The Ultimatum
The Ultimatum I met Lindsay when she was 28 years old and in crisis. We both worked for the same software consulting firm; we designed marketing databases for sales teams.

Recycling for a Higher Power
Recycling for a Higher Power Do as you’re told. Nobody says that to me anymore; I’m a grown-up now. Of course there are rules to follow in private and public life, and it helps that what I like to do isn’t illegal or immoral. It’s interesting that a...

Work at Home: Random Jobs
Work at Home: Random Jobs My husband’s partner, Allen, framed all of his business cards from the different jobs he’s had in his 30+ year career. It’s a great conversation starter and really shows his work history in a creative and visual way. If I did the same, I could wallpaper a small amphitheater and still have...

Drugstore Make-Up
Drugstore Make-Up It was my first time. The very first time I paid to check baggage on an airplane. I can usually get away with a carry-on. This weekend I was travelling to attend a wedding— that meant a fancy dress and lots of other stuff to help me look bee-u-tee-full for all of the festivities. As I was packing, I threw my...
