January 7th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Jacquie's Posts

Yesterday Tracy opened up a discussion on the topic of  girlfriend dumping that had a lot of women wanting to share their own stories of betrayal, loss and sadness when a BFF relationship ends.   That’s the way we roll; girlfriend relationships are grounded by mutual disclosure and we bond over shared experiences.

I was enjoying coffee with a couple of girlfriends, sharing stories, when one of them admitted to being really touchy.  Not sensitive touchy but touchy feely.  I did actually noticed that she was very touchy a few times, but it felt nice to me, in a platonic kind of way.  It didn’t make me feel [...]

On Monday I let it all hang out when I exposed my undying love and devotion for a certain 70’s pop idol.   At great risk of totally losing any legitimacy as a ….well, a grown up, I’m going to have to lay another one on you all here again; I’m a Twi-Mom and I’ve been [...]

October 1st, 2009 · 5 Comments · Charities/Cause, Jacquie's Posts

I had so much I wanted to get off my chest today, but part of the personal growth I’ve been experiencing through Tara Cronica is learning when to hold back and rethink my position.  Sometimes, no matter how right I think I am, it’s better to hold your tongue, or your fingers in this case.

Expectations Revisited

April 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

Another Thursday morning, another bout of procrastinationitis on my part.  I have no ‘obligations or expectations’ to take care of today, except the ones that are self-inflicted.  I read Tracy’s post yesterday with a curious mix of ‘Yay, you go girl!‘ and ‘Right on, sista! topped off with a healthy dollop of  ‘If nobody ever [...]

Where Did You Meet Your Girl Friends?

April 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Jacquie's Posts, Team Posts, Tracy's Posts

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.  I [...]

Tripping to Seattle!

April 9th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tripping

As a very little girl, 5 or 6 maybe, I remember being mesmerized by TV ads for the Bon Marche (sounded so exotic) and a magical place built somewhere off the I-5 called South Center Mall. I guess that was the beginning of my fascination with the city of Seattle. Spending a few days across [...]

It’s Only Words…

March 26th, 2009 · 9 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Taboo

…And words are all I have, to take your heart away.
I was planning on writing about the ’special’ Wednesday night episode of Survivor Tocantins I just watched. You know, the recapping of the first half of the season in a different time slot that the producers hope will snag a glut of stragglers midway [...]
