We took the kids to see The Lion King on Broadway this afternoon at the Minskoff Theater in New York City. It was a great show. The theater is small, and the actors often come out into the audience throughout the performance, so there was not a bad seat in the house. They have boosterRead more about The Lion King on Broadway[…]
There was a time when I used to enjoy reading Newsweek. Then came the rise of 24-hour news channels and internet news sites, all providing stunning visuals and breaking news in real time. Weekly news magazines like Newsweek quickly became outdated dinosaurs The only way for Newsweek to compete and try to stay relevant was to offer in-depth, thoughtful analysis.Read more about Newsweek’s Downward Spiral Continues[…]
I watched this show last night with my daughter. Dear lord. I love my pets, I truly do, but these folks were so, so, so far over the top in their obsessions with their dogs. One man said, “When Wolfie died, everything that was special about me went with her.” Is this guy serious?Read more about TV review: I Cloned My Pet[…]
A baby is a miracle that takes 9 months to grow and a lifetime to nurture….and then you go and name her “Blue”??? There oughta be a law against that. Truly. What is this crazy sickness that comes over people–especially celebrities–when they have a baby?

I love buying “As Seen On TV” products and trying them out at home. Sometimes, I’m pleasantly surprised at how well the product delivers on its promises. This was not one of those times. I love Deviled Eggs and egg salad, and my kids like hard-boiled eggs as a snack. Lately, I’ve been buying theRead more about AS SEEN ON TV: Review of Eggies[…]
I treated myself to a pedicure today, and went with one of my all-time favorite shades: I’m Not Really A Waitress by OPI. It’s the company’s biggest selling polish, and for good reason: it’s the perfect shade of red with a nice shimmer to it. Even my husband noticed. Not too shabby! It’s back toRead more about I’m Not Really A Waitress[…]
I just read a news report about a 15-year-old girl from Afghanistan that was held captive and brutally, systematically tortured for 6 months by her in-laws. Sahar Gul has finally been freed, and is being sent to India for treatment. Her husband is in hiding, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law have been arrested. I’m sure, as women,Read more about The Suffering of Sahar Gul[…]
Like most New Year’s Days past, today was a peaceful, quiet day spent at home with Rich and the kids. If I had to describe what I did today, I’d say it was periods of intense productivity interrupted by periods of total laziness. Washed a bunch of dishes, then sat and surfed the ‘net. Cleaned outRead more about Cooking up some fun – 1/1/12[…]
I’ve never been a fan of New Year’s Resolutions. While it’s admirable–and probably advisable–to periodically take stock of one’s life and consider those things you’d like to change, I think people put way too much pressure on themselves come January 1st. They start the year full of hope and promise and excitement, and within a week or so whenRead more about Looking ahead in 2012[…]
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
