That’s What He Said

November 28, 2014 by Kim Dalferes

Psst! Hey, it’s me, the Hubs. Kimba is off snoozing away in a turkey-induced tryptophan coma. She left her blog dashboard open! I’m grabbing what may be my one and only chance to set the record straight regarding a few things. Image provided courtesy of Pixabay - http://pixabay.com/en/sleeping-reading-woman-reader-book-32750/ Kimba is a great storyteller as well as a fabulous wife, mother, and friend. But over the years she's gotten a few things wrong during her tall tale telling. Examples … [Read more...]

7th Sign of the Apocalypse

“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together... mass hysteria!” Movie, please? That’s right, the great Bill Murray aka Dr. Peter Venkman, in that cinematic masterpiece: Ghostbusters.Why yes, Dr. Venkman, it could have been the end of the world, but a year later we’re still here, and we’ve morphed into dogs and cats peacefully cohabitating. Who knew? I am not a cat person – my friends and family know this. I have been a solid member of “Team Canine” all of my life. Yet, it’s been … [Read more...]

Whoa…. I Just Said What?!

December 28, 2012 by Kim Dalferes

As it’s the end of the year, I’ve been reflecting a bit on the happenings in my life across 2012. Overall, from my vantage point up here in the middle-aged cheap seats, it was a pretty good year. We did lose too many good friends as they left this world to move on to their next adventures. Reaching the mid-life marker seems to bring with it the reality that some of us leave this world too soon. 2012 also seemed to bring many opportunities for me to do or say things that I never thought I would … [Read more...]

Switching Teams

October 18, 2012 by Kim Dalferes

“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together... mass hysteria!” Movie, please? That’s right, the great Bill Murray aka Dr. Peter Venkman, in that cinematic masterpiece: Ghostbusters.   Why yes, Dr. Venkman, we have a bit of mass hysteria going on at my house at the moment. We have adopted a cat. I am not a cat person – my friends and family know this. I like dogs. I have been a firm member of “Team Canine” all of my life.  Yet, here I am, coexisting with a cat. How did this happen you … [Read more...]

Hello!

Author photo #2 in colorI hope you enjoy your time here and that you come back often. Wondering what makes me tick? This favorite quote from one of the grand dames of writing, Erma Bombeck, might help: Hook 'em with the lead. Hold 'em with laughter. Exit with a quip they won't forget. This seems to be a good overall life goal, don’t you think?

Kim Dalferes’ Latest Book…

Crazy Southern Irish Gal Two-Book Bundle

Humor writer Kimberly “Kimba” Dalferes dishes on a wide variety of topics–from days of her youth spent blissfully on the shores of Florida’s beaches to menopause and empty nests–in her nonfiction collection Crazy Southern Irish Gal Two-Book Bundle. In both titles: I Was In Love With a Short Man Once and Magic Fishing Panties, Dalferes’ crazy Southern Irish gal perspective inspires her illustrations of life’s quirky twists and turns. Together, these books offer descriptive and colorful essays on subjects such as getting a tattoo in midlife, unique uses for kitty litter, handling a rabid bat, public speaking gone wrong, and naked hot-tubbing in Vegas. Dalferes skillfully weaves what at first glance may appear to be dissimilar themes into a tapestry that invokes her life’s motto: live out loud, laugh often, and ‘occasionally’ drink tequila. Now available through Amazon Kindle.
