Men holiday shop differently than women, it seems. What's your opinion?
My boyfriend Phil and I are celebrating our first holidays together. What's more fun than shopping for someone you love? The other day I was out on the road in Northeast Cobb...interviewing people for a news article and stopping by the local Starbucks to see familiar faces and work. I was chatting with fellow coffee lovers when my cell phone rang. The assigned piano rift ringtone told me it was Phil. "If you were shopping for a coat, say, hypothetically, what size would you buy?" Phil asked. I smiled. "Medium." "Okay, thanks. That's all I wanted." He quickly disconnected. I feel giddy for a second in knowing that I'll be receiving a coat for Christmas. My next thought, don’t men think of looking at size labels on a woman's garments before …
Yep, that’s the latest lie that I tell my kids. I’m full of them, especially this time of year. Lies that is. The grays are sprouting out too faster than I can pluck, too.
The whole Santa story with the elves and so on has become one huge massively creative web of lies. Not that I have any problem with it. I know it’s for the greater good of my child. The problem I have is how much detail do I give, how much should I exaggerate and how in the world do I keep track of all I have already told. Let’s not forget my children are in school now with other kids whose parents have been telling them lies, too. What if their lies are different than mine? Then what? I spin another lie I suppose. The biggest lie I have told is that if they don’t behave Santa won’t bring them any toys on Christmas. I threaten and I threaten and for a few minutes every day I get that panic stricken scream and pleading with tears for me not…

It starts Thanksgiving weekend; the Christmas tree is put up, the house is decorated and the greens are hung. My Shih Tzu Shelby, 10, realizes it's time for holiday travel. If she can travel with me, all is well. If not, things won't be jolly.
I've had Shelby since she was eight weeks old. I socialized her with other domestic pets. She loves cats and rabbits. Dogs, not so much. She's very selective about dog friends. That could be why Shelby detests boarding. I'd take her to tour the best-rated kennels. During the walk through, Shelby would give the scene a disinterested look-over before pulling us toward the exit as though her fur was on fire. If I boarded her at a kennel, she reportedly sat staring out the kennel run door-constantly. At 'dog recess' she was annoyed by the attention of other dogs. She sat staring out of the fence like a federal prisoner contemplating escape. She liked the staff, but would react jealously if other dogs came near the staff. She snapped at a …
