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 […]

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 […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
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. […]

A lot of people, consisting entirely of Only Daughter and Second Son, always ask Life in the Boomer Lane why she doesn’t have a dog. This is because when they were growing up, Then Husband and I always had dogs. The answer is that Now Husband, as fabulous and hot as he is, does not […]
Why I Don't Ride A Bike
July 21, 2010
by Life in the Boomer Lane
The other day, my Now Husband Dan asked, “You don’t ride a bicycle?” This was an interesting question, since we have known each other since December 2002 and have lived together/been married for the last four years. Apparently, his astute powers of observation are limited to things like “Wow! Look at that squirrel in that […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
Every summer, there is a repeating scenario. Life in the Boomer Lane begins to notice that she is avoiding petting Miracle the Cat (even more so than usual), because the slightest touch will release a shower of cat hair all around her and she will be walking around in a perpetual state of cat hair […]

July 19, 2010
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Now Husband had a high school reunion yesterday. He is always having high school reunions, because he went to four high schools. Three were in Europe. One was in Morocco. So, in addition to the four reunions in the actual locations of the schools, there are four US-based reunions each year. This provides him with […]

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. […]
