Turkey Wisdom

November 27, 2011

Another Thanksgiving has passed and I am walking somewhat like a turkey as I write this. Once again – way too much food – way too much drink – and way too little sleep. This year I again created my spectacular sweet potatoes – my sweeties as I call them. And while I was peeling [...]

Tweet Nanny Needed – Inquire Within

January 25, 2011

Remember the days when you had to mail out invitations and write letters to far away family if you wanted them to know what was going on in your life? I was never the best at all that social correspondence so it should come as no surprise that I am also not very on top [...]

Is your new phone way SMARTER than you are?

September 30, 2010

It’s finally happened. I have been brought low by technology – “SMART” technology in fact. There should be a test – some sort of qualification to make sure you are as SMART as the latest SMART device you purchase. It all began innocently enough in early September when I was getting ready to move and [...]

TMI All Over the Place!

June 5, 2010

Ok – here’s a conversation I had recently with a friend. It was a simple enough conversation and contained a question from yours truly. Just a simple “yes/no” type of question. By the time I got my answer I could have watched Mel Brook’s History of the World, Parts 1, 2 and 3. Actually the [...]

Do I Really Need a Snuggie?

January 15, 2010

It’s that magical time again – a new year is upon us bringing with it all the relief that we made it safely through the old year and all the excitement and anticipation of what is ahead. It’s that time when we make all sorts of promises to ourselves that we mostly don’t keep. This [...]

The Turkeys are Coming!

November 15, 2009

It’s that time again – that wonderful time of year when we eat more than we do the other ten months put together, kiss more relatives than we ever knew we had, and wander around malls, real and online, in that perpetual holi-daze. As always at this time of year I think back to memorable [...]

Networking Neuroses

October 21, 2009

It’s finally come to this. Miley has deleted her Twitter account. I don’t know about you but what is there left to drag myself out of bed for in the morning??! I have to confess that I don’t really get all this networking stuff. It started off simply enough in my life. Someone invited me [...]

My Life in Infomercials

September 17, 2009

As I look around my lovely home I can’t help but reflect on what the years of my life have left behind as visual reminders of times, places – and various selves – long ago transformed. Some people may look through photo albums to recapture those images of times past, friendships treasured, beloved family (parents, [...]

Godiva is my Goddess

August 15, 2009

Have you noticed lately that everywhere you look there are goddess-themed products, books, events and even underwear? As I sit here wearing my goddess-themed jammies, busily writing, I can’t help but think that this emphasis on modern women as goddesses is a little misguided. Let’s think for a moment about the goddesses and whether or [...]

Feng Shui for the Lazy Woman

June 15, 2009

Recently I attended a workshop on Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese practice of placement in order to achieve harmony, comfort and balance. Now, as a busy professional woman, I realized I needed a system to keep track of my events, private appointments and ever-expanding ‘To Do’ list, so I decided to apply what I learned [...]
