How to Steal an Emmy
In this bit from her recent appearance on Conan O’Brien, Julia Louis-Dreyfus makes a compelling case for why SHE deserved to nab the Best Actress Emmy, not rival Tina Fey. Great sports all around. Enjoy!

Busy much?
Oofah, “busy” doesn’t even begin to describe what this month has been like. The back-to-school chaos mixed in with waaaayyyyy too much volunteering (I must be stopped!) has kept me running like a hamster on a wheel.

Welcome Autumn 2008
My favorite season. Cool breezes.Warm sweaters.Cushy blankets.Fresh pressed cider.Pumpkin pie.Crockpot cooking.Caramel apples.Crackling logs in the fireplace.Changing leaves.Darker nights.An extra hour when we turn the clocks back.Nesting, hibernating, hunkering down for the cold to come.

7 years ago
So many images playing in my head from the terror attacks on 9/11, most of them awful. This one used to bring me comfort, back in the day. Now when I look at it, I still see the poignancy, but I also can’t help but think about all of that toxic dust those guys areRead more about 7 years ago[…]

My new “baby”
One of the many things that has kept me crazy busy lately is that my car lease is up at the end of this month. So, I’ve spent the last couple of days (now that the kids are back in school) doing lots of research and test drives and such. I thought I had itRead more about My new “baby”[…]
