This Cricket was No Jiminy
November 8, 2010
Life in the Boomer Lane is not afraid of insects. Unless they want to crawl into her nose or ears. And they always do. Last night was a typical example. Visualize this: LBL is reading in bed. Now Husband is sleeping. It’s peaceful, serene. LBL is loving her book (To the End of the Land, David Grossman). […]
My Life in Checkout Lines

I can tell it’s the beginning of the holiday season. It’s not because I have seemingly overnight developed an irrational need to gain five lbs and set off my IBS.

Who Was That Creepy Guy Giving Out Candy?
November 1, 2010
My Now Husband is sort of new to this Halloween thing, as well as to the Kid Thing in general. Last year, NH wore a scary mask that brought all the little kids to tears. This year, NH went to the door as himself (Only one child cried) and tried really hard to say bright, pleasant things to […]
Why I'll be at The Rally to Restore Sanity
October 27, 2010
I’m not a lifelong Liberal. I’ve always been fortunate/cursed to see both sides to any issue. Because of that, I often feel paralyzed about making a voting decision.
