Put some Clothes On!

Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Laughs, Rants, tagged , , on July 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I am old. Not because of  my saggy knees, or brown spots, or my elbows that look as if they’ve been crumpled up in the back of a drawer for a few decades.  No, I am old because I am horrified by what “young girls” are wearing. (plus, I refer to anyone under thirty as [...]

The Comeback Kid – The comebacks I wish I had when I needed them

Posted in Family, Humor, Laughs, Rants, tagged , , on July 8, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Here are some of the choice things said to me recently by friends and family  (and one stranger): As I was on my way to the gym: “I so admire you, Nancy.  I could never leave the house looking like that.” As I was entering a dressing room to try on bathing suits: “Are you [...]

If They Pay You/Freebie You/Comp You, Can you Still be a Good Blogger?

Posted in Rants, Reviews, Shopping, Writing, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »

So, this weekend, I went to the SVMOMS/BitMoms brand/blogger roundtable/schmooze fest. (OK, no more slashes for this entire post, I promise.) I had a great time re-connecting with and/or (oops! slash alert!) meeting some very cool blogging moms, like CultureMom, Marinka, Linsey Krolick (finally!) and Mastermind Mommy I also got to meet a lot of [...]

Busy Doing Nothing

Posted in Dogs, Family, Laughs, Neurosis, Parenting, Rants, Working Mom, pets, tagged , , , on April 30, 2010 | 4 Comments »

At the end of every day, I feel like I have done nothing. Oh I’ve been busy all right. But doing what? So one day last week, I decided to keep track of my day — how could I have been so busy during all those hours when the kids were at school and have [...]

Negative New York: I’m so Over it!

Posted in Rants, tagged , , on April 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Sarcasm. Pessimism. Negativity. I think this city needs an attitudinal makeover. Perhaps the most depressing sign of just how far pessimism has gone is the sign on the scaffolding of the nearly-finished luxury residential building in my neighborhood: “Twenty-First Century Pre-War Residences” it reads.  It’s even the headline when you go to the building’s website.

Stomach Flu: Where are you when I need You?

Posted in Diet, Family, Health, Humor, Rants, Weight, tagged , , , on April 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Yes, it’s true – I’ve been gone a while. Why? Oh — I don’t know.  Maybe it’s the VIRULENT stomach flu coursing through my entire family. Even the dog threw up.  Seriously. First it was my son.  On vacation. In Florida.  Perfect weather.  Beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters.  We stayed inside for almost the entire [...]

Ok.  We’re heading into week SEVEN without a dryer.  And here’s the Sears Service Update.  Turns out the Sears people actually have an entire division devoted to solving the problems that people blog about.  Really! So I now have my own personal account person, Tammy, handling my – ummmm – extreme pain in the ass [...]

Sears: You Stink!

Posted in Family, Rants, Reviews, tagged , , on February 11, 2010 | 5 Comments »

I am officially a housewife.  Know how I know?  Because much of my time over the past month has been spent talking about, worrying about, arguing about, and bemoaning the loss of — my dryer. Anyone with kids (and lets face it, a husband) knows: there is no end to the laundry.  I sometimes feel [...]

Wii For Old Folks? You mean my excuse doesn’t work anymore?

Posted in Exercise, Laughs, Rants, tagged , , on January 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »

For quite some time now, I’ve been blaming my total lack of video-gaming ability on my age.  I am so bad at Wii that according to my Wii Fit, I should be stumbling all over the place, barely able to walk and talk on my cell phone at the same time. But I don’t really [...]

Youngening: It's true! We're all getting younger!

Posted in 23andMe, Fashion, Humor, Rants, Shopping, Weight, tagged , , , , on June 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Forty is the new thirty.  Fifty is the new forty.  Twenty one is the new eighteen.  In fact, my hormones are skyrocketing to adolescent levels even as I type. It’s the new math.  And Lord knows, I’ve never been much good at math. Funny.  I’m not much good at getting younger as I age, either. [...]
