Changing It Up At The Alter

Posted on November 16, 2016June 1, 2017 By Sister Rain

Any time I attend a wedding it transports me back to the day I got married. The flowers, the dress, everyone who loved us all in one place, our moms lighting two candles that we would unite into one, the way one rivulet of sweat ran down my husband’s face…

An Infectious Post

Posted on November 15, 2016November 16, 2016 By Sister Rain

I’ve seen this on websites like TMZ: Life can be gross. The above on a sandwich board for those particularly oozy times is a must-have. I may or may not pusably be referring to my life right now. But just in case, wash your hands when you’re done reading this post.

I remember girlfriends 25 years ago who were terrified that they might be pregnant. I don’t remember at-home pregnancy tests being an option but I don’t recall if that was because they didn’t exist, did exist but were too expensive or our parents might find it in our room or…

No Buublegum And A Paperclip, Just Old Age And A Colon

Posted on November 5, 2016June 1, 2017 By Sister Rain

A padded envelope arrived for me in the mail this week. Some might argue it should have been a padded van, so sorry to disappoint. I was not expecting anything and I certainly could not have anticipated its contents: AN AT-HOME FECAL IMMUNOCHEMICAL TEST Turns out they call it “FIT”…

Pajama Poetry

Posted on November 3, 2016November 4, 2016 By Sister Rain
