Great at Gifting or Great at Getting?
Not sure how it is in your house, but for my wife and I …gift giving is a competition. Before and after all gift-giving events (Valentine’s Day, Anniversary, our birthdays, and especially Christmas) we pre-brag and post-brag about “winning Christmas” or “winning our Anniversary.”… Continue Reading “Great at Gifting or Great at Getting?”
“I Love Don Week” and “Stuff I Want” Update
My oh my, where does the time go!?!?! My birthday was 47 days ago and I haven’t thanked the many contributors and participants, nor have I updated my Stuff I Want Page. Here’s my Blog entry fixing that. First, the Stuff I Want Page has been… Continue Reading ““I Love Don Week” and “Stuff I Want” Update”
Father’s Day & I Love Don Week

Beauty Products and Me, 2022, Part 1
I’m vain. Always have been. And it’s not even something I wish I wasn’t. I like when my hair stylist looks shocked when I tell her my age and that I have three teenagers. I know, I know, she’s working for a tip, but… Continue Reading “Beauty Products and Me, 2022, Part 1”
The White Elephant Gift Exchange Game
Historians have determined the origins of the “White Elephant Gift Exchange Game” started around the end of the 80s. Hard to believe, before that, extended family gathered without any gift-giving and gift-getting agenda and co-workers weren’t forced to “buy something” for each other even… Continue Reading “The White Elephant Gift Exchange Game”
My Updated Christmas Wish-List
I told someone recently to immediately forget the past. I wisely said, “turn the page,” and, “who you were yesterday and whatever you did or didn’t do, really has no impact on tomorrow.” It ain’t easy, but it’s true. For example, my whole life… Continue Reading “My Updated Christmas Wish-List”
I Want Stuff, Part 5: Blue Light Blocking Glasses
It’s not so much “I want stuff” …but “I have stuff.” And my BLUblox blue (and green) light blocking glasses that I wear before bed might be the single best purchase I’ve made in a long, long time. Recall, I’m obsessed with quality sleep. I’ve… Continue Reading “I Want Stuff, Part 5: Blue Light Blocking Glasses”
