Personal Best!
I survived! I survived a whole month without shopping! My niece introduced me to Pretend Shopping. She finds great stuff on the internet and sends photos to her friends, saying, “I pretend-bought this for you!” Here’s what she once picked out for me: Pretend-Shopping is a great idea, and so I did a lot …
My Favorite Days – Part One
Next week I’ll be celebrating the anniversary of one of the best days of my life. Just thinking about that day led me to consider what other days I would choose as my favorite days. So leading up to The Big Event, for the next couple of days I’m posting some of the runners-up. I …
Happy Returns
Dear Customer Service: I recently ordered two necklaces as gifts. However, when they arrived one of the necklaces was broken. Since the breakage appeared to be due to poor quality, I am returning both necklaces. Please email me the return label, as described on your website. Thank you, Nancy Roman Dear Ms. Roman: We are …
One Size Fits All
It’s no secret – (because I have no secrets – I’ve written 256 posts over the last two years; there is no detail of my life not in print) – that I like big girl underpants. High in the waist and low on the legs – the kind that make me look like I am …

I have a new obsession that is stealing all my time away from blogging. I am going to blog about it. But right now I am too busy with my latest time-waster to find the time to blog about my latest time-waster. Give me a little while to let boredom creep in, and I’ll be …
Dear John:
It’s over. I’m so sorry. I thought it would last forever. And it almost did. Eight years. Eight years is nearly forever in the fashion world. I thought it was Love. But it was merely Infatuation. You saw me through my big career phase, my semi-retirement phase, and for the last several years, my littler …
I Hope He Kept The Receipt
My husband and I are having the BEST disagreement EVER! My sweet and exasperating husband has a tendency to go a little overboard sometimes. Which drives me crazy when it is dicing vegetables or watering the plants. When it is buying me presents – well – I can tolerate it. This year he outdid himself. …
