  • Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 30)

    Murray is fodder for hundreds of stories. But for whatever reason, the stories that make us laugh the most – the things that stop us dead in our tracks, uproot our days with comedic relief – have to do with food. To be honest, I’m not sure if these stories are even remotely funny when…

  • Mama and Baby Yoga? Never Again.

    I’ve done some dumb things in my time. There was that time I slathered myself in Crisco while living in Raleigh and tried to suntan. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Instead I ended up with second degree burns and skin cancer. There was also that time in college that I did…

  • NowBlowPoMe: 4 Out of 5 Doctors' Wives Agree. It's a Good Show.

    I used to work for doctors. Well, I worked with doctors who acted as consultants on projects designed for other doctors. But they were doctors. They had letters like MD stuck to the end of their name. One day I was given a simple task: design a magazine spread and a tables of contents. For…

  • Yes, Michele. Yes, You Can.

    If you’ve been reading this Web site for a while you probably already know that I don’t hold too much back. I will write about almost anything personal, the more self-depricating the better.

We sat outside and sipped a glass of wine while they pumped music into the garden. Grace Slick came on and Toby said, “Emory, people think this woman is cool.…

  • I Blame America!

    Before I begin, I need to make it clear that I’m not concerned about this. And I certainly do not pity myself. I think I made some really bad decisions when I was younger and I’m paying for them now. I’m pale. I’m covered in freckles some of which are questionable. I make an excellent…

  • BCC + YOU = BFF

    This post is also going to send a wave of paranoia over some folks. It’s not meant to. I’m not necessarily talking about you. If you’re guilty of anything I write about, it doesn’t make you a bad person or someone I dislike. In fact, I have been guilty of some of these crimes as…

  • Babysitting

    I received an email from my sister-in-law the other day. It read: “Just so you know, you get what you pay for with babysitting. See attached photo…” I haven’t laughed that hard in quite some time. I love my parents.
