Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles: February 2014
http://talesfromthesandwichchronicles.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles. Tuesday, February 4, 2014. Pressing the Reset Button. I hate New Year's resolutions. I quit making them a number of years ago. It seemed so contrived to accept an arbitrary date as the reason to make changes in my life, today. New Year's is to exercise equipment, gym memberships and weight-loss shakes as Valentine's Day is to chocolate, flowers and lingerie. Is their proximity in time coincidental? I am usually struck by the Personal Annual Review Muse near my birthday...

Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles: September 2014
http://talesfromthesandwichchronicles.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles. Thursday, September 18, 2014. I really enjoy writing. But I have been struggling with it. Struggling with what to do. With my writing. I'm goal-ish that way. I like to play with words and ideas. I want to make people laugh and make them pause for a second and think about life from a different perspective. Writing just for the pleasure of playing with words or exploring my own philosophies seems rather self-indulgent. Is it a holdover from my Type-A past? Finally, I jus...

Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles: Necessary Awkwardness
http://talesfromthesandwichchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/02/necessary-awkwardness.html
Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. For every stage my daughters go through, every life event they experience, I have a memory of myself at that very age and stage. I try very hard to meet them where they. Are, acknowledging their unique personalities, but I also try to recall where I was at that point and what might have helped me, in case they can't articulate what they need. We have talked about menses openly and regularly (ha! I try to teach them to pay attention to their ...

Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles: April 2014
http://talesfromthesandwichchronicles.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. One of the first cases I handled on my own as a new lawyer was a lawsuit between adjacent property owners. The word "neighbor" could not be used to describe their situation. They were impressed with my knowledge. I was flabbergasted that I actually had a live. Hi I'm Meg Pauken. I represent Mr. and Mrs. X.". He looked me up and down with raised eyebrows and exaggerated movements as if I were a sideshow freak. This took effort on his part si...

Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles. Friday, October 25, 2013. Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories. Of the Wild Woman Archetype. Hombre and I will have been married Twenty-Two (22) years on November 2. (Yes, I was a child bride.) We have known each other for thirty (30) years. He is the president of my fan club, and I am the president of his. I cannot imagine a life without him in it. But rather the idea. Of me that he had created. He was uncomfortable with my loquacious, outgoing self, b...

Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles: March 2015
http://talesfromthesandwichchronicles.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles. Monday, March 9, 2015. It's There, Just Waiting. I arrived home this afternoon to see the "new message" light blinking. It was the pharmacy; a prescription was ready for pick up. And then I noticed we had 8 old messages. How old, I wondered? The first was from Purple Hearts; a pick up was scheduled on our street for next Friday. The machine announced that the message was recorded on Monday. But which Monday? Today is Monday. Hmm. A mystery. Delete. She woke up this mor...

Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles: December 2013
http://talesfromthesandwichchronicles.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tales from the Sandwich Chronicles. Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Questing by Quiz for the Quintessential Moi. When I was a teen, I lived and died by the advice rendered in Seventeen. Magazine. Far more than a mere fashion mag or teen idol rag, Seventeen. Dispensed advice regarding skincare ("de-fuzzing"), friendships, school, college AND boys. Its weightiest and most oft-repeated maxim:. When I was a little bit of everything? Had a solution to my identity angst: quizzes. I took them all. Now I know that ...
