Bonnie’s Take~ Envy.  Listed as one of the seven deadly sins along with pride, greed, lust, gluttony, anger and sloth.  Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty and guilty!  (Not all at the same time but yes I’ve felt each of those during the course of my life.  Sloth is one of my favourites and I [...]

The First Thing That Comes to Mind Is…

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word – regret? Bonnie‘s take~ When I think of the word “regret” it leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling and I don’t like it.  There are lots of things that I could say I’ve regretted in my life;  guys I spent [...]

Ever had an Obsession? Do Tell!

Jacquie’s take~ When I think of the word ‘obsession’ I think of an action or thought or feeling that is all-consuming and thereby counterproductive.  So, yeah, of course I’ve been obsessed a few times in my life! The biggest obsessions I’ve had have revolved around my kids.  I’m a bit of a collector by nature [...]

Do you ever lie about your age?

Bonnie’s take~ Who me?…lie? No way.  I look really really good for 56 years old! That’s right, if I was going to lie about my age I’d definitely lie up.  I recently read about a woman doing just that and I thought “Now that’s the way to do it!”.  People will admire how well you’ve [...]

Where Did You Meet Your Girl Friends?

Jacquie’s take~ Growing up I never had much difficulty finding friends.  Even as a small child I think I had the ‘disease to please’ and so I know I kinda went along with any game plan that was put on the table.  I was really easy going and just didn’t care to rock the boat.  [...]

Girlfriends Youthful Secrets

Tracy’s take~ As I age it gets harder and harder to look young and fresh.  Some days it’s hard to look in the 10X mirror, but I wouldn’t live without it or all hell would break  loose!  I want to age gracefully!  I have been told my entire life I have never looked my age  [...]

If I could magically re-invent myself as anything I’d…

HAPPY EASTER EGG HUNTING !! Bonnie’s take~ For some reason this stage in many peoples lives (mid forties) seems to be ripe for re-invention.  Maybe it’s because we realize “Whoa, we’re half way there/done.”  There are many other factors that could spark this too, like divorce, illness, spiritual awakenings, the economy etc., and really these [...]

Which Reality Show Would You Do?

Jacquie’s Take~ I’m so glad it’s my turn to start the team post topic this week!  I don’t think my compadres would ever choose this subject so I’ve got them on the hot seat and they’re gonna have to do some serious head scratching since I’m the ‘reality junkie’! Without a doubt, the show I [...]

Should you tell your girlfriend she’s…?

Bonnie’s Take… You’re in your early twenties and your best girlfriend and you have just met a couple of gorgeous guys.  It is obvious that you both want to make a great impression.  One of you has a leftover black bean from an earlier stir fry stuck to her front tooth.  Well, if you are [...]

Valentine’s Day!
