Taking myself ‘Out’
The deep, dark secrets of my closet
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
This is a preemptive strike. I’ll admit it. I’m not afraid.
My husband has been threatening to “out” me ever since I started this column. And, he is playing basketball tonight and has no idea that I’m stealing his thunder…

It’s that time of year again.
Resolutions, rebirth and renewal… blah, blah, blah.

With every Christmas card I blight…
Once a nice gesture, cards are becoming a production number
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Christmas cards.
In the past few years they have gone from a nice gesture to a pressure cooker for the world’s greatest Glamour shot…have you noticed?
Gone are the days when you could run to Hallmark and find a box with a snowman on the front. Now, you look like a slacker if you don’t...
Dear Santa: what not to bring…please?
A must-not-have list for the fashion conscious
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Dear Santa,
I have been a (relatively) good girl this year.
For example:
1. I try not to scream at my children (in public)

3. I never let people see me rolling my eyes when they act like morons.
