What Would Wonder Woman Do?
Madonna is old, LMFAO is annoying, M.I.A is offensive, Cee-Lo looked like a Harry Potter extra, and no one even noticed Nikki Minaj. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is what everyone is talking about today – on Facebook, Twitter, and the popular news media. However, none of it really matters because deep down, it’s all [...]
I don’t like running. I don’t like running shoes. I don’t like running “gear.” I don’t like people who like to run. Seriously. I’d rather talk about my feelings than run – and if you know me, you know that’s really saying something. The main reason I don’t like to run is that I feel [...]
Tonight, I called my very good friend Sunshine to see if she was doing anything. She told me that she was going to be running some errands, but that I was welcome to tag along if I wanted. With both children having sleepovers at my house tonight, it seemed like a good idea to get [...]

We decided to order off the lunch menu to keep things simple. I asked for Chicken-Fried steak. “Did you want mashed potatoes [...]
Lately we’ve been having problems with our Homeowner’s Association. Oh, it started out reasonably enough. After we came through the winter, it was pretty obvious that the yard needed weeding and the wood fence needed to be replaced. It was a common topic between TK and I: “We need to do something or we’re going [...]
I love going to my nail salon because I find it is often an rare exercise in candor – and humility. The lady that takes care of me is named C, and she’s Korean and welcomes the opportunity to talk to me because I’ll help her practice her English. At least, that’s what she tells [...]

In other words, I’m going to take a few moments to give you my personal opinions on – [...]
