August: Osage County: A Film Review

August: Osage County began life as a Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winning play written by Tulsa’s own Tracy Letts.  Letts also wrote the screenplay, so I had no worries about the continuity between the play and the movie.  The cast is absolutely stellar, and there was no doubt these actors would pull the best from the script.

Own Monday!

I have a great friend. Each and every morning, she sends me a series of text messages with pictures of very attractive men. Trust me, this is not a bad way to start the day….oops, I got distracted. Monday’s can be tough, and for all you Tom Hiddleston fans out there, I thought this might […]

“You’re so weird.” For years, this was my niece and nephew’s favorite descriptive phrase for me. I always responded with something like “better than boring.” My mother’s much more eloquent.

The Healing Power of Music

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” ― Bob Marley     Music is, without a doubt, a balm for my soul.  It sweeps me up and can impact my mood for the entire day.  There are songs or artists that I turn to when I need to get my […]

Concentrate, Concentrate…

Hugh Jackman and Elmo…wait, what was I supposed to be doing?  When I saw this one, I literally laughed out loud.  I’m so easily distracted, and I was supposed to be doing something else…not watching random Sesame Street videos on YouTube, for sure.  The “concentrate” video mostly put me back on task.  At work, we’re […]
