Let’s go back to the subject of politics for this blog post – the upcoming presidential elections to be precise. People are probably tired of me talking about it and I know I’m becoming such a killjoy. I don’t even live in America anymore. Does that make me unpatriotic? NO. Like most Americans living overseas, […]

Forever Alone
I think we have all pondered this question a few times in our lives. Am I meant to be alone? Forever? For my mom’s great Aunt Belle the answer was yes. She was a spinster who lived on the outskirts of her brother’s farm. Her brother was my mom’s grandfather. He probably felt it was […]
The Drunk
Today and often my mind goes back to the time I first arrived in Germany. What a beautiful, fairytale-like city. Everything was new and exciting. I was just settling into my new life and meeting new people gradually which is so hard when you don’t speak the language. At the time, we were living in […]
She’s Got It
Today’s a little drab, and depression tends to sink in with such weather, so let’s talk about someone magical – silent film star Clara Bow, someone who always embodied cheerful, carefree abandon. I have always loved Clara. She always seemed to be having fun no matter what and didn’t give a sh**t what anybody thought […]
Something is Rotten in the State of Denmark
After a long, stressful week it’s finally Friday. With the last bit of strength I can muster, I think I’m gonna do a cartwheel. Maybe not since I still need it to fold laundry with. With so much going on in the world, this is no time for cartwheels. The world’s lost it’s freakin’ mind. […]
Fit For a King
Friday is finally upon us so I’m going to write a totally frivolous article. Let’s talk about Pippa Middleton for a minute since her face just cropped up, as it does in the Daily Mail. Philipa of course is Kate’s sister, who is Prince William’s wife. Pippa was one that caused a sensation when she […]
When You Wish Upon a Star
I am overspent this week so this post probably won’t amount to much but here goes. Let’s talk about celebrity political endorsements since my facebook page runneth over with them. I, for one, don’t need anyone to to tell me who to vote for, especially not a celebrity. I’m happy now I spent all those […]
All Aboard
What is it about Honey Boo Boo and family that everyone finds so fascinating? Is it their southern charm? Somehow I doubt it. Is it the disbelief that people like this actually exist? Possibly. Could it be that everyone loves to watch a train wreck? Definitely. We see tagedy in the making, yet it’s hard […]
Soul on the Dole
We have all hit rock bottom at some point in our lives and sometimes we have to take whatever help we can get such as public assistance. I was forced to go on food stamps about 10 years ago, when my son was real small and I was still a single mom. Times were tough […]
The Body is an 8
As I was browsing through the online news today, as if there is any newspapers these days, I noticed an article about Paris Hilton and her new boyfriend going to the beach on yet another Hawaiin holiday – awwww how nice. I noticed quite a few articles here and there since her gay slur. I […]
