Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Feeling inspired by the past
I had the pleasure of going to lunch today with two women who I taught 15 years ago. Both had gone to college and chosen a career, but then decided to return to school to become teachers. They sent me an e-mail and asked me if I would meet them for lunch. I thought they […]
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Sweet Day
I got Pottery Barn sheers in the mail today. I have drapes, but wanted to put up sheers to emulate this look by Pottery Barn. I steamed the sheets and started putting them up. Lee’s aunt was telling me to fluff them at the top. I was standing on a small kitchen ladder barefoot […]

Monday, August 16th, 2010Mosque at Ground Zero
I lost a dear friend on 9/11 when the terrorists took down the WTC so I really had to think about this controversy. It’s annoying to see politicians using the mosque as a platform to gain votes. I try to imagine how the situation might be if it was a group of Christian extremists who killed […]

Monday, August 2nd, 2010Pottery Barn Coupon
Woohooo finally a Pottery Barn coupon – they are rare! I noticed that both the new Pottery Barn catalog and the West Elm catalog both contained a coupon inside for 10% off the total purchase. Be on the lookout for the 10% coupons because they easily fall out of the catalog. A 10% off coupon […]
Monday, August 2nd, 2010How to remove negative reviews on CitySearch
I recently wrote a Citysearch review and how the negative review was removed from a Brooklyn business. That was followed of days of my mailbox being flooded by business owners asking me how to remove a listing. I understand that a company may need to remove a listing from a jealous competitor. You can easily […]
Sunday, August 1st, 2010Build It Green NYC
We took a ride to Astoria to see Build It Green NYC. If you are a new homeowner or you are remodeling, you have to check this place out to purchase recycled building materials. They had beautiful solid wood doors. They also had recycled furniture, flooring, moldings, baseboards, cabinets, old stoves, appliances, sinks, lighting and […]
