It's me, Cindy

A story of how a bathtub Christmas tree, a dead bird and a bad attitude made for a memorable family holiday.

Tourist tips, Celestial Seasonings snares me ... and I ate WHAT?

Preparing for a long-awaited visit to family by making lists and fancy French cookies. And which Ghostbusters movie is your favorite? The first, right?

How to be Happy(er). Plus, Pet Rocks and other truly stupid gifts ideas.

In the race against time, we're rarely the winners. But I found how to slow it down a little. Plus, how taking all those photos is cheating your memory. Fascinating, yes?

Oprah's pick gives me a great idea. And there's something delicious in it for you. Plus, odd catalog choices, where'd the turkeys go and are you different than you were?

Inspired by turning back the clocks; memories of radio jobs, weird (and wonderful) alarm clocks and odd ideas to get people to like you (which does NOT include waking them up). And if you're looking for a great idea for family night, I think I've got it!

My favorite holiday, a trip to the DMV, how to burn off a Big Mac and what Mad Magazine got right... among other things. Oh, and why your brain flips out when you decide to change a bad habit. Fascinating. And more. How I do go on...

Moving into the cold months, trying to be better at decisions and what that chin-up bar made me do.

I have HOW MANY cans of mushroom soup? I blame the shopping cart.
