I love makeup. Specifically, I love Bare Escentuals makeup because it gives me a flawless face with natural coverage. And don’t get me started on the glosses (my fave is a Buxom called “Dani” ~ a purply pink)… Moving on, ’cause this isn’t a post about Bare Escentuals, but if you’ve never given it a…
Day 12: Something I’m OCD About
Ha! This is an easy one. I’m hyper~organized. I used to be in the Army and one of the first things they drilled into my head was organization ~ socks, tees, undies, they all had to be folded/rolled up so they were the same length as a dollar bill. I remember taping my things to…
Do You Have “Couple Friends”?
Do you remember that episode of “King of Queens” when Carrie and Doug lose Deacon and Kelly to another couple who has kids so they spend the entire episode trying to find a replacement couple? Well, Tony and I have been trying to find that couple for years now. Ok, maybe I haven’t been actively…

From Stepmother to Friend, It Can Happen
This afternoon as I was driving to work, I started scanning the radio for something to listen to. Usually I listen to the oldies station (nothing like singing to the top of your lungs to Diana Ross and the Supremes) or I listen to talk radio (that means Rush Limbaugh because he’s the only voice…
Day 7: A Photo That Makes Me Happy
I love this picture of my family, it was taken about eleven years ago. Every time I see this picture, I smile when I see the way my children used to be: so full of hope and promise. Now I see them as young adults and I’ve been blessed to see the fulfillment of everything…
Raunchy Diesel Ad Too Hot for the Brooklyn Law School Library
Um, wow! It takes a lot to make me blush but I have to say, the risqué photographs taken by Diesel in the Brooklyn Law School library are enough to make even this librarian’s bun get tight. The Brooklyn Law School library is reportedly upset about the pictures and the interim dean has sent an…
