Not your typical gay, Jewish mom-in-the-suburbs blog. I aim to entertain even if that means the joke is on me. And sometimes I make people blush a little.

No, I didn't forget
I’m thinking I might have offended by posting an innocuous entry about Whoopi Goldberg and other celebrity sightings on this day, September 11. I do apologise to anyone who might have thought me cold, unfeeling or selfish. It wouldn’t be the fi...
Married! again.
Yup, we’ve traded in our snow globe collection for commitment ceremonies. Well, I might keep that really fancy snow globe of Chicago as the city is, in fact, my kind of town, and the snow globe was a gift. Our anthology of monogamous declarations...
Blogs soothe and relieve
About a year ago, I recognized my need to write. While I had occasionally shared tales of our life abroad and a few observations about our repatriation, I had not committed to writing on a regular basis until last summer. Even at that time, I had n...
Book club gone wild
Sunday, I returned home from a retreat with my book club ladies at about 1PM. One of our members was kind enough to offer her weekend house in the Catskills and host a getaway. Our monthly meetings of literary critique and philosophical debates are...
Solicited roast
I dedicate this entry to MARK L. who leaned over to me at a dinner party inebriated but earnest and asked, nay begged me to write about him in a blog. “I try not to refer to anyone by name, Mark, because I don’t want my friends to think that eve...

My husband went to London, and all I got was...
I met my friend Ellen in London, and we hit it off immediately. Unsurprising, I guess. We’re both American, Jewish, mothers and, it turned out, we went to the same high school-different years. What are the odds? Somehow, we both ended up in Mus...
Our friends the DRAMA BOTTOMS
It’s been a subject of conversation on a number of occasions. Are some people born unlucky? Of course not, right? That would be to say that black clouds follow designated people and rain on them constantly. I can’t subscribe to that notion. ...
Breaking up is hard to do
I envy the life of a working parent occasionally. When Gabriella did have a job, she would leave the house and get a grown-up cup of coffee and talk to grown-ups about grown-up things on the train and then spend the day at work with other grown-ups ...
It's all good
I’d like to personally thank Gabriella’s company for laying her off. She still has some papers to sign-something about promising not to litigate, blah blah blah, so I think it’s best if I don’t refer to the company by its actual name. Goin...
