Pick Me! Pick Me!
Wednesday I had an interview. I answered all the questions asked of me expertly. Asked the interviewer some pretty good questions as well. Actually had stumped her with a few of them. Came across that I was an authority on how to raise funds in this challenging economy. And during said interview, I felt as […]
The Value of Friendship
Jobs these days seem awfully hard to come by. There are times when I fell so utterly unemployable, like not a soul cares to hire me. I indulge in these pity parties sometimes, not thinking about what I do have. A reminder that there are better days would sure be welcome sometimes. I decided to […]
Mis-Match
One morning, before I perused the job posts and tried to find something I could apply to, I went to my dating app to see what action there might be. A man “liked” me and he seemed halfway decent. He was a writer, like me, and he played poker, also, like me. We were about […]
Courage In Profiles
Think for a minute. If a stranger walked up to on the street and said, “Hey, you! Describe yourself!” what would you say? Adjectives and nouns swirl in galactic formation, begging to partner with verbs that’ll promise some hot action. But are they talking about me? Or someone I’d like to be? Recently, I had […]
Dating: Pond or Sewer?
Dating is a sewer of emotions. One minute, you’re flustered and stomach-butterflied, the other, you’re bewildered and disgusted. Eventually, you’re over it and move on. Your emotions go through the treatment plant, and if you’re lucky, they come out as clear as a shiny-sparkling pond, ready to try them out on the next person. Recently, […]
Success
Because I’ll take any excuse to whip up some pancakes and sausages, I invited two of my friends over for brunch. I know, that’s pretty said, but then again, you can’t beat pumpkin pancakes with link breakfast sausage on a chilly October morning. That, and I hadn’t seen Chelsea and Connie in ages. Well before […]
The Foreigner
We sat around the dining room table, chewing on the remains of scones and a fruit platter. The Zoom version of our writers group ended and a discussion of its topic lingered a short while after. But of course, as conversations goes, it turned to the inevitable, at least in this group. Husbands. Isn’t it […]
Confidence Game
I don’t know the first thing about chess. Well, okay. I know what pawns do, and pretty much what kings and queens do. Apart from that, a game with me would last about an eighth of a second. Still, this chess set created from sculptural table and chairs had me thinking. Oh, sure, I’d love […]
Driving Away
Photo by Enric Cruz Lu00f3pez on Pexels.com It’d been a fantasy of my son’s to own a vintage Mustang. I had one, and to be quite honest, it was terrible. A real piece of junk. Sure, it looked fabulous. A silver convertible, black leather interior, 289 V8 engine. Its signature roar announced to the world […]
ARGH!
Nora Ephram famously once said, “Everything is copy.” Bearing that in mind, I write this blog using experiences and incidences that occur in my daily life. After all, isn’t that what blogs are for? Today is one of those days where my unfiltered self must burst through, if for no other reason I really need […]
