So this past weekend was The Running of the Jews, otherwise known as The Only Day Teenagers are Happy...actually HAPPY...to spend an entire day with their parents, otherwise known as Camp Visiting Day. I've heard the stories and seen the videos - people running to snag the best activities, the Continue Reading
Yes, it's true. I am a Windows Phone geek. the HTC Windows Phone 8X is my all -time favorite. I love that operating system. I love an operating system. How weird and geeky and sad. But geekdom has it's benefits: HTC recently sent me its new Droid DNA to review, and while it doesn't turn me away Continue Reading
I love my HTC Windows Phone 8X. Only it's not mine. It's a loaner, given (lent) to me by HTC so I could review it. Only I don't want to give it back. Really, I don't. It's no surprise that I love Windows Phone. I love it so much that even though the only model Sprint carried with the operating Continue Reading

Kristen Chenoweth is always a star. The sets, by Scott Pask, were smart and snappy, the lighting was beautiful. And the Continue Reading

Brains? Nancy Drew. But if you asked my ten year old twins who would win - then you'd have a real Continue Reading
I have always hated housework. I know what you're thinking....doesn't everyone? But no, not everyone does. Some people feel a sense of accomplishment. Some people get into the Zen of it. Me? I just plain hate it. Which is why I am SO bummed out, that because of Blogher, I'm feeling OBLIGATED Continue Reading
A few weeks ago my fellow blogger and Blogging Angel, Rebecca Levey from Beccarama.com, took me to see A Little Night Music on Broadway.
