black dynamite Things were a lot more fun when steady pay was involved. Just ask me and my husband as we slump down on the sofa each night looking for an escape. That's until we discovered Black Dynamite. Even in the '70s, he had a car phone. That's right, a brown Princess Phone. In his …
Body image, shoddy image
http://www.koinlocal6.com/content/mediacenter/default.aspx?videoId=15598@koin.dayport.com&navCatId=426 Okay, I did it. I pulled on a new Popina tankini, sucked in a huge breath and stepped on stage in front of a camera on KOIN's "Keep It Local" today. The other models were young and gorgeous with absolutely flat abs.

Why I’ll miss the Olympics
I like watching men in tight pants as much as the next middle-aged woman. But that's not why I'll miss the Olympics. I'll miss the Proctor and Gamble spots honoring moms. Part of me was all Well, it's about time as I cried in my M&M bag. If you need your fix of soft and …
Back Fence rocks!
First off, I am not hipster enough to even get let in The Woods. Yeah, it's used to be an old funeral home. Now, it's uber cool with its collection of sofas, birdcages and vintage radios. The people who worked there were so nice though. I was like, What? I'm middle aged and you're talking …
