Guess who drove to Cape Cod and back in one day yesterday? Yep, me. M was invited for the week, but we had family stuff this weekend, so I went to fetch her. I decided to make it a mini-vacation, complete with lobster roll and onion rings. . . (For some reason my “More” link … [Read more…]
The girls and I went to see The Giver. We all loved the book. I was especially excited to finally have a new release to see asap with J, because M and I had gone to see The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Catching Fire for their opening nights, but J hadn’t read the books in … [Read more…]
It was an absolutely beautiful day today, so of course M was inspired: she desperately needed to clean out her closet. Oh, man! Really? But this was a task that I’d been nagging about for a long time, and she very politely asked me for help. So I took one for the team and spent … [Read more…]
So what does a girl do when the whole entire family is out of town? Well, I: Watched Cirque Éloize and wrote a review of it. I really enjoyed the show, but it was a little bit tragic because I went All. By. Myself. I had a press pair of tickets, but I got them … [Read more…]
Last week involved some shopping. Oh, come on. Much as I loathe shopping, most weeks include at least some shopping, right? But since I was striking out into uncharted territory, I took some pictures along the way. First, Hannaford has bowed to the massive grocery competition yet again.

I dropped Cute W, M, & J at the airport this morning. They are going to visit Grandma & Grandpa in Kansas City. This is the third time I’ve had a summer vacation-from-the-family. Airplane tickets are expensive, and who are we kidding? For Grandma & Grandpa, it’s really all about the grandkids, anyway. Usually I … [Read more…]
Hey! Deb and I are going to be on Newschannel 13‘s Live at Noon TODAY talking about great Capital District summer traditions happening this weekend. What else is going on? Well, with the combination of her big sister away at camp, her BFF on vacation, and zero camps, J is bored, bored, bored. Twice this … [Read more…]
It’s been a month already since we had our camping weekend at Camp Scully, and somehow I managed to skip actually publishing this post. So here are some pictures. Camp Scully is a day and overnight camp located right in North Greenbush. We didn’t go there for campy-camp, but it was such a lovely little … [Read more…]
We’re due for an update on M’s hair after the Gala Head Shaving Event back in April. Here’s the current status: When M’s hair was first shaved, she literally scared me a couple of times when I’d caught a glimpse of her and briefly thought that there was a young man in my house. … [Read more…]
Yep, aside from my crazy food revelations, I’ve been pretty quiet. We went on vacation, a week spent on the Outer Banks in North Carolina. In the past I’ve tried to gather up guest posts, but this time, since I’ve been posting infrequently anyway, I just let it slide. I’m pleased to announce that we … [Read more…]
