My Daughter Exhibits her Worldliness Looking at a book on London, she spies a picture of Westminster Abbey. (Photo from About London Picture Gallery) She looked at it and then asked in her most astonished voice, “Mommy! Is that Downton Abbey?” My Husband Makes Me Feel Incredibly Old, Part 1 Waiting for Downton Abbey to [...]

I’m ashamed. I’ve done something that’s just so… wrong. I feel so dirty. Which will sound a little ironic when I tell you the horrific thing I’ve done. I’ve– I’ve– God, it’s hard to spit this out. But I must. Deep breath. Okay. Here it is. I’ve done the laundry. And not just once. I [...]

Am I the only one who gets teary eyed at Schoolhouse Rock? Seriously! Every time that Bill becomes a Law, I just want to weep in happiness for him. The pressure in not blogging very often is that when I finally do blog, I know you all think I’m going to have something interesting to [...]
My hair was a mess. It really need a good dye job. My gray roots were showing. “I look old,” I told Adam. “No, you don’t,” he assured me, because he had to assure me because it was my birthday, I had agreed to go to his 20th high school reunion, and there was no [...]
After a week with three time outs, two out-and-out temper tantrums (plus one from the kids), mornings that started an hour before I would have preferred, a switch to daylight savings meaning kids who won’t go to sleep, hockey, a birthday party, two separate visits to the dentist, a playdate, drum lesson, ballet lesson, Hebrew [...]
Yes, my husband did go by the store today for an iPad 2. The AT&T store was supposed to get in a shipment, but alas, they had not. They could order one for him… that would come in two weeks. No thanks, he said. He’s going on a business trip overseas and he’ll simply buy [...]

We were watching things off the DVR (catching up with Big Love, which I think has jumped the shark), when the phone rang for Adam. He told me to go back watching, but after peeking at Twitter, I felt I was missing out by not watching the Grammys, so I switched the channel. Adam was [...]

Adam likes to grow a beard starting on December 25. He keeps it for the winter and then shaves it on June 25. Last night, I looked at him and said, “I’m not sure I want you to grow your beard this year.” “Why not?” he asked. “Well, looking at the holiday card, I think [...]

Ah, the holiday season is well upon us. Also known as card season. This year, as with most years, I came up with the idea for our holiday card (always a new year’s card to avoid the whole “we don’t celebrate Christmas” thing). I cajoled my son into contributing a picture. I picked the photos. I [...]

Tonight was Adam’s work party. When Adam started at the company six years ago, he was the thirty-fifth employee. Tonight we were told that over 600 people had RSVP’d for the party. It was a fabulous party–the view was great, the food was good, and the booze was plentiful. I found a handful of people [...]
