Laugh with me and be free, that is what life should be.

June 26, 2010 Ms. CLeave a comment

Someone told me this week that my sense of humor, as it is evidenced both in my writing and in-person, has tenets of Carol Burnett, Erma Bombeck and the Divine Miss M (which is Bette Midler for those of you too young to know such monikers...also note Bruce Springsteen is The Boss).  Nice compliment I [...]

Shhhh…it’s a secret!

Setting the bar…

June 21, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments

Let’s talk about sex baby…

June 20, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments
