The dilemma

I don’t want to go to bed even though it’s midnight because I don’t want it to be tomorrow already.  Know what I mean? P.S. I have crumbs in my cleavage.  I guess I got a little too excited about the warm homemade bread tonight. By Hildie | Filed under… Read More

She’s just not that into you

It’s never too early

I know (but maybe you don’t) that my birthday is sort of far away (April 10th, the most magical day in the universe).  But it’s never too early to mention the thing I want the absolute most. Well, really what I want most is wood floors in my family room… Read More

It’s all about the estrogen

Do you have a sister? Do you have daughters?  Then you’d better get on over to Segullah where I’m posting today.  But you can still read it if you are an only child.  And have a bunch of sons.  Or no children at all.  And are a man. By Hildie… Read More
