I love having the Sunday Times delivered to my home. I look forward to reading the magazine on Saturday afternoons along with the Real Estate section. The Real Estate section is one of my favorite parts because I love reading about Manhattan real estate. I have my methods to reading. On Saturday, it’s always Real Estate first, followed by t …
A friend asked me to look at a text conversation on her phone last week. She thought it was funny and wanted to share it with me. In looking through the text conversation, I could not help but be amazed at the amount of emoji’s each of them were using to express themselves. Does anyone use words anymore ?
I had to follow up Mitch’s blog about the horror in Paris with one of my own. Mitch did an incredible job writing about the facts. For me, today, it’s all about the emotions. As I commented on Mitch’s blog on Sunday, two days after the attacks, “My heart hurts.” The Sunday Times reported that many of the victims at the concert and the resta …
I have been thinking and talking a lot lately about reinventing oneself. Many of my clients seem to want to change careers or other aspects of themselves after going through a divorce. I am not a therapist but it seems like a natural progression to me. A good friend-who has not gone through a divorce-has seemed to reinvent herself as a very …
It has not happened to me in a while so I was, admittedly, unprepared when it did. I was speaking to another lawyer-a man- about a fee his client was obligated to pay my firm on behalf of my client (a typical circumstance in divorce cases). Despite me initially agreeing to reducing the fee and giving the husband sixty days to pay the reduced fee …
As I have said so many times, I am not a sports fan. I have, however, recently begun to appreciate how sports can bring people together. My husband Philip, as most of you do know, is an avid Jets fan. So is my brother. And so I was glad to answer the phone when my brother called on Saturday night to offer to watch the Jets-Patriots game …
I have a habit that drives my husband crazy; I am a snoozer. Every morning, I set my alarm clock for, at least, fifteen minutes before I have to get out of bed. Then, in the morning, I let the alarm clock go off and hit the snooze button, at least three times. Obviously, my snoozing habit wakes my husband up if he’s still sleeping. My husba …
When was the last time you completely stepped out of your comfort zone and did something crazy? That is not something I do very often. Generally, I am a cautious person and do not, comfortably step away from my comfort zone. Most people who know me know I have a fear of flying. In order to fly, I generally take valium so I can sleep through …
I thought I would follow Don’s lead and write about a topic which concerns my head. When I am asked whether I would cut my hair, my answer is usually the same, “Never. I am my hair.” And, while my response may sound comical, there is some seriousness in my answer. I cannot imagine ever cutting my hair short, changing the current color, or …
Last week I was playing on my laptop and planned a cruise around Greece for my husband and I. Nothing was booked; nor did I even sign into any website. But, in my mind, I found the ideal cruise for us. I then looked at possible shore excursions using a few different websites. When I turned off my computer, I had saved nothing from any of my …
It's Monday, Monday. Let me know what you think about. . .
