Why I Love Lilacs
It’s springtime and flowers are blooming everywhere, including my yard. And every year this amazes me. Why so?
Laughter is the Best Medicine
Life is full of challenges for each of us. And each new challenge is supposed to make a person stronger. But when you’re going through it yourself, it’s hard to believe that.
Marlene’s Movie Madness : Aloha [VIDEO]
Aloha! Well, I just saw the brand new movie 'Aloha' starring Bradley Cooper. I tried to put aside all the negative reviews I had read about it. After all, it looked like a cute flick, and did I mention that Bradley Cooper's in it?? LOL.
Get Your Beach Tag Now!
Did you get your beach tag yet?? If you didn't and you need one for your beach, you'd better get on it!!
Stop and Smell the Roses
It’s a fact that time seems to go faster the older we get. Maybe it’s because most people I know lead really busy lives. And when you’re busy time flies, right? When you’ve got nothing to do, an hour seems like forever. At least that’s what they tell me.
Coffee Talk
I love breakfast. I mean really love breakfast. So you would think I’d make it a point to eat breakfast every day, yet I don’t. It’s more of an afterthought actually. Sometimes I eat breakfast, sometimes I don’t. But I must have my cup (or two or three cups) of java each and every day.

Let’s Hear It for the Beach
When asked to name my favorite place, I don’t even have to think about it. Ever since I was a little girl, the beach was my favorite spot in the world. And even though I didn’t grow up anywhere near the beach, I always felt like a beach girl at heart.
Can You Ever Really Be Incognito?
When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time deciding what to wear every day. I would painstakingly pick out the perfect outfit the night before. Looking back now, it’s amazing I had any time to play! And looking back at old pics, it’s amazing I ended up putting together so many goofy outfits. What was I thinking?? In the end, does it really make a big difference how much time you spend choosing
Who Wants to go Bathing Suit Shopping? Anyone??
I once read about a scientific study regarding bathing suit shopping. It concluded that bathing suit shopping can be stressful. It took a team of professionals to figure this out? I could have told you that, and so could every other woman on the planet.
Planning Ahead…Or Not
Did you ever make plans, and then they fell through? Or you were really looking forward to something you planned, and afterwards you realized they weren't all that?
What Dreams Really Mean
Some people remember every detail of their dreams. I am not one of those people. It seems like I dream pretty much every night, but then I wake up and remember very little. I do remember one thing though. I have almost the same dream all the time.
