It’s the Away Part of Sleepaway Camp that Gets to Me

Posted in Aging, Family, Kids, Parenting, tagged , on June 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »

In fourteen days, my kids will leave for sleepaway camp.  You’d think I’d be excited.  They are going to have this incredible experience, make lifelong friends, enjoy the mountains, and a lake, and the camaraderie that’s practically exclusive to being at camp. You’d think I’d be looking forward to having some time alone with my [...]

Sex in the City 2 – You’re pissing me off

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Fashion, tagged , , on May 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

The crazy blind dates. The long curly hair. The constant wondering when (and if) I would find Mr. Right. The cosmos. Other than the shoes and the rampantly indiscriminate sex, I could relate to Carrie’s life in the HBO hit series Sex in the City. Of course by the time the show aired I was [...]

(Pole Dancing + Trapeze) x major hair-cut = Midlife Crisis

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Exercise, Health, Humor, Laughs, tagged , , , , , , , on May 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I think I’m having a midlife crisis. Why else would I have cut off my hair, gone Pole Dancing and and taken a trapeze class all in the last month? Yep, that’s me on the trapeze…though not me (I mean , seriously) on the pole. I think it all started with my 7th annual 39th [...]

Freebie for Meebie: Dermalogica NYC

I have often been annoyed at the fact that while I spend a fair amount of time writing this blog, I earn a whole lotta nothing for doing so. My friend from Beccarama told me that her husband says that there’s no way a whole bunch of men would be writing all of this stuff [...]

Avon Reversalist: Product Review

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged , , on April 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

So it’s no secret that I’m none too thrilled with the state of my skin.  But neither am I willing to spend a bazillion dollars on creams and lotions for it.  I guess the bottom line is, I just don’t believe that it makes all that much of a difference which product you use – [...]

Ageless Body? Yeah, right.

Long ago, I discovered the secret to buying (passably) flattering bathing suits: the worse you look the more you pay. (Hence, the Karla Coletto bazillion dollar(and worth every penny) bathing suit.)  I then learned the secret to feeling young and attractive: hang out with the septaugenarians.  I’ve bemoaned the new fahion-math: in Hollywood, size six [...]

NYC Moms Blog Post: My Daughter Thinks She's Fat and It's all my Fault

Swimsuit season is upon us.  And with it the onslaught of diet ads on tv, magazines with pics of celebs caught having actual cellulite, and me, bemoaning my post-partum, post-forty, past passing for anything but middle-aged body. Though I am, if I am completely, intellectually honest, neither truly fat, or particularly unattractive, I have made [...]

This week, summer prematurely came to New York and with it, came a few discoveries.  1. People on the East Side spend a lot of time on their knees, while people on the West Side spend a lot of time on their food.  How else to explain the plethora of tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils sprouting [...]

If you’re from the Northeast -and maybe even if you’re not – going to Florida means one of two things: going to the ultra-hip, cool, and trendy South Beach, or going to see your Grandparents. Of course Grandparents-in-Florida means a lot of things: – polyester pants – canasta by the pool – early bird specials [...]

Self Deprecation Update!

Posted in Aging, Humor, Laughs, tagged , , , , on September 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I know what some of you have been thinking: “Wait! She can write about something other than herself?!?!?  Where’s the humor?  Whence the jokes? Wherefore all the political stuff?” Fear not.  I’m back.  I mean, why should I worry about right-wing, tale-telling, potential leaders of the free world when I can obsess over my age [...]
