I do a 1-10 rating in my Book Journal, so I probably could add some stars. Good idea. I gave this one an 8.
Love You, Mean It
I know...I haven't even written much about my trip to Florida. But since I finished this book on the plane TO Florida, I feel compelled to write about it first. I've had Love You, Mean It: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Friendship by Patricia Carrington, Julia Collins, Claudia Gerbasi and A...
I have the house AND the land...on which I do nothing but have someone mow. I got two acres and an upstairs apartment I could rent to you...when are you moving??? :)
How Summer Used To Be, And Is Now
"Geez," my sister said. "The only thing I remember from our summers was gardening, yard work and horseback riding. Hours and hours of it." We were e-mailing, trying to arrange a time for her and her husband to come up to see us in Maryland from their home in Georgia, which is where I grew up. My...
You mean you dont miss the oppressive heat and humidity. When I was there I went out on my friends back patio to have coffee and absorb some vitamin D. Within 5 minutes I was miserable...and this was at 8 a.m.!
Arroz con Pollo...preparing to travel
Tomorrow I leave for Boca for a few days. The main purpose is to go to the kick-off for my friend Debbie's new non-profit foundation to help kids transitioning out of foster care, Best Foot Forward. Debbie is one of the most amazing people I know...but that is for another blog. The other purpo...
Pepper is treated better and given more than my kids! Shes a pretty lucky dog. And the reason for the name Pepper? Their last name is Mintz. Pepper Mintz.
Love Rollercoaster!
Extra kudos if you can name the band that had that hit in 1991. Usually if I title a post something with rollercoaster in it, I am either ranting about my: abject hatred of theme parks; or depression. I'm in Boca with my friend Stacy. There is no plan to go to a theme park and no reason to be...
I am fortunate that I started buying Apple when it was in the $90s, so that has been very kind to us. Plus Im such a Mac-o-phile that I feel like its the right thing to invest in.
Its fun to invest in things you believe in and have it pan out.
It's MY Fantasy!
Wow!!! Only 1 day and I'm up $52 in my Fantasy Stock Portfolio! Meanwhile, I exercised my prerogative as the creator of the fantasy and decided to add $10,000 fantasy cash to my account so that I could buy stuff that comes up along the way. Amy, my BFF from college if you are a newcomer, upon re...
OK...well get our researchers on that. Did they have pizza rolls?
Actually, I think Dominos would be a good buy right now they are redefining themselves with their new recipe and media presence. And the new recipe is actually quite good! Darn...I wish I had put some caveat in there where readers could contribute Fantasy Cash to be invested in my fund!
Fantasy Stocks
I know this is two in one day. I want to stress that this is an anomaly. I don't want to build the expectation that I will blog daily, let alone twice a day. Because then I will think that you are judging me when I don't post every day. I judge myself pretty critically, so I don't want to assume...

Believe it or not, I havent even hit menopause yet. They tested and I dont even show signs of pre-menopause. I had a hysterectomy, but still have my ovaries.
I have to change doctors because were changing insurance, so I will definitely ask again. Im up for anything that takes this monkey off my back. Thanks for thinking of me.

I'm back?
I'm thinking about resurrecting my blog and revamping it into a blog about living with depression. Here is a post from two years ago when I was a guest of the Neurosciences unit at UNC Chapel Hill. What an incredible experience that was...living with people who were living with all kinds of menta...
Yikes! Eau de faux pas!!! Yes...I know that makes no sense, but it sounds cool!
Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
Since other obligations like writing my Triangle Mom2Mom blog, earning the occasional dollars for my work and sometimes acting like a wife and mom impede my blogularity (that's regular blogging...cute, huh), I've decided to post the occasional rerun. Since my husband and I recently saw (and lov...
Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
What other book involves boning a duck, excessive vodka gimlets, The Joy of Sex, more aspic than most humans consume in a lifetime, the preparation and consumption of every possible internal organ of various mammals, marital discord, parental disapproval, mice fed to live snakes and disgusting plumbing disasters? I know, you can hardly wait to go out and buy this one! Julie makes it fun, makes you take the plunge with her, brings you to the brink of culinary disaster and makes you almost taste every bite. From the moment her first aspic fails to gel to the first one-handed crepe flip, Julie has you rooting for her success, encouraging her to soldier on and biting your nails that she might not make it. Continue reading
