The Supreme Court just decided that corporations are people, too; that every corporation is entitled to the same First Amendment rights as any American citizen. In this case, it was about freedom of speech. Now, I think we all agree that companies can say whatever they want (with the caveat that anything in their advertising has to be true. . . or no one else can prove it isn’t).

It’s that time of the year, when we start hearing about all the award winners: the Golden Globes, the Grammys, the Oscars, the Peoples’ Choice (as if we care). I am starting a new tradition: awards for the best and worst bosses: the Tommys and the Libbys, named after my worst and best bosses.
Since this is the first year of a sure-to-be-trendsetting event, I am going to give out lifetime “achievement” awards in several categories. Of course, some names will be changed, to protect the guilty (and my future career), though I’m certain my former co-workers will know exactly who I am talking about. Read the rest of this entry »

There are three types of women: Drama Queens (think Glen Close in Fatal Attraction), Blinders (What do you mean, he’s married???) and Normals. Most of us probably think we’re Normals, but I’d venture to guess that at least a few of us are Drama Queens and probably most are Blinders.
How do you know which one you are? It’s quite simple. Read the rest of this entry »

Okay. I am officially asking everyone I know to STOP talking to me about Tiger Woods and his extramarital fornicating. Enough, already. Why do we have to listen to this story, over and over? How many women have come forward? How hard his wife actually hit him? Was his wife really a cocktail waitress when they met? Don’t we have our own sad, lurid stories? After all, haven’t we all been bamboozled by a man at least once in our lives? Read the rest of this entry »

Just began my first vacation ever with my “baby” sister Patrice. I hadn’t realized we’d never done this before and so I have decided this will be the subject of my posts this week. Because Patrice and I, though on good terms, have never been especially close (There are 4 sisters in my family with interesting cross relationships, but I’ll
save that for later).
We’ve already discovered some likenesses we never before realized we have: neither if us like peppermint, we both absolutely LOVE salt and vinegar potato chips (to the point of self-inflicting intense mouth pain), and we each could easily eat a bag of Jax in a single sitting.
So, let’s see what happens with our relationship over the next week – if we really bond…or want to kill each other!
