Lethal Landscaping: Seven Surfaces that Scare the Stilettos Off Every Fashionista

April 4, 2010

Recently, as I walked gingerly on the brick pavers between buildings at my real job—in five-inch Michael Kors platform stiletto sandals—it dawned on me that our urban landscape (which is often a feast for the eyes), is murder on the feet.

Undateable

March 21, 2010

Cracking up over Undateable, a site I only just discovered. It’s based on the book Undateable: 311 Things Guys Do That Guarantee They Won’t be Dating or Having Sex by Ellen Rakieten and Anne Coyle: Did your date show up wearing socks with sandals? Are tighty-whities a deal-breaker for you? Do fanny packs make you [...]

Defrosted

July 8, 2009

I adore my niece and nephew. I mean love, love, love them so much sometimes I wish I could have joint custody…but then again, I’m betting my sister-in-law would gladly share mothering without court intervention! I had the good fortune to be able to spend every week of my nephew’s first two years with him. [...]

Waaaaaahhhhhh-terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

December 25, 2008

Yesterday C took me out for a new dining experience: Yum Cha, which is essentially Chinese for tapas-style eating. We’re digging into our pork and prawn delicacies, and I’m enjoying the very hot red dipping sauce. So much so that my mouth is now on fire, and all I have to soothe the heat is [...]

Back to…OUCH!

May 14, 2008

Back from Chicago, just coming up for air after meeting with contractors and servicemen about my house (it actually got worse after the last photos I posted), catching up on the onslaught of emails and inquiries at work, and coming to terms with the fact that I’m probably not going to lose 10 pounds before [...]

A Mother’s Wisdom

March 24, 2008

Saturday. Mom and I are headed into Target. We’re about to cross the driveway to get to the door, but there is a car approaching that looks like it isn’t going to stop to allow us to cross. So we stop on the periphery to wait and see what’s going to happen. The car continues [...]

March 19, 2008

I recently enjoyed a lovely dinner out with my terrifically witty sister-in-law. It was one of those nights when you wish you just had tape rolling to catch all the funny shit being said. By the time I got home I was in stitches since the final minutes of our conversation went like this… (Foreword: [...]

Bush is best?

March 6, 2008

I have to admit that I am a bit surprised by the results of the survey I posted regarding Brazilian bikini waxes/shaves/what-have-you. Though I am relieved that there are more of us in favor of distancing ourselves from the cavewoman aesthetic, I’m shocked that anyone would think bush is best. BUSH is BEST? Dude, I [...]
