I’ll Have What She’s Having: Boomers and Cosmetic Surgery
February 28, 2011
Whether you are planning your next round of Botox or are satisfied with your face looking more and more like a road map of Pennsylvania, the statistics are undeniable: Boomers are having cosmetic surgery in record numbers. According to www. cosmeticsurgery.org, “Baby Boomers Keep Cosmetic Procedures on the Rise.” The American Society of Plastic Surgeons […]
Crib Shits
February 25, 2011
First, this week, www.livelaughloveliquor.com has bestowed on me the Stylish Blogger Award, for which I am very grateful. LLLL is a very, very funny lady, whose material is the Universe of Satire. And I wanted to pass along a blog I just started following: www.mylittlespacebook.wordpress.com. I was hooked when I read her page “I Am.” […]
Fat Pets and Fatter Wallets
February 23, 2011
Now Husband Dan decided to ruin my day by sending me an article from the March/April issue of Mother Jones magazine. This article distracted me from my alarm at learning on TV that there is a Fat Pet Epidemic. Half of all US cats and dogs are now considered obese. I immediately asked Miracle the […]
The Steps to Writing Your Life
February 22, 2011
Make a commitment to be honest. This is the most important step of all. Take your defenses and put them somewhere for the time being (maybe in a trunk in the attic.) If you aren’t writing authentically, and you are writing to heal, you won’t be able to heal. If you are writing for posterity […]
Writing A Memoir
February 21, 2011
Most people have one of three reasons to start them thinking about writing a memoir. One is posterity. When we left the communal campfires of our ancestors, we stopped telling the stories that were passed down through countless generations. Nowadays, as we age, it’s natural to want to pass down our experiences to children and […]
The Good, the Bad, and the Inexplicable
February 18, 2011
Whatta week in Blog World. First, THE GOOD: I found out that I was awarded the Style Blogger Award from Barb at http://www.cafetodaymyblog.wordpress.com. This sent me into a tailspin because 1. I don’t win things. 2. Even when I do win things, I’m not aware of it. Wendy at www.writerwoman61.wordpress.com told me she had given […]
Women in Packaging
February 17, 2011
The title of this post doesn’t refer to Angelina Jolie action figures or to or females with all of their body parts squished into Spanx. Women in Packaging, Inc is “an international, nonprofit, professional packaging organization dedicated to the growth and success of packaging professionals.” There. Now you know. In addition to Women in Packaging, […]
We have stuff. Like earrings with a lot of breasts.
February 15, 2011
In my quest to come up with more activities than one human being can possibly engage in without making a dime, I have started making cuff bracelets. Since I have already purchased my new spring wardrobe (The sleeping bra. Remember?), I am now purchasing metal cuffs, ribbons, glue, and vintage buttons and earrings for embellishment. I […]
I did. I didn’t. I do:Boomers and Remarriage
February 14, 2011
Statistics on US divorce rates vary wildly, from under 35% to over 125%, depending on which source you look at and how annoyed you are with your spouse at the moment. But, no matter how you slice it, Baby Boomers are getting divorced at a higher rate than their parents’ generation. One source quotes the […]

Life in the Boomer Lane 
How Much Does A Woman Cost?
March 1, 2011

This past Sunday, Life in the Boomer Lane’s friend Roni and LBL were driving to Baltimore for the annual ACC Craft Show (“Our motto: We have amazing crafts. You can either buy one of them or make your mortgage payment this month.”) Roni was regaling LBL with the latest romp (in the salon, not the bedroom) she had with her […]
