Discussions by Michele, my Belle

I am at work, clearing off my desk and filing things away as I will be taking the day off tomorrow and Friday in preparation for the wedding on Saturday. Everything has been finalized, cake, flowers,...

How much "paperwork" do you keep? Receipts, bank statements, utility bills, credit card statements. etc. I am trying to un-clutter my desk, my house, my life in general. Just how much stuff do I have...

My sweet fur babygirl kept waking me every 2 hours to go outside. Arggg! Not a very restful sleep, and too tired this morning to go for our morning walk. So now I'm tired and feeling guilty for not...

Last month DH made dinner using tofu. Dinner was delish. But now I have 1/2 package of tofu in my fridge. It has been in a sealed plastic container, in the liquid "tofu juice", since then. But I...

Michele is getting married in 9 days!

After several "dress rehearsals" with my dress, it is quite evident that I desperately need a body shaper - the industrial strength suit of armor variety. I want to order one from Spanx, but was...

Ladies DH and I are renewing our vows on December 15 in a small ceremony. I am getting bouquets for myself & MOH, bouts for DH and BM. I want to recognize our children (son - 16, daughters - 16, 19 &...

Ok, I have kept this to myself since Sunday because I didn't want to freak out unnecessarily. I wanted to handle this situation with grace and diplomacy. Backstory: My 19yo daughter is at college, and...

Yummmm, a great way to start this busy Saturday.

I feel like I am on auto-pilot. I still have to chose music for the ceremony (small ceremony in church - just need to coordinate with Music Minister) and figure out some logistical things. Oh, and...

Once again, I just visited the Ladies' Room here at work and step into my favorite stall (1st one on the right - thankyouverymuch) and find a completely naked little brown cardboard toilet paper roll....

Dear Abby: A friend's daughter was married several years ago. I attended the shower and her wedding, and gave gifts for both. Two months after the wedding, I received a thank-you note in which a form...
