• Belated thanks

  Posted on Tuesday December 1st, 2009 at 22:17 in my family, my sister, my brother, seasonal stuff, how i pay bills

  I meant to write a Thanksgiving post in which I itemize all my blessings and heartfelt thanks. Thing is, I’ve spent this entire year giving thanks, and I needed to edit the list. Nothing like a little unemployment to kick start Thanksgiving in De...

• No, I didn't forget

  Posted on Friday September 11th, 2009 at 14:18 in friends, seasonal stuff

  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...

• The story of Passover: the finale

  Posted on Thursday April 16th, 2009 at 23:07 in my family, my sister, jewish stuff, seasonal stuff

  Passover has passed, but I still need to tell a bit more of the tale. More journaling. My sister Rachel, the anti-blogger, prefers these kinds of entries. She is a good aunt who loves to read stories about her nephews and watch them in action when...

• The Story of Passover: Mishpucha (family)

  Posted on Tuesday April 14th, 2009 at 19:00 in my family, our kids, jewish stuff, seasonal stuff

  This one is going to have to flirt with the journal side of blogging so that I can record our trip and shout out to our family members. If you did not sign up for the Mommy Blog Ramblings, you may want to skip it. Regarding ramblings, I promise tha...

• The Story of Passover: The Exodus

  Posted on Sunday April 12th, 2009 at 18:44 in gay stuff, jewish stuff, seasonal stuff, using my potty mouth

  Home after a road trip to Boston to spend Passover with my sister and her family. I'll be telling the tale much as the Passover story is told at the seder - in parts. This is the story of our journey. The Exodus to Boston.Our travels were thankful...

• Spring at last

  Posted on Sunday April 5th, 2009 at 22:39 in seasonal stuff

  Since when did Turkey in the Straw become the official ice cream truck theme song? Whatever happened to The Entertainer or this other tune that I cannot seem to source online but I will always associate with ice cream on wheels. Anyone? I wonder ...

• The 11th commandment-summer camp

  Posted on Friday April 3rd, 2009 at 23:39 in motherhood, suburbia, jewish stuff, seasonal stuff

  I haven’t been as proactive about booking play dates for Levi as I was with Asher. Levi often tags along to my coffee mornings with other mom friends who have dropped their older children off at school or else we just hang out. He’d enjoy a mus...

• I wore white...SO?

  Posted on Monday March 2nd, 2009 at 20:55 in gay marriage, seasonal stuff, my lady-friend, using my potty mouth

  March 3 - our anniversary. Which anniversary is that, Deborah? You can’t legally get married, so what in tarnation are you on about? Hey. It’s fun to say taaar-nation. Try it. I can’t help but say it with my bastardized, southern accent. ...

• Obligatory inauguration post

  Posted on Tuesday January 20th, 2009 at 23:56 in our kids, seasonal stuff

  What was Potter doing there, and why did everyone keep referring to that “warped, frustrated old man” as Dick Cheney? And if it was, indeed, Dick Cheney and not Mr. Potter, why didn’t anyone push him down the steps of the U.S. Capitol in that ...

• Happy 2009

  Posted on Thursday January 1st, 2009 at 01:13 in our kids, seasonal stuff, promoting people and things

  The perfect snow. Big, meaty flakes collecting on the trees and cars that insulate our peaceful, village road. Cold enough for the snow to stick, but not so cold that your nostrils stick shut when you breathe in. I don’t normally appreciate much...

• Holiday wishes to all

  Posted on Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 at 22:26 in seasonal stuff

  We have been in Chicago for the past 5 days visiting family and friends, and we have entertained the question often as to whether or not we would consider relocating back to Chicago-especially now that Gabriella is job hunting. When the wind chill i...

• Not so hot yoga

  Posted on Wednesday December 17th, 2008 at 12:40 in birth, seasonal stuff, using my potty mouth

  I finally made it to the gym! I’m giving myself extra-credit for going in the evening, after a long day and just as the icy snow started to fall and mess up the streets. It’s much more difficult to get it together and go when I had no intention...

• Thanksgiving '08

  Posted on Saturday November 29th, 2008 at 21:49 in food and drink, my family, my sister, seasonal stuff

  I can’t let the weekend go by without talking about Thanksgiving now, can I? It wouldn’t be right. As much as I like to avoid writing about the obvious, I can’t deny things like holidays, birthdays, elections, etc. This is an important holid...

• Asher is 5

  Posted on Sunday November 23rd, 2008 at 22:34 in suburbia, our kids, seasonal stuff

  I know it has been a long day when I start tearing at a pet adoption commercial. It wasn’t even one of those abused-dog-in-cardboard box-outside-in rain kind of commercials. There was a woman trying to bond with her newly adopted dog by playing c...
