I’ve Become A Cliche
October 20, 2010
by Life in the Boomer Lane
I was sitting at my computer yesterday morning, minding my own business and looking like I do every morning: skimpy tee shirt with no bra (I am, shall we say, well-endowed and I should actually be sleeping in a bra), ratty pajama bottoms, electrified-looking hair. My Now Husband Dan had left to fondle his boat. […]
Exiled to Nicheville
October 18, 2010
by Life in the Boomer Lane
I’m a bit concerned about my children (three) and my grandchildren (one arrived 16 months ago, the others mere thoughts as of this post). I am aware that, depending on which standard is used, my children are either Gen Xers or Gen Yers. Or both. This in itself is a problem. If my children are Gen […]
You're Probably A Feminist. You Just Don't Know It.
October 15, 2010

Contrary to what many believe, feminism didn’t begin at the Miss America Pagent of 1968 when a group of women burned their bras. Over 500 years before the scent of smoking undergarments, women were writing and speaking on behalf of their rights. The modern suffragist movement began in the eighteenth century in France. In 1920, […]

A Haunted House. And A Ghost Wearing Combat Boots.

In honor of Halloween, I’ll now tell the ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY of how I lived in a HAUNTED HOUSE. Don’t worry. This ghost/spirit/whatever was friendly and wasn’t accompanied by the usual creepy music. But first, have you ever wondered why, in scary movies, the hero/heroine always opens the exact door that he/she knows contains the […]
Naked People All Over My House
October 13, 2010
by Life in the Boomer Lane
A friend came over the other day and asked me why I had naked people all over my house. Because I am unusually observant about my surroundings, I answered “Huh?” and the friend said, “Look around. You have a naked people in every room.” I checked the bedroom and the bathroom, but my husband Dan […]
An Uncommon Cold
October 12, 2010
by Life in the Boomer Lane
I have a cold/virus/bacterial infection/whatever. No biggie. It’s not like I’m sick a lot. The last illness was about five lbs ago.
