Okay, okay. I’ll admit it. I have been really struggling with the food thing lately. I haven’t been avoiding wheat and yeast entirely, and I haven’t been avoiding sugar much at all. When sugar calls, I answer the phone on the first ring, and I don’t even bother to pretend I was about to call  […]

Much to the chagrin of my eldest child, Monday night I went with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and another friend to see Cyndi Lauper and Cher at Phillips Arena. Amazing show. In my most basic moments of vanity and self-aggrandizing, this may be my Number One reason for wanting to be a famous novelist.  Why? Because  […]

Well, here we go: I promised you I’d update you about the sugar detox journey. To be honest, I’m sort of hoping that if I write things out and post them publicly, it will help me re-center myself as well. The osteopath is going to drag it all out of me tomorrow anyway. [If you  […]

Featured image for Marrying My Friend & Peak Experiences - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Ireland-2008-Slides-095-300x200.jpg
Last weekend, I got to add “marrying my best friend” to my life’s list of peak experiences. Okay, well, technically I married my best friend almost eight years ago. That was when I slipped something in Hubs’ drink and hauled him under the chuppah on a Labor Day weekend. (When he said “I do,” he  […]

A little conversation in the minivan (Vaneschwitz!) with my almost 5-year old on the drive to preschool this morning: Him: I have this button that gives me happy thoughts and this button that makes me go all crazy, and then a safety button that is only for emergencies. Which one should I press? Me: Umm…  […]

Featured image for Heavenly Day - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/sunnydaydrinks1-300x262.jpg
I wrote this blog on a notepad at lunchtime, sitting outside a cafe in downtown Roswell, Georgia, and enjoying one of the many perks of my career as a high-priced prostitute fiction writer. Today is a day like Heaven, at least in metro Atlanta. It’s a sunny mid-70’s, and the greenish-yellow pollen that has coated  […]

Featured image for Inside My Jazzercise Brain - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/jazzershoes-300x243.jpg
If you’ve been following any of my attempt-at-health-related blogs, you know that I love Jazzercise. Love, love, love it. A few of my friends, guy friends especially, have teased me about this, and I think maybe it’s the name. It harkens many of us back to an era when “Mousekercising” was a thing you did  […]
