Pomp and Circumstance
I just received word that May 25, 2012 is going to be a special day for our family. That is the day my older son graduates from law school. When Craig was growing up, I had a feeling he would either become an attorney or a college professor. He’s always had a mature and insatiable ...
The box
This morning a delivery from Williams-Sonoma appeared on my doorstep. Boxes delivered to my house are not uncommon because I’ve long been a fan of late-night online shopping. However, for once, I had not been shopping, nor did I order anything from Williams-Sonoma. For some reason, I did not open the box but e-mailed my ...
Johnny and Me
It appears that very soon, I’ll be getting a new neighbor in my little town. Aside from the obvious and unfortunate repercussions this will have on my ongoing health and fitness plans, this is very good news. I applaud the entrepreneurial spirit, love supporting local business, and will certainly find a way to support our ...
Batman & Julie
This past Friday, I sadly realized that I am, in fact, a sissy girl. Over the years, I have bragged on numerous occasions about what a tough girl I am. I performed CPR on a physician who died while examining a patient in his office many years ago. That should earn me some big girl ...
“I just can’t quit you!”
Today is National Coffee Day! Surely this “holiday” was invented by Starbucks! I imagine Hallmark gave them the idea because it seems to have worked well for the King of Greeting Cards & Sentimentality to invent new holidays for the sake of increasing sales. Nothing smarter than having a holiday which celebrates your product! I’ve ...
Sponge Bob, kids, and me!
Shocking news in the not-so-wonderful world of animation! Apparently a study was recently conducted which resulted in the accusation that Sponge Bob Square Pants has been contributing to the emotional and behavioral demise of our youth. Not inadequate parenting! Not an addiction to Mountain Dew and other high sucrose-laden evils in the liquid crack industry. ...
Rainy days and fashion week
This week is Fashion Week in NYC which is unfortunate because it coincides with the 100th day in a row that we’ve had rain. OK, maybe that’s a small exaggeration but it sure feels that way. It’s hard to get excited about fashion when you can’t seem to pry yourself out of your extreme weather ...
Crabby Julie
Years ago as an icebreaker during a women’s conference workshop, I asked everyone to turn to a partner and make a list of everything they had in common with that other person. They were given 3 minutes and then I proceeded to walk around the room and have some of the partner groups share. As ...
“And the earth moved.”
The past week has been quite busy for the state of Maryland. Last week, our area felt the effects of a 5.8 earthquake. Over the weekend, we experienced a close (albeit rainy) brush with Hurricane Irene. I’m here to say that I am probably the only person in the area who did not feel the ...
Good night Irene!
This weekend, hurricane Irene is predicted to make her appearance in Maryland where I live. She has already been wreaking havoc on the entire east coast and appears to be savoring the attention. Typical drama queen! It stands to reason that we would have a hurricane this weekend because Dan and I were planning to ...
