Learning to Drive

The way it looks on reality shows like Father Knows Best or Leave it to Beaver, is that the kid approaches the parent about three years too early, to start the Process of getting their driver’s permit. After jumping through all the requisite hoops Mom and Dad put you through, including the awkward “lessons” theyContinue reading “Learning to Drive”

Dialing it In

An expression that refers to effort, and how much a person gives of themselves. Instead of fighting and battling against something, isn’t it easier to just “dial it in” with minimal or no effort? I can’t do that. Never could. My problem many times, is giving TOO MUCH and OVERREACHING. Sounds weird, but that’s howContinue reading “Dialing it In”

Attitude

Just left my Doctor’s office. Great news. Because my A1C bloodwork came back at 6.6. It is the lowest A1C I have ever recorded. To tell the truth (since I lied all those years before), I was surprised it was that low. I mean, the test measures your average blood sugar levels over a periodContinue reading “Attitude”

I forgot this

I try to include some of my original music In my Monday blog posts. In this week’s entry Girl Crazy, I forgot to do that, so, in a major effort to get better at keeping my promises, here is a second post for today. I am including my song It’s High Time I Left. IContinue reading “I forgot this”

Girl Crazy

So I’m in Las Vegas at the beginning of the decadent decade known as the 80’s. For some reason, I had it in my head that my mission as a fat little Bumblebee of Love, was to pollenate as many “flowers” in the valley as possible. And although I was not blessed with children, itContinue reading “Girl Crazy”

Pain

I have a very high tolerance for pain, as evidenced by the still-full bottles of Oxycodone in my cabinet. I have had a total of 20 surgeries, 6 of which were considered “major.” I do not like pain pills, I don’t like ANY pills. I am sure this stems from my inherent distrust of BigContinue reading “Pain”

Customer Service

Who doesn’t want good customer service? Probably the same idiots that don’t practice good customer service in their own jobs. Good customer service is NOT a request; it is a condition of employment. That from a pep talk to one of the many restaurant staffs I hired and trained. This does not solely pertain toContinue reading “Customer Service”

Flight Risk

So, it’s 1970-something and I’m visiting my family for the milestone 50th wedding anniversary of our beloved grandparents. Everyone was there, I mean everyone in our family from all corners. The perfect stage. And what do I do? I had been partying with my cousins for hours. About 11:30pm, I leave the party to goContinue reading “Flight Risk”

Decisions, Decisions

Mostly bad ones. Like when I left college and I find myself in the expansive (by 1978 standards) Stardust Sports Book. I am drunk (big surprise there) and making an ass out of myself while flirting with this (50k boob job) cocktail waitress. If her eyes rolled any further back in her head from myContinue reading “Decisions, Decisions”
