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 [...]

Put some clothes on!!!
Posted in Aging, Beauty, Fashion, Humor, Laughs, Rants, tagged Aging, getting older, muffin tops, pet peeves, summer fashion on April 28, 2009 | 7 Comments »
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 [...]
Longboat Key: The Secret to Staying (relatively) Young
Posted in Aging, Family, Reviews, Travel, tagged family travel, Florida, Ringling Museum, Sarasota, Spring Break, travel with kids on March 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 again, bad perms, flabby knees, Harry's Shoes, reading glasses 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 [...]
Wii Are not a very Good Athlete
Posted in Aging, Exercise, Humor, Laughs, Weight, tagged Junior High Girls, My Boys, Pajamagram, Saving Grace, The Closer, Wii, Wii Fit on August 17, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Although I have been opposed to video games for years, I now own a Wii. I own this Wii because some publicist obviously mistook me for someone with a wide audience and sent me one. He also sent me a Wii Fit. (Which I blogged about Here) The Wii Fit is an amazing toy/exercise tool. [...]
I'll Never be an Olympian
Posted in Aging, Neurosis, Weight, tagged lost opportunites, Olympics on August 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The Olympics start today. Actually, they’ve started already. (Just not on primetime, so not at all. If the Opening Ceremonies happen, and the networks don’t put it on TV, did they really occur?) Something about seeing all those young people from all over the world — well, dorky as it sounds – it always gives [...]
Middle Ages
Posted in Aging, Kids, Uncategorized, tagged 40 is the new thirty, Leap Frog, Middle Aged Mom on August 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
“Mommy! You’re Middle Aged!” screamed my daughter for no apparent reason. There I was, enjoying a perfectly fine day when suddenly: “mommy…..you’re MIDDLE AGED.” WTF? Turns out, my daughter, bless her firm little buttocks, was simply reading from a Leap Frog book about the Human Body. And according to the Frog, I am middle aged. [...]
French Woods/Facebook Finds
Posted in Aging, tagged Facebook, French Woods, memories, old friends, procrastination, reconnecting, Stumble Upon on July 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Humiliating though it may be, I’ve only just discovered the joys of procrastinating with Facebook. Oh, I know all about procrastinating with Stumble Upon, or Snood, or obsessively checking my email. But this Facebook thing – well, it’s brough time-wasting to a whole new level. Plus, it’s made me realize that everybody I’ve ever known [...]
Back Attack
Posted in Aging, Exercise, tagged accupuncture, Back Pain, Herniated Disk, Iyengar Yoga, James Sarno on July 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last Fall I had the most excruciating experience ever: a herniated disk. You might wonder where I plan on finding the humor in that. What might I find funny about being in so much pain that I would given my left…well, I’m a lefty, so maybe my right arm to make it stop? What laughs [...]
Too Old to Swing
Posted in Aging, Laughs, tagged Playground, swings, Upper West Side on July 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I thought I could handle it. I mean, I’ve done it before. The ups and downs of swinging, the thrill. That feeling in the pit of my stomach. But last week, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I tried swinging…and it didn’t go well. I think I’m a little too old. Everyone was so [...]
