It’s been a crazy couple of weeks with my hands in a few too many pies. But it’s how I operate for some strange reason so I go with it.
I mean, really, why fix a wheel that’s not broken?
I tend to be fairly focused though, dealing with one pie at a time as […]

As promised, my fellow MS walkers and I have poured over your suggestions for a team name, looking for one that grabbed us just right. And while each of us had two or three individual favorites, one emerged as a consistent across all of our lists.
So, without further ado…
*Drum roll, please*
The winning name—MSKeteers—came from “Beth.” […]

If you’re wondering who the above chick is…it’s me. Minus the black gloves, evil medicine dropper, and dark sunglasses you’ve come to expect on Tuesdays here at the Good Girls Kill For Money Club. […]

Tick…Tock…Tick…Tock…
Shhhh. Do you hear that?
Tick…Tock…Tick…Tock…
Ahhhh, yes, it’s the official countdown to Valentine’s Day. The day that strikes fear in the hearts of unprepared men all over the country, sending them off in a mad dash to the nearest grocery store where they can hit the trifecta in one quick stop (flowers, candy, card).

Have you ever stopped to read the warning labels on some of the more common items found throughout your home?
You know, the high chairs that aren’t meant to be flotation devices, the hair dryers that aren’t for use while bathing, the hot coffee that’s, er, HOT…
At first glance they’re funny—in some cases laugh-out-loud funny. But […]

Park’s closed.
Moose out front shoulda told ya.
Translation: I’ll be back next week. In the meantime, if you know who said this and in what movie…leave it in the comments along with a line for the next person to guess. And so on, and so on. Have fun!
Hugs,

My birthday trip to New York City is now officially the stuff of memories–amazing memories that have me grinning ear-to-ear as I’m writing this blog. It was everything I wanted it to be and a million times more.
It started early Thursday morning…
My flight was on time, the shuttle into midtown was relatively uneventful, and I […]

I drive a 1992 Saturn SL1.
It’s a great car—transports me where I need to go, gets phenomenal highway mileage, wears its age extremely well, has a power moon roof (which I adore), old-fashioned crank windows, and a broken cassette player (a casualty, no doubt, of the short-lived Richard Marx stage I went through about […]

I’ve never been asked to give a toast before so bear with me for a few meandering moments paragraphs as I try to articulate my thoughts while simultaneously raising a glass to all of our GGKFMC readers…
If you were engaged in a game of word association, what would you say if the prompt you were […]
