I Haven’t Forgotten about Taylor!

I watched Miss Americana a second time. During a bleak moment, I sought the light. Change is hard for me. So as my own boss, I gave myself a pep talk then looked to my role models for inspiration–Mom, Sam, Taylor Swift, pretty much anyone who tackles re-invention (not Madonna, who is late to her concerts which is rude). I’m not re-inventing so much as … Continue reading I Haven’t Forgotten about Taylor!

Happy Fourteenth First-Date-iversary to my Beloved Sam!

Picture it: December 17, 2009 at JFK. It’s 11pm and I’m waiting to see the guy with whom I’d been feverishly corresponding for three months.

Her new Eras Tour Movie is available to stream. There’s a Republican presidential candidate who’s also available to stream. LOL. It’s a day … Continue reading Happy Swiftmas Birthday?

I wonder what lyrics my nutritionist had found meaningful for a tattoo. Given Swift’s graphomania, there is an endless supply of quotable gems. Should I get … Continue reading Taylor Tattoos and Secret Weddings

The Plane

This has nothing to do with Fantasy Island or Hervé Villechaize. Remember him? If you don’t, how cute. *takes detour to see if original Fantasy Island is available streaming* Two hours later… Yesterday’s anxiety began when She Looks So Good was trending on Twitter. That could only mean…A giant knot of dread flared in my gut, like the time I left a very romantic moment … Continue reading The Plane

Some of Us Are Just Born Romantics

by Stacy Boyd Wanting heroes and heroines to get together is part of my DNA. At least it seems that way. For as long as I can remember, I’ve looked for romances everywhere. The Evidence: –When I first watched Peter Pan, I was sure he and Wendy were meant for each other. Tinkerbell was just getting in the way. –During elementary school, my bus dropped … Continue reading Some of Us Are Just Born Romantics
