The Birthday Gathering
This week, Life in the Boomer Lane attended a birthday lunch held at the home of a close friend. Four other friends attended, all smart, accomplished women. The women gathered first in the living room, where appetizers and champagne were provided. Everyone toasted the Birthday Girl, then sat down to eat the appetizers. Shortly after […]
Why the Wrong Shoes Are Doing You Damage
October 14, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane loves shoes. Most of the shoes she loves have heels that are too high, too spindly, too ridiculous-looking for a woman her age. Hence, the search for fabulous shoes that have high heels, but are still comfortable, supportive, edgy, and make others swoon, “Where did you get those?” LBL could […]
Women in Cars
July 15, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane has always wished that she could secretly video any number of times that she has been in cars with groups of women. These video-worthy events are usually precipitated by being lost, concern about potentially getting lost, inability to find where one’s car is parked, confusion about how to exit parking […]
A Shopping Trip
May 9, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane has a close friend who is a brilliant, highly accomplished visionary. Listening to her is both mesmerizing and inspiring. This weekend, she took a break from her international and political work in order to accompany LBL on a trip to a popular antiques/home accessories store. The shopping trip went something […]
This New Orange Era: The Day After
January 23, 2017
There’s a novel I read, One Second After, about a high energy EMP (electro magnetic pulse) missile fired above the US by a country with which we were at war. EMPs kill no one directly. Instead, they cause all electronic activity to cease. In other words, computers stop computing, cars stop moving, cells stop working, and what […]
The Disturning Truth About How We Treat Our Pubic Hair
March 30, 2016
In this mostly (except for one hysterically non-correct presidential wannabe) politically correct world, abuse of any kind is considered unacceptable. An alert (and most likely having nothing better to do) reader has sent Life in the Boomer Lane an article about the latest form of abuse: pubic hair. Or, more specifically, how women injure […]
The Well-Dressed Closet
March 3, 2016
Life in the Boomer Lane was standing at her curb, yesterday, depositing a carton into the recycling bin, before the recycling truck was ro arrive. A woman was walking by with her dog. She stopped in front of LBL and complimented her on her cute little workout top (Forever 21, really cheap). LBL thanked […]
Be A Better Mom. Go to Work.
May 20, 2015
Mommy Wars began officially during the 16th century BC, when Ahhotep 1 ruled Egypt as regent after the death of her father. Ahhotep was instrumental in driving the Hyskos invaders out of Egypt. Many Egyptians, when surveyed, expressed a belief that, although Ahhotep certainly provided a service to her country, her two sons would have […]
The 24-Hour Boob Job
May 12, 2015
Life in the Boomer Lane was in the process of tweaking her latest post about the Hubble discovery of phantom objects lurking around dead quasars, when she happened to glance at the following headline, compliments of Newsweek: The 24-Hour Boob Job. If you are a loyal reader who actually cares about dead quasars and […]
