I am looking out my window right now and perhaps the only word that comes to mind is “YUCK!” Or something that rhymes with yuck, that I won’t type, this being a family-centered site and all. But seriously — it’s not even snowing. It’s SLUSHING. And I don’t care if that’s a word or not. [...]

Sears Stinks a little Less!: The Saga of the Dryer, Part Deux
Posted in Rants, Shopping, tagged blog complaints, broken dryer, Sears service on February 19, 2010 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
Shopping the Big Box Stores in Style
Posted in Food, Shopping, tagged big box stores in NY, BJ's, warehouse shopping in NYC on January 29, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Tomorrow, BJ’s warehouse opens in Flushing. To any of you outside of NYC, this might not seem like a big deal. But, here in NY, land of the shoebox apartments, big box stores are a big big deal. And groceries are really, really expensive. So the addition of a BJ’s to the city is a [...]
You Need a New Bra!
Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Laughs, Reviews, Shopping, tagged bra shopping, getting the right sized blog, Intimacy, Lingerie in larger sizes on January 14, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I have big boobs. That’s just a fact. And lest you think I’m bragging about it, let me tell you the truth about big boobs: after you have children, after you nurse children, after gravity takes its toll, after forty, big boobs are saggy boobs. Perky and 36DD are simply not words you hear together, [...]
Rock Star on the RoadL Rand McNally's Car Karaoke
Posted in Family, Reviews, Shopping, Travel on September 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I love being out of the city. The flowers, the sea, the incessant barking of the dog of the people renting the house next door. Sunshine, fresh air. Picking the herbs I need to cook instead of spending $1.50 a bunch for them, using only a few tablespoons worth, and waiting until the rest gets [...]
My New Favorite Swimsuit Company
Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Reviews, Shopping, tagged flattering bathing suit, Karla Colletto, Shape FX, strategic dressing on August 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve written quite a bit about Karla Colletto – the fabulously expensive and fabulously flattering swimsuit that actually managed to make me feel less than disgusting on the beach last summer. But notice that first “fabulously?” The expense of a KC bathing suit is a bit daunting — upwards of $200 dollars to start. So [...]
Youngening: It's true! We're all getting younger!
Posted in 23andMe, Fashion, Humor, Rants, Shopping, Weight, tagged ageism, Aging, forty is the new thirty, summer fashion, sundresses 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. [...]
Why DELL Sucks
Posted in Rants, Shopping on January 9, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Part of my fabulous Mexico vacation was not so fabulous: An entire glass of water spilled on my laptop, and now it is no longer. I’ve always had Dells (so sue me, I’m cheap) and so went on line to order a new one. The Dell representative I spoke to, Jamie Norman, told me I [...]
The Joy of Getting
Posted in Family, Kids, Shopping on December 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This year Hannukah and Christmas coincided. This might not be big news to gentiles, but to Jews, it is a fortuitous lunar/solar alignment that makes us want to spin around singing “The Age of Aquarius.” Because when the two holidays combine, that means we have something to do on Christmas Eve, when everyone else is [...]

I went for the swag. The holidays are coming, the economy is tanking, and Leap Frog sent me a (no obligations)invitation to a party offering free stuff,(I love swag) and free food (I love to eat) at the Four Seasons Hotel! Hello! I’m going. See, I have been raising a couple of Luddites. My kids [...]
