The gift that keeps on giving…..Cancer.

Sure, we all know that once upon a time it was not only acceptable to smoke, it was considered GLAMOROUS. Of course that was long before things like medical studies and cancer research. But what surprises me about this ad (and hundreds of others I have found), is that there was a time when giving [...]

Bangs or Botox? The verdict…

  In riveting front page news; I finally cut big ol’ bangs. And as promised- here is a photo. And I am not a hunchback or suffering from early osteoporosis….I am bending down. Since my photographer is considerably shorter than me. But his rates are reasonable and I can usually trade a photo session for [...]

Gettin’ lit up for Christmas.

We went looking at a Christmas light spectacle near our home tonight. Streets and streets of insane  people who not only decorate every single thing on and around their homes, some also serve hot chocolate, have live bands and put out chairs for you to sit and enjoy. We walked several blocks, taking in the [...]

Hoping the years slow down.

Copy of 3-18

8 years ago today my littlest boy was born. I could not possibly love this child more. He sparkles. He shines. He is quite simply a ball of JOY. It is heartbreaking he is growing up-but I knew this was the gig when I took it. You make em, you fall in love and slowly [...]

A casualty of a sugar free economy.

  Well, we made our annual gingerbread house last night. It took 10 minutes to explain how it is not really bread, and another 10 minutes explaining why you can’t eat it.  And this is the first year we were able to get our picture BEFORE it collapsed. And you wanna know why? The answer [...]

An encouraging box of chocolates…

I prefer to think of Godiva Chocolates as really being named Go-Diva Chocolates. Like a little affirmation from a box of taste heaven. And boy was I excited to break into this beauty my husband brought me.I opened the box eagerly awaiting a taste sensation. But jeez-louise Godiva people, was it really necessary to put [...]

AdTalk: I must be using them wrong

By all suspension of logic, the dynamic ad team (you know them as Bob & Mike) decided to go with a BALD woman to advertise a blow dryer for HAIR. The concept was something about how owning a blow dryer is fun even if you were BALD. Huh? Really? I mean- I have had a [...]

Because today I was forwarded a ‘humorous’ email that was a photo of a naked, fat Santa. And no. It was not funny. Disturbing? yes. Funny? NO. NO.

My Santa Fantasy…

  I do not ever recall believing in Santa. I must have at some point…but not at any age I can REMEMEBER. Which is really very strange since I have an uncanny ability to remember oh EVERYTHING about my childhood. But when I think back…I can not remember ever thinking Santa was real. I always [...]
