Resolution, schmesolution, you want new things in the new year? Just do it. (Sorry, Nike) I started with my hair. The other day I posted about my new super short ‘do. I left that hairdresser looking TOTALLY different. Of course, that was when she blow dried it. This morning, I did it myself — and [...]

Duane Reade: The Times Square of NY Stores
Posted in Humor, Shopping, tagged #CBias, #duanereade, American Eagle Outfitters, Duane Reade, New York, New York City, Robin Byrd, Sephora, Times Square, Walgreen on December 16, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Recently, I went shopping at Duane Reade, the New York convenience store, and it made me think of Times Square. If you grew up in New York, or if you’ve been here more than 20 years, or if you’ve seen any Scorcese movie made in the 1970′s, then you remember when Times Square was seedy. [...]
Twitter: Martinis for the Modern Mom
Posted in Humor, tagged escaping housewife tedium, housewifery, Tweeting on December 7, 2011 | 6 Comments »
In the 18th century, to break up the monotony of stoking fires and slaughtering oxen, American housewives tatted, going blind making lace, blissfully unaware that it was the pre-cursor to Hanky Panky thongs. In the 19th century, women had their salons, performing for each other, and leaving us a legacy of reality stars who are [...]
Why it’s Better to be a Drama Mom than a Soccer Mom

I grew up in a family where sports were virtually non-existent. My father never watched a single game. My brother never played on a team. My mother couldn’t have named a single professional athlete. My sister and I were wholly uninterested (and unskilled) at organized sports. We weren’t un-coordinated. My brother was a ski instructor [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Misspelled

Can you guess what the movers meant? Did they think we were fascists? Did they think they had just packed up Mussolini’s kitchen? Nope. They Meant Miscellaneous. Best misspelling ever

This weekend, the kids, the dog and I (Hubby was in sunny Florida) went to visit my sister who recently left the hipster haven of Brooklyn for a small, bucolic college town more than two hours north of NYC. While she’s renovating her new acquired 1726 farmhouse, she’s living in a different farmhouse she rents [...]

Congratulations are in order. Because I have accomplished the impossible. I now weigh what I weighed when I returned home from the hospital after giving birth to twins ten years ago. Yes, it’s true.

So it’s the first day of school. And here’s what I’ve learned already: 1. I clearly, really, and truly, must have sat on my ass all summer. How do I know this? Well, this morning, after cabbing it to school for a meet your new-student buddy breakfast at 7:30 (never mind that our new student [...]

Earlier this week my post about how to behave at a Broadway Show got a lot of attention when the lovely now-they’re-my-best-friends people at WordPress chose it for Freshly Pressed, their daily pick of the 10 most comment-worthy posts on the nearly 240,000 blogs housed there. I got a lot of hits (nearly 3000), a [...]
