I’m No Fort Knox

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Real Women

78.  That’s a rough estimate of the number of active current passwords in my life. I’m sure there are more.  This number just represents the passwords saved in my SSHP (Super Secret Hidey Place), not to be confused with the … Continue reading →

It’s An Age Thing

Posted on April 25, 2024 by Real Women

I’d like to say it is a gradual and subtle shift.  But really, once we realize it has happened, it feels sudden and jarring.  At some point, I don’t know how or when exactly, we all reach a point when … Continue reading →

The Need for Future Fluff

Posted on December 27, 2023 by Real Women

‘Tis the season for…. the year in review.  Ugh.  It seems everywhere we turn during this last week of the year, we are getting a rehash of the 12 months we just lived through. Honestly, these things annoy me. Why … Continue reading →

You Don’t Have To Be My BFF. But..

Posted on October 23, 2023 by Real Women

Like many little girls, I wanted everyone to like me.  Not in the way of being queen of the pretty-and- popular-posse; if anything, I was anti-clique and substantially nerdy.  It was more like I just wanted everyone to get along, … Continue reading →

People Passion

Posted on March 27, 2023 by Real Women

Most people don’t suck.  I know this may be hard to believe on the days that we listen to too much news, hear about another atrocity, end up in a crowded space that feels just too “peopley” or get a … Continue reading →

Food Memories

Posted on November 23, 2022 by Real Women

My son came home yesterday for the holiday break. Always an event that makes a Happy Mom.  Over supper, we were chatting about Thanksgiving food, and he shared a memory about his Uncle and an artichoke. You see, my older … Continue reading →

The Digital How You Doin’

Posted on August 23, 2022 by Real Women

It’s hard to escape them.  Even if you unplug and run away, they will be there when you get back. And they will have brought friends.  Lots of them.  Sounds like a cheesy horror flick, but I’m just talking about … Continue reading →

Word Up.

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Real Women

Not surprisingly, I love words.  Both real words and creatively made-up phrases.  There are lots of supposedly official words that are virtually unknown but are super fun.  Like ferrule, the small piece of metal that separates the pencil from the … Continue reading →

Personal History

Posted on October 6, 2021 by Real Women

When was the last time you wrote a letter?  Not with a keyboard or a touch pad on your phone, but a handwritten letter using pen and paper, then fold it into an envelope, affix a stamp and send it … Continue reading →

But Seriously….

Posted on June 29, 2021 by Real Women

I used to be a more “serious” bicyclist.  Cool gear, longer distances, group events, fundraising rides.  Now I’m a pleasure rider, and I’m amused when some of the serious bikers pass me by.  There they are in their color-coordinated bike … Continue reading →
