Winning Lizzie
A few days ago, I asked for your interpretive suggestions for my cryptic note, “Lizzie Borden Mugshot”. You certainly had some creative ideas – none of which reminded me of what I meant when I wrote those words. It appears I have permanent Lizzie amnesia. However, you did prove to me that you all know …
Kissing Frogs
My husband is a sweet eccentric. From reading my blog, you would certainly see the eccentric side – because it’s so much fun to write about. But he’s also quirky enough that some folks have asked me why in the world I was drawn to him in the first place. (as opposed to running for …
Searching For Middle Ground
It’s finally warm in Connecticut. So I wanted to wear one of my favorite silk cardigans to work. I was looking for some pants that would match, and I came upon an old pair of crops in my closet. They are a pretty taupe color, and would go great with my sweater. I haven’t worn …
University of Jeans
Today, I present you with a combination Fashion Quiz and Expert (meaning me) Style Advice. First, check out these two different styles of jeans: Notice the Mom Jeans on the left. How they come up really high in the waist, and blossom out in a womanly way around the hips. They have a really long …

Do These Yoga Pants Make My Asana Look Fat?
I’ve added another Zumba class to my Yoga/Zumba workout. Which means I’ve also added an additional sweaty day. So I figure it’s time for buy another fitness outfit. I won’t have to do laundry during the week. And besides, it’s very motivating. Sometimes the only reason I go to the gym is because I get to …
How I Won The Dance Contest
I’ve been an ungrateful little blogger. Bloggers love other bloggers, and they like to give each other prizes. The first time someone presented me with a blogging award, I was happy – but skeptical. When you accept on a blogging prize, you have to pass it on to five, seven, or maybe even fifty-seven other …
Even I’M not THAT vain
Spring. That special time of year. Time for renewal. Time for change. Time to change to my cotton cardigans. As I lighten my wardrobe (and this year my hair), it always becomes clear to me how very light I am. For a person who was originally a brunette, I am extremely pale. Like the white …
