The Girl Who Strayed With Buyers

August 2, 2010 by

If you’ve been in the real estate business as long as I have, you’ve probably accumulated a lot of fun experiences that, in retrospect, could have been used successfully in POW camps. I’ve locked myself out of houses, and once, another agent and I had to climb in through a high window to get in. […]

Why I Want to Live in the Sundance Catalog

July 29, 2010 by

Life in the Boomer Lane’s Sundance catalog arrived today.  She is always so excited to see it, and it’s not because she wants to buy everything in it.  It’s because she wants to live in the catalog.  There are some really good reasons for this and even better reasons why this wouldn’t be such a […]

No returns. No exchanges. No dressing rooms.

Life in the Boomer Lane and her friend Susan, in a never-ending quest for adventure totally beneath the maturity level that they should aspire to, found a new, humongous “store” to go to in the DC area. This store is called “Unique,” and they name is apt. The store is housed in the airplane-hanger-like space […]

Looking A Gift Card in the Mouth

Life in the Boomer Lane had lunch with a friend the other day, and, at the end of the meal, her friend pulled out her wallet. It was very small and compact and looked exactly like that used by LBL. LBL applauded her for not carrying around the usual behemoth wallet that most women did. […]

Just Beat Me With A Banana

Stop the presses.  Ok, what Life n the Boomer Lane mean is if there were presses, she would stop them.  She’s on a rant.  CNN just came out with a story titled “Study: Body Shape Affects Memory in Older Women/Memory Loss More Pronounced in Women Who Carry Excess Weight Around Their Hips, A Study Says.” […]

Twice a week, Life in the Boomer Lane takes a Pilates Reformer class at her gym.  The “Reformer” is a big, lightly padded board on wheels, with levers, pulleys, weights, and other components, all employed without the benefit of a user’s manual.  It was either invented by Mr Pilates, the same person who invented people […]

Time Travel Without Frequent Flyer Miles

On Tuesday night, there was an installment of a special series called “Through the Wormhole” on the Science Channel, hosted by Morgan Freeman, which is the only reason Life in the Boomer Lane watched it. She doesn’t like Science. Worse, science doesn’t like her, and is constantly foiling her attempts to do things like live […]

My GPS Has A Different Accent Than Yours

Life in the Boomer Lane has a GPS in her car.  She got it because there is no GPS in her head.  There is not even a G.  There is nothing in whatever spot is supposed to hold some sense of direction.  She would like to think that space is taken up by impeccable taste.  […]

Life in the Boomer Lane spent one memorable Thanksgiving in London with Beloved Daughter and her family. Her younger son/youngest child and Her Always Baby and his girlfriend joined them.  Her Always Baby and his girlfriend had been together over a year, but this was her first experience traveling with LBL’s family.  For part of their stay, they […]

Grandma Does London

Life in the Boomer Lane is in London to celebrate the first birthday of First Grandchild.  Like any besotted grandmother, she believes her grandchild walks on water (or he would, if he walked).  On her last trip to London, she tried to smuggle him through Customs between France and the UK.  She has decided not […]
