Fergie just blogged.
n /q AQ;./3. (Ok, she walked across my keyboard.)
This always confuses me.
Even though you have an email signature in your work email that displays your name and contact information, you should still sign your name to the email.For example: Dear whoever,I will give you the memo tomorrow. Regards,Sandy —Sandy Adams1234 CompanyKansas…
Do you use a toner?
I’m increasingly interested in skin care these days. Tell me, do you use a toner? I do. I have dry skin and use Mary Kay’s hydrating toner. When I use it regularly, it cleans off the excess bare minerals and…
Hey kids…
it’s “Fergie’s Fancy Dress Friday!”
(The dress is from my Mom.And, the Ferg happens to love it.)
Got it. YESSSSSSSSS
Looks like The Ferg is doing to be riding in style.And, it appears she has a new leash, too.(That C. will never use.)—C. has already declared, “I will never use that bag.”
It did NOT disappoint.
YAY for The Office’s 1-hour episode.Fantastic. Michael cracks me up. I laughed hysterically that he hit Meridith with his car.Were you not SO happy that Jim and Pam are “together”?Like Dwight froze Angela’s cat in the freezer. 🙂 Your favorite…
Product Review: Venus Breeze
I ponied up and bought the Venus Breeze shaver. (Ok, C. brought it back for me last time he was in Ohio. However, we share a checking account so what’s the diff?) Nonetheless, here are my thoughts: It’s a smoother…
Dear Smokers.
Stop smoking. You have families who love you. That’s it.
Conspiracy Theory: The “Love” Boat
“The Love boat… …soon will be making another round…” I am going to assert something here.Perhaps the “Love” Boat was some sort of water-based pimping operation.(Take a moment. Let it sink in.)People always hooked up while wandering the seas on…
Let’s here it for The Google
Can you believe Google is 9 years old? My goodness. It seems like just yesterday that Al Gore invented the internet.
![When I was a kid, my Mom would sometimes go to the grocery store at night while my baby sister and I were "supposed" to be sleeping. Baby sister slept, I stood by the window and watched for her headlights to turn back into the driveway, my stomach a gnarled mess while I waited.
The entire time she was gone I would create ill-fated stories in my mind that would ultimately leave her injured, kidnapped, or left for dead... I think these stories got worse after my Dad died. "What if I lose my one parent?"
I would stand there and worry.
And she always came back.
In one piece.
Over time, after therapy when I was younger, I realized that worrying doesn't shape anything... worrying doesn't CHANGE the outcome... but, it's real.
Telling someone not to worry is about as effective as telling someone not to cry when they're in the midst of full-sobbing or it's like asking someone WHERE they lost the thing that they lost.
"I can't find my keys."
"Where did you lose them."
[silence]
"Um, if I knew where I lost them, then..."

This time that we're living through right now is BIG and heavy and for the love of ALL THINGS HOLY it keeps on going.
I remember watching The Sound of Music when I was a kid and wondering when in the WORLD it would end. We're STUCK in the Sound of Music.
Schools opened, then closed.
Masks on, then off.
Life started, and stopped.
We've missed get-togethers and holidays.
Weddings and births.
We are as disconnected as ever.
Our worrying and concern and fear and anxiety is there... and it's real.
I see you.
I know this time is hard.
I'm not going to tell you to stop feeling the feelings, I just want you to know that I'm feeling them, too. (And therapy is helping.)
Get yourself a therapist.
Talk about all of this.
As I told one of my girls this week, “It’s ok not to be strong all the time.”
With love,
