Great expectations

Sometimes we expect more than we get.

Sometimes the expectation is completely within reach, based on personal fortitude.

For instance, I used to be a Jazzercise junkie. Then I had two kids, and I tried taking them with me to the Jazzerdaycare at the location to which I'd become addicted. The kids hated it, and I didn't blame them.

The last place I'd want to be for an hour would be in a small room surrounded by a… Continue

Sentiment for sale

There are times when I'm thrifting that I have to flip my emotional switch to the OFF position. I've seen so many very personal items on the shelves, and it makes my heart hurt a little wondering how they ended up at the Last Chance Texaco of sentiment.

So many wedding dresses.

I was married for a long time. I had a lavish wedding that eventually came to a less-than-fairy-tale conclusion. But my white poofy wedding… Continue

Who died and left you boss?

When you stumble upon a deeply rooted secret, it’s nearly impossible to keep quiet. And yet, that is exactly what my family did for decades. None of us had the gumption to ask our dad about the bizarre happenings in Wisconsin. We each furtively hoped that he would one day grant us an exclusive tell-all about the time grandfather abandoned the family to become the co-leader of a controversial, anti-communist shrine.

And so, tucking my head and staying low to the ground, I snooped. I… Continue

THE GURLESQUE

WHAT IT ISN’T…

Over the past few days, there has been a flurry of recent debate on the Gurlesque (see my post here). Numerous contradictions, conflations, and confusions abound, coupled with not a lot of resolution or agreement regarding what has cumulatively… Continue

Letting Go

“Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.” ~Anon

There are many things I envision doing in the two hours I normally have for myself, after my children go to bed. Fixing items is definitely not one of them.

After dinner, my daughter decided she was going to measure every piece of furniture in the living room, every knick-knack on tables and cabinets, and even her dad, who was lying oblivious on the couch… Continue
