What Actually Makes Someone Interesting? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What makes someone truly interesting? It is not automatically the résumé, the credentials, the fame, the biggest personality or even the best collection of stories. In Episode 151, Virginia looks at the people and conversations that changed her mind—from unexpected BravoCon encounters and two very different podcast interviews to a Mexico adventure she never would have planned for herself and the endlessly curious conversations she has with her grandsons. Along the way, she considers the differen
Too Much Vicki? RHUGT, Episode 150 and the Wine That Won (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Virginia made it to Episode 150—and celebrated by discovering that she is officially number 199 out of 199 on a waiting list for a recalled car part.

Suddenly, checking thousands of photos and videos didn't feel quite so dramatic. Then, on Travel on the Virg, we're talking about my ongoing N
The Weird Little Things We Do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all have them: the strange little habits that make perfect sense to us and may—or may not—drive everyone around us crazy. In this episode, I'm talking about idiosyncrasies: cupboard slamming, loud typing, knuckle cracking, giant keychains, favorite utensils, assigned sides of the bed and the phrases our families can predict before we even say them. Some quirks are funny. Some are irritating. Some reveal a larger pattern. And some become so connected to the people we love that we miss them whe
