10 Things I learned From My High School Friends
September 20, 2010
My high school buddies, Susan, Phyllis, and Judy, came to visit this past weekend. These are the ten things I learned from their visit: 10. Guests who arrive carrying their own two-litre bottles of Cherry Diet Coke may not be emotionally prepared to eat wholesome, organic food for the weekend 9. Anthony’s Pizza in Falls […]
A Trip to the Farmers Market
September 19, 2010
I have three high school friends (Susan, Judy, Phyllis) driving down from Philly to visit me this weekend. In honor of the occasion, I decided to make a trip to the local farmers market, to bask in the whole touchy-feeliness of all that fresh, organic produce and homemade baked goods. That way, my friends could avail […]
Why I Like Being A Boomer
September 17, 2010
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who is two years older than me. At some point in the conversation, she said “I know that technically I’m not a Boomer, having been born one year before the era of Boomerdom began. But I still consider myself one.” I understand this. […]
Wretched Technology Update
September 13, 2010
Well, here we are, happily sailing through the 21st century and I am still doing battle with post-Industrial Revolution technology. I wrote a post about this in reference to my husband going out of town and leaving me at the mercy of three remotes and other assorted bits and pieces of technology, all waiting for […]
Paving the Highway With My Life
September 9, 2010
When Life in the Boomer Lane wrote the post about Miracle the Cat (“Cats Flying off the Roof of My Car”), LBL was reminded that LBL has a long history of things in general flying off the roof of her car. For the five people who have already read LBL’s post about Miracle, you are probably now […]
When Good Technology Happens to Inept People
September 2, 2010
LBL’s Now Husband is in Greece and Turkey for a month. Family in Turkey, good friends on Rhodes in Greece. Since NH is, among other things, LBL’s Go To Guy for technology, LBL was a bit apprehensive at the thought of his being gone for so long. LBL knows her track record, and it isn’t pretty. LBL fully prepared […]
What’s in your trunk?
September 1, 2010
There was a short segment on NPR the other day, in which people were asked, “What’s in your trunk?” Of course, some of the answers were very funny. But as Life in the Boomer Lane was listening, she realized that she had no idea what was in her trunk. LBL only knew that being married […]

There’s Nothing Funny About Carpeting
August 31, 2010
LBL’s real estate manager suggested yesterday that LBL should write about the wall-to-wall carpeting currently being installed in the office. Wall-to-wall carpeting? Instead, how about LBL writing about flossing? Or socks? Or grocery coupons? Any of those topics would be more compelling than wall-to-wall carpeting. To make matters worse, the carpeting isn’t all that attractive, so LBL […]

The Saga of the Little Pink Panties
September 22, 2010

My nail lady, Tammy, who is now approaching 50, has finally officially entered the Universe of Perpetually Creative Brain Cells. Several months ago, Tammy’s husband was cleaning their house and, in the guest bedroom, he came across a pair of lacy bikini panties under the bed. They were pink, with little red hearts on them. […]
