God, I hate shopping. I totally understand why the people on “What Not to Wear” never make much progress on the first day. It’s just too overwhelming. So here’s where I am so far. I have a chocolate brown camisole with a sheer chocolate brown short-sleeved turtleneck top. I am going to wear that with…

Remember that NY Times story from a week or so ago about women at Yale choosing to stay at home? Well, Echidne points to Katha Pollit’s fabulous debunking of the whole thing. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

I’m going shopping with my friend Jeanne tomorrow to buy stuff for reunion weekend. Not only am I going to my reunion, but I’m also recently obsessed with clothing.

That’s supposed to be a relaxing ahh! I’m sitting in bed, propped by my massage chair with a glass of water, the laptop and my iPod. I got my hair cut. I didn’t make it to the fundraiser–sorry, Flo. I ended up leaving work really late, scooping up the kids on the way home and…

That just describes my whole life right now. I’m sick. I am stuck in meetings all day. At least there’s nothing to do once I get home. I hate being in back to back meetings because I get meeting brain. I cannot think at all. I’m thinking in meeting speak. Yuk. I do have something…

Preface: I am still in a funk, have not gotten enough sleep and until just a few minutes ago had a headache. I’ll be heading over to Phantom’s to whine. Anyway, I can’t believe I’ve not run into this blog earlier. It was under the “blogs of note” section in blogger and this post on…

The very trees with hanging heads condole Sweet Summers parting, and of leaues distrest, In dying colours make a grief-full role; So much (alas) to sorrow are they prest.Thus of dead leaues, her farewell carpets made, Their fall, their branches, all their mournings proue, With leaulesse naked bodies, whose hues vade From hopefull greene to…

What might be nice is if I could spend the day lounging around and listening to Rufus. Or better yet, maybe he could come over and play some tunes and we could chat. That would be good. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
