Dear American Airlines, You Suck! Again!

 So, I got to the airport with my two allowable carry-on bags. American Airlines forced me to check one and then promptly lost it. Well to be fair they didn’t actually lose it. The Miami ground crew decided not to put it on my plane. They chose instead to send it down on the next flight. No worries, right? They would simply forward it to me wherever I happen to be staying in Nassau. Too bad I wasn’t staying. …See More

The Urban Erma: Give Me One Reason to Stay Here

For the first time in my entire career as a professional performer, I walked out on a gig. I picked up my purse, bid farewell to the Promoter/Booker/Deejay and took my Black Ass home. There have been many gigs over the years that I wished I had walked out on. Or just had the flat out good sense to say no to them in the first place.There have been:Country club gigs where the people are too uptight to laugh.Bar gigs where patrons would rather watch the sporting event du jour on TV than the comedy…See More

"You captured my feelings perfectly. No rational parent would let their kid do that and perhaps an "intervention" from a stranger would have sent him over the edge. Sigh. Thanks for reading."

Margaret Dilloway commented on the blog post 'When Daddy's a Dumb Ass'
"Oh my gosh, that's terrible. I had a similar thing happen the other day; a toddler ran out to my moving car in a drugstore parking lot. His dad just let him. I stopped the car as the kid ran up; if I'd kept moving I would have crushed him.…"

When Daddy's a Dumb Ass

It’s summer time. School is out and presumably parents are already beginning to feel the pressure of dealing with their own progeny without the buffer of a school day. There’s bound to be some strain, some fraying at the edges, but I thought parents could at least hold out until August.Listen to this Post on PODBEANSubscribe for FREE on…See More

The Great Spanx Experiment

One More Thing I Can Check Off My Bucket List  --- It’s not necessarily true that you need to experience something personally in order to write a joke about it, but it helps. I’d heard comedians (male and female) tell jokes about Spanx long before I knew what they were. I could figure out from the context of the joke that Spanx are this generation’s girdle, the poor woman’s…See More

Off with Her Hair

© 2011 Leighann LordI’ve heard that in some parts of India when a woman receives a blessing she gives thanks to God by cutting off all her hair. Couldn’t I just send a thank you note?“Dear God, Good looking out! You’re the best!”- Love, Leighann   xoxoListen to the Post on PODBEANSubscribe…See More

Me? A Supermodel Look-A-Like?

© 2011 Leighann LordDo you know who Pat Cleveland is? I didn’t. If I'd been playing another round of Game Night Trivial Pursuit, I would have lost my turn. I'm sure you hard core fashionistas are aghast at my appalling lack of knowledge and are un-liking me on FaceBook as you read this. To be honest I may never have known who she is if I had not been power shopping in…See More

Childhood in a Bag, A Not So Trivial Pursuit

© 2011 Leighann LordA close friend recently hosted a “Game Night” and all of us who attended were charged with bringing our favorites. Rising to the challenge, I brought a goodie bag full of old school: dominoes, cloth and wire jump ropes for Double Dutch, and a sack full of classic metal jacks. You heard me. Jacks! Yeah, I took it there. You can’t get metal jacks anymore. You see, now we…See More

If You Ain't Sharin', People Ain't Carin'

© 2011 Leighann LordI was recently asked to lend my emcee-hosting talents to an event for a Local Community Group, cool. On a Saturday night, not so cool. For most people, Saturday is their time off. For me, it’s my time on. I work nights and weekends. In fact, Saturday is usually when I can and do make the most money. Giving up a Saturday night, is like asking a nine-to-fiver to…See More

Beyond Scared Straight (And I'm Not Afraid to Admit It)

  © 2010 Leighann Lord Before I was married, I used to love falling asleep with the TV on. Just set the timer for 30 minutes and drift off. However, when my husband goes to bed he needs complete silence and utter darkness. He is not remotely comforted by the glow of the flat screen or the lilt of late night commercials. He can't even drift off to TV shows he likes. That…See More

The Urban Erma: New York City Girl

It happened again today. I’m at least a thousand miles away from home and someone said to me, “You look like a New Yorker.” They’re right, of course, but they said it with such a surety I wondered if they somehow also knew what side of the bed I like to sleep on.

In case you’re wondering, yes, I was wearing…
