Michelle Obama subjected herself to The View this week. Apparently the show is painful to watch. Has Michelle been on Ellen DeGeneres’s show yet? I’d imagine that would be slightly less horrible for her in that she wouldn’t have to talk about pantyhose. (Have you ever seen Ellen in anything but pants?) That picture of [...]

It seems we’ve seen the last of Angelina Jolie pregnant in 2008. I don’t blame her for setting in with the kids for the summer while she awaits the birth of two more children. It’s funny ‘cos in her younger incarnation Angelina Jolie was such a sex symbol to both men and women and wouldn’t [...]

  …was excellent. I got Godiva chocolates from eldest son, roses and a romantic card from spouse, and from younger son a very funny card and various candles of many scents. All of us went out for dinner together–a rare occurrence and then the best part–what I’m calling”dessert,” we saw Iron Man. We all dug [...]

This is the one is in the front yard. It’s a beautiful tree in front of an unsightly background of 1. parking lot w/cars and 2. red brick building, approximately of the same shade of red as the leaves on the tree. Love the tree though. When we move away however, spouse is likely to [...]

Flowering Rhododendron bush in front of our house~ Surprises always “excite” me (I hate surprises–always have) and there’s been an abundance of them of late. Never knowing exactly what to expect of the coming day. Every day is a surprise–some are good–some not so good. This morning, for instance, I was working here on the [...]

I’m having mother fears in re: my 15-y.o. son and the route we’ve embarked on for the treatment of acute acne on his face and torso. There is now “permanent scarring” on his back and shoulders according to the dermatologist, and he is to be taken in for a blood test to check that his [...]

I take the care and “feeding” of my hair very seriously. This isn’t a matter of having bad or even average hair or that I have to do a lot with it to make it presentable. No, in this one area I can say that I have a good head of thick, slightly wavy-with-good body [...]

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich glided to victories in their House races yesterday, despite some tense moments earlier this year when it looked like the two long-shot presidential candidates would lose their seats to primary challengers.In Ohio, Democrat Kucinich topped his main primary opponent, Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman, who similarly defined Kucinich as [...]

One of the many hats I wear is professional heart patient. I’m a pro because I’ve been doing it for a decade. When the heart failure first struck because we didn’t know how I would fare until at least a year in and I was very anxious and at times depressed with great trouble sleeping. [...]

Awesomeness! We are having a snowfall unlike one I’ve seen in years, if ever. The snowflakes are huge! They are literally like fluffy cotton balls. Many of them are sticking together, causing them to appear even larger. I went outside and looked up and it was the most incredible sight. When I extended my arms, [...]

Lindsay Lohan posed nude as Marilyn Monroe in the spring fashion issue of New York Magazine. Do you think recreating Monroe’s last photo shoot before her 1962 death was a good career move for Lindsay? Lindsay recently paired up with photographer Bert Stein to recreate his legendary 1962 nude shoot with Marilyn Monroe. The photos [...]

People have worn make up for thousands of years but even with all that “experience” when one is attempting to learn to correctly apply makeup to her own face the results can be less than satisfying. Also, certain styles of make-up come and go–and the newer techniques even if you long ago learned “how” to [...]
