The Day After – newspapers still rule
No matter how you cut it, online news will never replace a newspaper headline reporting key historic events. People lining up at DC Amtrak to buy newspapers covering the inauguration.
My Best Life – Following Suze Orman’s Pledge
One of the Best Life segments on Oprah featured Suze Orman. You were able to view Orman’s 2009 Action Plan for a limited time period. You got love it right. The power of Oprah and Suze makes a few million. There were a few topics that were helpful which I am going research and report […]
T-Bird Mini Reunion
I had some friends over for drinks today to toast our friend Elaine visit. This was stopover on our way to the inauguration. With the exception of one person, all of us met at grad school. I have to say that even after all these years we are pretty close and keep in touch. None […]
Lightbulb Moment – Wow I am fat
Not much else to say. I think this is one of those forcing mechanisms that makes you realize that you need to change your life. I would have to equate this to someone who decides to go AA and says aloud ” I am an alcoholic”. I will say it aloud, ” I AM FAT.
How the h**l is homework going to fit into our routine???
I just got an email from my daughter’s teacher that the homework log will be coming home in the backpack. The infamous backpack. I have no idea how homework or anything was communicated in the olden days. Now a days, if you don’t check the backpack you are s**t out of luck. I can not […]

Sinking in the Quicksand
Instead of starting to look for job, I am buying a pair of slippers at Filene’s Basement. Afterwards, I sat looking out at the square overwhelmed by the task at hand and where to begin in my search. There is so much whirling around in my head that I feel like I am sinking.
A Day at the Museum
After our playdate with my friend and her adorable daughter, we braved the bitter winter cold and headed to the Natural History Museum/Hayden Planetarium. Since my friends lives uptown, I try to get a quick museum trip in so I at least get some culture in even if its only for 15 minutes. I also […]
The downside to living in a full service building
It is Jan 2 and I have yet to give out the bonuses to the workers in the building. Frankly, given my financial situation (no job), I shouldn’t be giving out tips this year. But seriously, just giving the minimum $40 for a years worth of services seems like a paltry sum to withhold. Right??? UGH!!! […]
