The Girlfriend Factor: What A Crock!

http://thegirlfriendfactor.blogspot.com/2009/06/what-crock.html

Thursday, June 4, 2009. Author's Note: As with all my blog postings, the story you're about to read is true. Truly. You can't make this stuff up! And so, it was in that spirit that I hatched what I believed to be one of the most brilliant multi-tasking maneuvers ever attempted by any mom, anywhere! Would pay the rent for an apartment all his own, he moved - no, make that we. Moved a U-Haul full of furniture up I-40 - into his freshly-painted, newly-carpeted one-bedroom pad in West Knoxville. 24 halves in...

The Girlfriend Factor: A Nana By Any Other Name (or Mr. Baby Goes Bananas)

http://thegirlfriendfactor.blogspot.com/2012/01/nana-by-any-other-name-or-mr-baby-goes.html

Monday, January 30, 2012. A Nana By Any Other Name (or Mr. Baby Goes Bananas). How does something as innocuous as bananas weave their way into a grandmother’s identity crisis? After test-driving several monikers, I settled on “Nana.” Though it may not have quite filled the bill as “too cool for school,” still, I reasoned, it didn’t make me sound - or feel - too ancient. My own very adored grandmothers - Bubba and Nannie - would have approved, I decided. Coming from the direction of the living room. N...

The Girlfriend Factor: Puttin' On The Spanxx!

http://thegirlfriendfactor.blogspot.com/2009/05/puttin-on-spanxx.html

Sunday, May 31, 2009. Puttin' On The Spanxx! Before I even begin, let me qualify this account by admitting my memories of it are a bit hazy given the amount of time the blood supply to my brain was cut off, but I digress. As I mentioned in a previous post, I managed to gain 70 pounds in a year,. I was totally thrilled with my choice of the burgundy, off-the-shoulder number that also allowed me the ultimate comfort of wearing regular underwear. Why, count on Oprah - and Chico's - of course! Stuff - not to...

The Girlfriend Factor: What's It All About?

http://thegirlfriendfactor.blogspot.com/2009/05/whats-it-all-about.html

Friday, May 29, 2009. What's It All About? So, this is supposed to be Mel's Musings. And, as a professional writer and someone who has never been accused of being quiet or introverted, blogging should be right up my alley. So why, then, have I avoided this forum like the plague? On any given day, my brain is like an RSS newsfeed of chapter titles and topics for that book I'm finally going to write. What's up with that? A topic. What's this Girlfriend Factor thing all about? Did I mention that was 2003?

The Girlfriend Factor: The "Shoe" Must Go On! (Or SJP I'll Never Be!)

http://thegirlfriendfactor.blogspot.com/2012/01/shoe-must-go-on-or-sjp-ill-never-be.html

Thursday, January 26, 2012. The "Shoe" Must Go On! Or SJP I'll Never Be! Rumor has it that yet a third installment of the popular Sex and The City movie series is in the works. If that's true, no doubt the spotlight will shine on Sarah Jessica Parker's (hereinafter known as SJP) extensive wardrobe of Mahnolos, Weitzmans and Choos.which reminds me of an incident when Mother Nature cruelly reminded me that I ain't 35 anymore! Anybody familiar with The French Quarter knows the sidewalks in this vintage sect...

The Girlfriend Factor: Hughey Hill Unplugged (Or, This Freezer Really WAS Frost-Free!)

http://thegirlfriendfactor.blogspot.com/2012/03/hughey-hill-unplugged-or-this-freezer.html

Friday, March 2, 2012. Hughey Hill Unplugged (Or, This Freezer Really WAS Frost-Free! But “safety first! So it was in that mode that I tore though the house, disconnecting every plug in sight as we prepared to leave for two weeks in Alaska. Satisfied I’d done everything in my power to make sure the house would still be there upon our return, I rolled my luggage to the car and left, absolutely, positively, beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt certain the iron was turned off (and unplugged!

The Girlfriend Factor: A Supa-Beauxl For The Ages! (& Definitely NOT The Age-d!)

http://thegirlfriendfactor.blogspot.com/2012/02/supa-beauxl-for-ages-definitely-not-age.html

Sunday, February 5, 2012. A Supa-Beauxl For The Ages! Definitely NOT The Age-d! So here I sit on Super Bowl Sunday, debating between buffalo or honey barbeque sauce for the wings that still sleep in the freezer and really not giving a rat's pa-tootey about the game, but looking forward to the commercials. It's actually taken that long for me to recover from the LAST time I did the Super Bowl in New Orleans - twenty-two years ago, to be exact! The exhilaration of that weekend adventure took a long, long t...
