz that accompanies it has come and gone. Generally I do not get drawn into all the pomp and circumstance, but this year I was actually hopeful a true master of his craft would receive the recognition long overdue. I am pleased to relay I was not disappointed.

Servant Song...


One of the many aspects I love about my faith is the beautiful music we worship to. And there are a multitude of these hymns and lyrical prayers I can associate with different parts of my life. One of my favorites was really on my mind today.

The Power of Positive Energy...


Well kiddies, vacation has officially come to an end. While the tan is lingering I have returned to the daily grind, hit the books, and by now it feels like I never went away. Does that ever happen to you? Luckily, I have people with positive energy in my life.
