Well, it’s the holiday season, and you know what that means! Look at those excited faces. GINGERBREAD HOUSES! I have to admit, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. It’s not like I pretend to be Amazing Crafty Mom, but remember last year? Note the sad, sliding wreath, stopped only by the sad, sliding […]
Baby It’s Cold Outside, aka The Holiday Date-Rape Song
December 12, 2010 by
I was sick this week with a weird little illness that manifested itself as a sore throat, tight chest, and overwhelming exhaustion. Today is the first day I haven’t felt as though if I closed my eyes for more than a blink, I would succumb to narcoleptic urges. Unfortunately I woke up with no voice […]
The Elderly and the Fireplace Channel
December 8, 2010 by
So no one died or was dismembered from the swim lessons yesterday, happily enough. They froze, because our lovely city seems to be practicing the utmost frugality when it comes to heating municipal swimming pools, and also it is December, but they are still in one piece. So that’s a win. To warm ourselves up, […]
Fake – and Fabulous

I am sitting right now, seething with anxiety, because my children are both at swimming lessons with their school.

The party was great! I had full intentions of posting pictures of my outfit, but we had a new sitter and in my anxious getting-ready-to-leave-and-talking-far-too-much (“and the cell number is here, and here, and here”) I forgot to take a picture before we left, and then when we got home I was feeling slightly worse […]
Warning: Very Frivolous Post
December 2, 2010 by
It’s December! The sun is shining! The snow is slushy! My husband’s office Christmas party is only tomorrow! I know the socially acceptable norm is to hate the office Christmas party, especially the HUSBAND’S office Christmas party, but I…don’t. Frankly, I love it. I look forward to it every year. I love dressing up, and eating […]
Naughty? Or nice?
November 14, 2010 by
Did you know it is 41 days until Christmas? That’s less than six weeks! Squee! I am feeling extraordinarily festive today. We put up the exterior decorations – and by “we” I mean “my husband” – and I have been bustling around figuring out how many family pictures to print for the Christmas cards and […]
