Yep, it’s my birthday. The big 42. I remember when 42 sounded ancient. Now that I’ve reach that age I can’t say it’s much different from the other years. I would like to think I have a bit more sense than I did at 20! I always like my birthday–well, maybe not so much the […]

More PMS, Please
People think I’m crazy. But, I love my PMS! Sure, I get a little edgy. I might fly off the handle for no apparent reason. I may feel like electricity is running through my vains. I might even cry over a cereal commercial. So, why do I love it so much? Most of the time […]
