December 30, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
When my ex and I split almost 20 years ago, the only items of real value to me that I wanted to take were the photos, the children’s memorabilia, my own memorabilia, and my artwork. Along the way, some of these items disappeared. Others were forgotten. A couple months ago, my ex and his wife […]
A 100,000 Year History of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Six Months Of Life
December 27, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
For those of you who live someplace other than the bottom of my clothes-to-be-ironed basket, you are aware that the world is always changing. And pregnancy, childbirth and young motherhood have changed along with it. I am aware of this because I have an 18 month old grandson, Jonah. Although he looks remarkably like the […]
For me, The Day is The Day After.
December 25, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It’s Christmas morning. Life in the Boomer Lane’s three children, their two spouses (No, two of her children don’t share a spouse. Her younger son’s girlfriend is with her family in Myrtle Beach, SC) and her grandson and two dogs are at her ex’s house. There, they, like every other person in the world except LBL, […]
My Altercation With My Pilates Instructor, two, three, four…
December 17, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It snowed yesterday and the roads were really bad, so Life in the Boomer Lane called the gym this morning to ask if the Pilates class would still be held and was totally bummed that the class was in doubt. LBL wanted to hear that it was cancelled. Awhile later, LBL got a call to […]
I’ve Got Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Pill Bottle
December 13, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
A couple days ago, while going about the always fascinating business of my life, I was overcome with an astonishing sense of well-being. It was as though zen-infused Karo Syrup was oozing throughout my veins. I believed, as I walked along the aisle of Target that I had found the true meaning of life […]

Cloudy With A Chance of Children
December 11, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
Life in the Boomer Lane is getting ready for the kids to descend on the house for the holidays (As she writes this, Jorge/George, the normally tree-climbing lawn guy, is dragging the ladder out of the garage so he can string the interior holiday lights.) Technically, they will be celebrating Chanukah, which will have already been over […]
Jobs I Have Known
December 10, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
My December 7 post (“Working Hard at Not Making Money”) reminded me of all the jobs I’ve had over the years: Summer camp counselor assistant-My first job and the only one I was ever fired from. This wasn’t a good start to my future employment. For a large sum of unmarked bills sent to […]
Being Chanukah in a Christmas World
December 8, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
When I was little, I wanted Christmas. I didn’t care that Chanukah was eight days long, since I only got one present. People never talked about Chanukah. Everything out there in the world was Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. The stores were all filled with trees and lights, Santas were on every corner ringing bells, my elementary […]

My "2010 Year in Blogging"
January 5, 2011 by Life in the Boomer Lane
36
I created my blog in April 2010 and wrote my first post in May. For awhile, I didn’t get much of a response, and when I did, I usually didn’t comment (I think I thought writers shouldn’t fraternize with readers.). In June, I started to get a couple comments. I responded. Walker (delicacies.wordpress.com) and […]
