Episode 14: Snowcrastination 2015

Bruce Springsteen Joyride Cycling Studio Kings of Leon Rhodie Lorenz Winter 2015

I'm a whiner, I admit it.  “I do not like the cold, I do not like the hot, I’m too tired, too busy, too bored…”  I’m a downbeat Dr. Seuss.  Last week I went into hibernation and missed all my spin classes.     By day seven I was going crackers.  Years ago I was the Supermom of Snow Days, naively driving the kids around in our beast of a Land Rover.  It may have looked like an ugly white refrigerator but I miss that 4-wheel drive. Now I find myself in a perpetual state of winter dread, surrendered to...

Episode 13: Bag Lady

Huffington Post Netflix New York Times ScoopNYC Tory Burch Warren Zevon

I don't want to sound deluded but I consider myself to be pretty stable (insert snickering here, my friends).  I don't think I'm saddled with too much madness.  There are things, like I insist we go to a restaurant that takes reservations on a Saturday night.  So sue me.  And I hate going to the movies when there are more than 3 people in the theater.  Like the Bionic Woman, my amplified senses hear every soda slurp, burp, and popcorn crunch.  Oh, and the light glowing from the inescapable iPhone blinds me like a lunar landing.  Stop texting, Jackass.  Better yet, I’ll stay...

Episode 11: High Maintenance

Darien Delaware Donna Karan Homeland Hotel DuPont Led Zeppelin Spanx Westport Wilmington

We set out at 10 AM for a wedding in Delaware.  The first of our friends to get married were now hosting the numero uno wedding of our cherished offspring.  It was a big circle of life moment. I’m not a good packer, never have been. I always begin the process impersonating someone carefree and empowered: you can do this easily, Girl, you are a seasoned traveler.  Forget it. My brain blows a fuse every single time, smoke exploding from my hairline.  Hubby can pack in 30 seconds, but he always forgets something.  He once forgot his tuxedo in another state, so there....
