When nature calls...
I almost told my daughter to pee in the swimming pool last week. Seriously, I was this close...

Putting the "human" in "human resources"
Have you ever stopped to consider the skill inventory of human resource (HR) professionals?

Georgia on my mind
The headline about a state of emergency in Georgia was provocative, to say the least.

When life imitates Hollywood ... in a bad way
I'm staring in a dramedy about a woman's week-long series of screwy mishaps and strange luck.

The (In)Action Plan
Some people are cool, calm and collected under pressure. I'm not one of them.

"Self-Google" returns serious search results
I was indulging in a bit of vanity tonight. Yes, I admit it. I like to Google myself from time to time (that's not indecent yet, is it?) just to see if there are any new and/or curious associations with my name. What came back was very serious.

I'm going back to high school
I’m going back to high school. Well, not the actual building; those hallowed halls are halfway around the world. Rather, I’m in charge of our class reunion. The 20th. Right. Suddenly, that membership to Curves doesn’t seem like such an unmanageable expense.

A pseudo-celebration, of sorts
I’m over the moon about the muckety mucks at Disney finally creating a Black princess! Sure, it may seem silly for a grown woman to spontaneously spin cartwheels in high heels over a cartoon character. But this is huge!

Is it asking too much for you to be the person of my dreams?
“Is it asking too much for you to be the person of my dreams?” When I asked her if she had posed this question to her boyfriend of four years with a straight face, she appeared to be a bit put off.

Politics: A painful exercise in idiocy
I do not understand politics. I had to admit that recently to a room full of government watchdog blogger types. I suppose there was a purple horn sprouting from my forehead, too.

Slow drip
I’ve been drinking coffee since grad school, but didn’t become a coffee drinker until six years ago. Difference? Drinking is the customary cup with anytime eggs or chugging a carafe to survive an all-nighter (or recover from one). Drinker is welcoming the magical black oil into the complete rhythm your life, and even establishing standards.

Through the ages
On my quest for learning new things, I find that I produce as many questions as answers. For instance, to find out what our "age" is called, I had to poke through my bookcase and, ultimately, online. Here were the answers...

Just a corner left...
This is going to sound silly, but I'm worried that I've reached the end of everything I know. Everything. I fear that all of the nuggets of trivia I've collected over the years are really ... just nuggets of trivia.

Art imitates life
I love stand up comedy. I don't get to catch the live shows as often as I'd like, so thank the yuk-yuk gods for cable.

Little lies
I told a lie to my daughter. An elaborate one … with props and everything! Hey, I don’t even feel bad.

Sweet treats
My husband and I are sweet again. Not that new, sticky, fresh-out-the-can love. (We’ve been at this for far too long; we’ll be celebrating our 10th anniversary later this year.) And neither is it that sluggish, syrupy artificial glaze that typically trails behind bitter apologies or slathers over indiscretions.

Fair-weather Fem?
To all of my woman-hear-me-roar sisters, don’t disown me because I endorsed a small dorm room fantasy with adorable and chiseled 20-somethings. I am as committed as ever to uplifting and pushing forward the Agenda of Women. I’ve just decided to simultaneously keep shaking what my mama gave me.
