Lee is hitting a major birthday this year. And I get to plan his party. Yup a surprise party that at some point he told me he doesn’t want. But here’s the thing Lee doesn’t realize…..eight people have called, asked or written and asked, “When is Lee’s party?” You see no one would even think […]
Saturday, January 19th, 2013When Organizing Isn’t Innate
I love things organized. But the truth is that I know very little about organizing. When I was a kid, I think people had a lot less stuff than they do now. I never learned how to organize my stuff, even though I am sure my mother reminded me to put stuff away. Maybe I […]

Great style for work or a party!
Wednesday, January 16th, 2013Home Refinanced Complete
Lee and I applied for our home refinancing in September. It was completed this week. Is it worth it to refinance – ABSOLUTELY because interest rates are so low and the difference in the mortgage is huge. So if you haven’t refinanced your mortgage – head to the bank and ask them to run the […]
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013I Support People’s Rights to Own Weapons
Yes I wrote that title. And I stand by it. Even in the wake of Sandy Hook, I don’t believe that a full ban on weapons is a solution. The problem in Sandy Hook was caused by an individual with mental illness who had access to very powerful guns. We have a constitutional right to […]

Monday, January 7th, 2013Dreams & Realizations
A few friends came over for lunch today. I had been watching the DIY Network and one of my favorite television shows, “House Crashers.” It’s a home fix-it show where Josh Temple, a contractor walks up to an individual at Lowes and offers to go to their house and do a three day makeover on […]
Saturday, January 5th, 2013When did Calling Others People ‘Gay’ Become an Obsession?
When did calling someone gay become such an obsession? I don’t get it. When I was a young kid, I don’t remember calling anyone gay or queer as one of the rank out that kids did to one another. We called kids ugly and told them their clothes were out of style, but people […]
Thursday, January 3rd, 2013DEP Sent Us a Nasty Letter
I came home from a great day at school to a nasty letter from the DEP. I’ll scan the letter soon and share it here. The letter states that our water meter is broken and we haven’t called to arrange an appointment to have it fixed so we are going to be charged a lot […]
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013New Year – New Hope
New Year’s Eve was so much fun around here. Today when I woke up my cheeks hurt from laughing so much. New Years Day was so productive – I got so much done. If today is any indicator for the New Year – it’s going to be a great year. I am so thankful to […]
Sunday, December 30th, 2012Winter Vacation is the Best!
During Winter Break, we headed out to Montauk for a few days of rest and relaxation (plus shopping and eating out). It was a much needed vacation and the weather in Long Island was amazing this weekend. We went to the Big Duck which was closed, but someone who works there happen to be passing […]
Saturday, December 29th, 2012Holidays After Someone Dies
For the past couple of years, I have felt deep sadness during the holidays. And if you know me and you are thinking, “No you haven’t – you are always happy.” You are right too. I love all holidays and I don’t want to make anyone sad so I keep very busy and try not […]
