Awesome Mom

April 5, 2010

In the two years I have been blogging, I have met a few great friends.  Great enough to overcome significant geographical challenges.  Aside from the the hours emailing, texting and calling – all the while lamenting the fact that we aren’t closer to one another – Marcy from the Glamorous Life Association and I have [...]

I Am TRYING To Get Out Of Here

April 1, 2010

Tell me how this is supposed to work. I have a sick Nina – which required a doctor’s visit and a trip to TWO different pharmacies to get what she needed today. I have an injured damned dog – who has her SECOND VET APPOINTMENT FOR THE WEEK at 5:00.  She’s hurt her back leg [...]

About Half Of What I Buy I Return

March 30, 2010

I’m a funny shopper. There’s that word again. Funny. Again, Spin would call it expensive.  But I prefer funny. Ha. Ha. I make life so hard for myself.  Really, I do.  It’s like an art form. I don’t love shopping, but I do so love a bargain. I can’t, won’t spend full price on much [...]

Really, the Only Thing Missing From My Front Yard is a Washer and Dryer

March 29, 2010

I was going to say, “Remember my lovely potted planters last spring?”, but apparently I didn’t blog them.  I took pictures to blog them.  But I didn’t blog them. I know. Shocking. Okay, well – these were them.  Last spring. They were annuals. What’s that?  Pretty?  Why, thank you. They are were. Let’s now call [...]

Am I So Shallow?

March 26, 2010

I have a funny quirk. Spin would call it an expensive quirk, but I prefer to think of it as funny. Ha. Ha. Our spring break trip is coming up next week and for whatever reason, when I am Mexico-bound, I really prefer to be wearing something new darlin’.  (But new is even better.) It [...]

NINA (!!!!)

March 20, 2010

Nina and I took a walk today. (72 degrees pretty much demands such.) On our walk, we were discussing deep thoughts. Nina is 15. You would think the topic of conversation would be Hollywood tabloid related happenings. But it wasn’t. We were talking about Heaven. She had some poignant questions, one of which was “Will [...]

I’m Not Smart

March 19, 2010

So I’m testing a mobile posting plug-in and for the FIRST TIME EVER, my posts are showing up lightning fast in my reader. I’M SORRY. The point IS – I’m working on being able to blog on the fly. Which could be a very good thing. And a very FUN thing. But I’m still trying [...]

It’s Suddenly Not Looking So Glamorous

February 24, 2010

I’m chaperoning a trip to New York with Nina’s performing arts school in a few weeks.  The packing guidelines were sent out yesterday and they’re quite….. specific.  Like specific enough that Nina and I both need several new things. A few of the guidelines: Dressy slacks (no dresses/ skirts) and conservative tops for three dinners [...]

Contrary To Popular Belief, There IS A Pharmacy In Heaven

February 22, 2010

I really like having prescriptions filled at the Target pharmacy, and when I say ‘like’, I really mean, “Ooh! Target! Yes, please!” and I’m in a rush to get there. For some reason, Target never feels like an errand. I mean, I have to go to the grocery. I have to go to the post [...]

Channeling June

February 18, 2010

Spin’s on his way home today, so I’m in a scramble to make it look like I’ve done something this week frantically restoring order to the bomb that went off in EVERY room of this house busy preparing his domain our home for his return. I’ve clearly no time to be witty. Fresh laundry, an [...]
