Don\’t Know What to Make of This

New Year’s Resolution

December 29, 2007

I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions.  But if I did, this is what I would resolve to do in 2008: Ensure my nanny doesn’t take her vacation after I’m already back from mine.  This would guarantee that my valuable Saturday night caloric intake, which is usually spent on a restaurant with at least a quarter [...]

Old people are “cool”

December 26, 2007

For me, there was nothing worse than my middle school years.  The years where I was as tall as I am now (5’8″), skinny as I am now (not publishing weight here), but with worse skin and less friends, I choose to banish the middle school to the recesses of my brain with camp memories (I [...]

You know it’s office holiday party season when…

December 13, 2007

Santa looks like he threw up in your office lobby… ‘Tis the season to be tacky. Your coworkers bring flat irons to work so they can do their hair… On the fourth night of Christmas my true love gave to me a flat iron instead of a Japanese perm. And leave clumps of makeup on [...]

To the Mary Kay representative who propositioned me at Starbucks yesterday

December 4, 2007

Once someone says: “I’m a working mom of a young son and I’m having a hard-time balancing my current PART-TIME job” it’s fairly certain that she’s not looking to switch careers. Talking really close means I have a better view of the 20 layers of mascara you’re wearing. Telling someone who works in PR that [...]

Lookalike of the week

November 3, 2007

Separated at birth? The real string cheese incident. Really, it’s not so appetizing when your toddler screams “cheeeeesse” every time you go to the bathroom.

This is why I’m staying just like I am…

November 1, 2007

Because according to Lisa Belkin’s article in today’s New York Times, no matter what we women do in the workplace, we can’t win! There have apparently been umpteen studies by really smart scholars and consultants, and and yet, no one can give concrete on why biases against women still exist in today’s workforce.  Why women are grossly [...]

My big yellow taxi

October 18, 2007

It’s been about a week since I wrote this.  That’s like 3 months in blog years.  And I’ve been casually silent since.  But when my dad asked me today (yes, he reads my blog), “what was that post you wrote about last week?” I realized that it’s not fair to drag you all along on the journey of my [...]

Hug or Hump?

October 4, 2007

One of my favorite blogs is by the wacky (and I mean that very fondly) Jessica of Oh The Joys.   I don’t always understand what she writes (Highra Dohba??) but she makes me laugh, and oh, I could use a good laugh these days.  So when I came across this post not only was I LMAO, [...]

There’s a new sheriff in town, or, I’m having a bloggy breakdown

September 17, 2007

I used to think I was cool when I had nonstop conference calls.  I used to relish in meeting after meeting. I used to dramatize every late night, every busines trip, every important person I met on the job.  LOOK HOW IMPORTANT I AM I would exude to the world. Even I couldn’t keep up with [...]

I’ll never forget

September 11, 2007

This article in USA Today inspired me to do what I have not done for six years.  Articulate and write down my memories of that fateful day so that I never forget how I felt or what I saw.  Not for sympathy, not for sensationalism, but because I subscribe to the theory that “those who cannot [...]
