I believe in New Year’s resolutions and there are always themes. For example, losing that 10 pounds is always right up there on my list. So is putting my technology away when it should be away. OK, so maybe I am not always successful in keeping my resolutions. Notwithstanding my degree of success, I engage in the process anyway. It’s more like …
It is hard to believe that this is my last blog for 2015. This year really flew by. Does anyone else find that as you get older the years go more quickly? When I was young, I remember vividly how September felt. At the beginning of each school year it was nearly impossible to imagine that June was just around the corner. It always was. As ti …
I saw a news report recently about an artist whose business is making bracelets. Each bracelet consists of colored string tied to a circle upon which a single word is imprinted. You choose the word and the artist imprints it onto the bracelet. Turns out it isn’t easy to pick one word that has significance, important enough to look at every day. …
There has been a lot of talk in my house recently about sleep habits. Most people I talk to complain about not getting enough sleep. Here is the debate though. Television or no television? I need the distraction of mindless television to take my mind off a long day. The men in my house would say the same thing, although I am reasonably sure i …
This past weekend, we visited Hyde Park. It was a beautiful day to tour the home that spanned the entirety of FDR’s entire life –from his birth through his death. Inside the main house, we saw the room in which he was born and just to the side of the house, both FDR and Eleanor are buried in his mother’s rose garden. The most interesting part …
As I write this, Cyber Monday is coming to a close. You know, that day meant for fuzzy slippers on your feet, a cup of coffee in one hand and your computer mouse in the other. While I spent the day at work where my fuzzy slippers were not welcome today, I am generally a big fan of cyber shopping. What more could I ask for – variety, discounts and …
I think I have been in denial about winter coming to New York. It has been so warm recently that it just didn’t seem like this weather change was coming. It arrived today. Not in a big storm, deep freeze kind of way. But in a wake you up, remember me, kind of way. Anyone else out there have trouble finding a scarf and gloves this mor …
I sat down to try to write another blog but just could not. Friday night Bill was out with friends and my son and I had a “mother-son” dinner. [Bacon wrapped steak and a boulder blossom at Boulder Creek, his current favorite meal]. We were together as the events in Paris were being reported. We watched together and talked. He was intently in …
I am not sure I have ever written a movie review blog. But here goes. This past weekend, we saw “Truth”, the movie about what came to be known as Rathergate, the news story that took down Dan Rather. Regardless of whether you lean the same way as the movie, I recommend visiting a movie theatre soon to take this one in. First, really excellent …
What a surprise – I am writing about food. Comfort food is a funny thing for me. It comes in so many shapes, sizes and flavors. But I have to admit that my most guilty food pleasure is fast food. More specifically, a Big Mac with large fries. What is your guilty food pleasure? Will you meet me at McDonalds?
Facebook Moms that is. There is a phenomenon going on out there on Facebook. It is called the Moms groups. I have heard about this craze from a number of different places and decided to join two local Facebook Moms groups. Wow. Powerful on so many levels. One has advertising rules (Sunday and Wednesday only). Both are resources for sourcing do …
I do not understand the sneaker mania craze. A few years ago, I blogged about a Sneaker Expo that my son and his friend attended. Recently, however, sneaker mania leapt to new levels in my house. A few weeks ago, my son asked if I still had the box for a pair of sneakers he had outgrown about a year ago. I did. He still had the sneakers. "Why do …
I admit that I don’t watch much television anymore. It’s just hard to find the time to commit to a regular series. There are a few that call me, but honestly not all that much. The Big Bang Theory, however, is one of my favorite shows. First, it accommodates my schedule. I can watch an episode nearly any time the television in on. Second, I enj …
Amongst my friends I admit that my husband I take frequent selfies. Amongst my friends I also admit that they are mostly pretty awful. My kids run the other way when the camera comes out because apparently we are embarrassing. This past weekend, we reached the epitome of selfie embarrassment. On two different occasions, we were attempting to ta …
I asked my daughter this afternoon what time she had to “be in laden”. My husband asked me later, “Am I bringing you pizza?” Hint: Although I really like pizza, I was at work and he was heading to pick up my son. I asked my sister “What’s new?” and she said “Nothv”. And of course, I can never ever text “Oy” because it invariably ends up …
