My Favorite Days – Part Three
The third in my posts leading up to the best day of my life: The Day Of The Goat I am not even sure what day this was, never mind what year. If I had to guess, I would say sometime in August around 1995. My husband and I went to the beach in Rhode …
My Favorite Days – Part Two
I’m posting this week about the best days in my life. Here’s another one of those days: My Wedding Day. November 30, 1991 (Yeah, I know. Not very original. But true.) I was a forty-year-old bride – and pretty close to being a forty-one-year old bride at that. I wore a traditional bridal gown. I …
My Favorite Days – Part One
Next week I’ll be celebrating the anniversary of one of the best days of my life. Just thinking about that day led me to consider what other days I would choose as my favorite days. So leading up to The Big Event, for the next couple of days I’m posting some of the runners-up. I …
Anxious
Several years ago, I had a minor health issue while my doctor was on vacation, so I went to see the MD who was covering for him. Months later, I went back to my regular GP, and I happened to see the note that the fill-in doctor wrote on my file: “Patient is an anxious, …
Get Over It
All I have to do is mention Mrs. Sweeney and my husband starts to seethe. Here’s the story (that I have heard about forty-six times): Mrs. Sweeney was my husband’s first grade teacher. A few months into the year, his mother came to school for a parent-teacher conference. And as my future husband sat by …
Stranger Than Fiction
The tricky thing about writing fiction is that it can’t be too fictional. You’re supposed to create a real world that the reader can believe. Real Life. Believable Real Life. The funny part is that Real Life is not like that. Everyone has experiences that are completely Unbelievable. The following crazy little event actually happened. Just …
It’s A Sign
It started just before Christmas. I was driving home after work, and as I looked in my rear-view mirror. I saw Santa Claus. Actually, I saw a big cardboard cut-out of Santa perched on the chimney of the house behind me. I wonder how they got that up there? I thought. And I took another …
Happy Returns
Dear Customer Service: I recently ordered two necklaces as gifts. However, when they arrived one of the necklaces was broken. Since the breakage appeared to be due to poor quality, I am returning both necklaces. Please email me the return label, as described on your website. Thank you, Nancy Roman Dear Ms. Roman: We are …
Never Mind
So I no sooner finish bitching remarking about a couple of ways in which my body is letting me down, when I find I have to backtrack just a teensy bit. As I reported, my skin is dry, but my eyelids are greasy. I can’t get eyeshadow to stay put. And as I also reported, …
Corporal Mysteries, Part Two
A year ago, I wrote about a few strange things that seem to be happening to my middle-aged body (Corporal Mysteries). I was especially concerned about my eyebrows. And I have written three separate posts about eyebrows, so I guess my concern may be bordering on obsession. But nevertheless. I don’t understand why my brows …
