“Jariana” Madness
As I mentioned previously, I had a few hours to kill on New Year’s Eve waiting for midnight. The family had conked out, so I sat on my couch with Ryan Seacrest in the background and played around on my iPad. I checked email, browsed Amazon, and fired up the Kindle app hoping something I… Continue reading

Times Square, Birthday Cake, and Party Poopers
Back in my twenties, New Year’s Eve was my favorite holiday. I loved the idea of tossing out the old and ringing in the new while indulging in cocktails with my friends and strangers in loud, crowded places. I loved planning a fun evening out, overpaying for dinner, drinking and dancing, and spending New Year’s… Continue reading

My Day in Haiku
Good morning, my loves. Get dressed, eat breakfast, wash up. Time to go to school. We’re gonna be late. Why isn’t your book bag packed? My keys are missing. Dear God in Heaven, I’m running low on patience. Please send me some-NOW! Work, work, and more work. Time for a cup of coffee. Now I’ll… Continue reading

Every year when the Oscar nominations are revealed, I make a concerted effort to see all of the Best Picture nominees prior to the awards show. A few years back when there were only five movies in the category, this was simple. Now that there can be up to ten, I partake in a sort… Continue reading

A Few Words . . .
I am back at my son’s gymnastic class, exactly a week after I wrote this, where I debated scratching this plan to blog. I’m so glad I didn’t give up. Getting into a groove with WOAW has been so much fun. I’ve had my moments when Fear (along with its good friend Doubt) whispered in… Continue reading

The Happy Meter
Last night I spoke to a friend who is sad, with good reason. It didn’t feel right that someone so special could have such a crap day. As I listened to her recount her day, she revealed that she had skipped her yoga class that morning. She thought that if she had gone, her whole… Continue reading
