For me, The Day is The Day After.

It’s Christmas morning. Life in the Boomer Lane’s three children, their two spouses (No, two of her children don’t share a spouse. Her younger son’s girlfriend is with her family in Myrtle Beach, SC) and her grandson and two dogs are at her ex’s house. There, they, like every other person in the world except LBL, […]

I Will Not Be Invisible
December 19, 2010
When Life in he Boomer Lane and her friends decided to write a book about women over 50, LBL asked a lot of women her age what sucked about getting older. She expected to hear the sagging/bagging/dragging thing or maybe the memory thing or maybe even the empty nest thing. She didn’t hear any of that. […]
My Altercation With My Pilates Instructor, two, three, four…
December 17, 2010
It snowed yesterday and the roads were really bad, so Life in the Boomer Lane called the gym this morning to ask if the Pilates class would still be held and was totally bummed that the class was in doubt. LBL wanted to hear that it was cancelled. Awhile later, LBL got a call to […]

Cloudy With A Chance of Children
December 11, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is getting ready for the kids to descend on the house for the holidays (As she writes this, Jorge/George, the normally tree-climbing lawn guy, is dragging the ladder out of the garage so he can string the interior holiday lights.) Technically, they will be celebrating Chanukah, which will have already been over […]

A 100,000 Year History of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Six Months Of Life

For those of you who live someplace other than the bottom of my clothes-to-be-ironed basket, you are aware that the world is always changing. And pregnancy, childbirth and young motherhood have changed along with it. I am aware of this because I have an 18 month old grandson, Jonah. Although he looks remarkably like the […]
