They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and if that’s the case I hope you’ve missed me enough to be happy that I’m back to blogging again. It’s been several weeks since we last chatted, and lots has happened since then: My son went back to the University of Miami after going to Cuba […]

Facebook Year in Review
If you’re on Facebook, I’m sure you’ve noticed that Facebook has generously summed up the last 12 months of your life into a collection of photos and captions. This creeped me out on a couple of levels. One, my Facebook year in review is a reminder that everything I post on Facebook goes on record […]
Pig on a Leash in SLC
Yesterday morning my 16-year-old son and I had to get up at the sliver of dawn to get him to the University of Utah by 7:45 a.m. so he could take the ACT test for college. Unfortunately for him he was sequestered most of the day in Warnock Hall (which always looks like “Warlock” Hall […]
Carpool Number 32 on Driveway 6, You’re Cleared for Takeoff
In honor of my youngest turning 16 in one week, I give you this funny carpool excerpt from my book, Confessions of a Band Geek Mom. Fare-thee-well, carpool. I will miss you like I miss a toothache. I’m a little worried about my family’s carbon footprint. I think it’s a men’s size 14 and growing. […]
Happy Life-Coming-at-Ya Day
Originally published on August 8, 2014, under the title “Koozie Worthy LIfe Events,” I’m reposting this because for some reason it wasn’t sent to all my followers. And of course, my followers follow because they don’t want to miss a single post! I apologize if you received this twice. (Please let me know if that […]
Koozie Worthy Life Events
I have reason to celebrate today. I just got the report that my mammogram came back normal. That might not be a big deal to you (especially if you’re a guy), but I’ve had some related health scares in the past, so it’s always a bit of a nail-biter when my annual “boob bash” rolls […]
Podcast Episode 1: Making Change
Well, I’ve threatened to do this for quite some time, and now it’s finally happened. As of today I’m starting a podcast on my blog. So for those of you who are too busy to read my blog (which I totally understand, by the way, since I’m too busy to read half the blogs to […]
Trophy Wife Wisdom
The other night I went to a summer soiree in Deer Valley with a friend. It was the kind of eclectic socio-economic shindig at which couples (ranging from ski bums to high tech CEO’s) get together and drink expensive wine that the hosts picked up while passing through the Rhone Valley on their way to […]
Birthday Beauty Secrets Revealed
Recently I had a birthday. Birthdays, like annual mammograms, inevitably fall into the “good-news/bad-news” category. The great thing about having a birthday is that it means I’m not dead. The not-so-great thing about having a birthday is that it means I’m another year older, which if you look on the bright side circles back around […]
Making Change
For someone who doesn’t make a living going on the road anymore, I sure have traveled a lot in the last 18 months. And with airlines cutting back, plane changes have become as common as bus stops. I’ve spent more time in airports lately waiting for connecting flights than I have at the gym. A […]
