I know, way to kill the whole New Year’s Eve party buzz, right?
New York Times style writer Bog Morris has perfectly captured exactly how I feel about the world right now.
If it isn’t 2007 in your neck of the world at the moment, do check out Morris’ hilarious list of what OTHER […]
For the last couple of days, I’ve been in a deep flu-fog — making typing errors, not wanting to deal with work, but mostly I’ve not done much but stare vacantly at the tv, like a child.
And just like a sick child, to find comfort, I spent Saturday morning watching cartoons. Mostly to avoid […]
Can Snoring Kill? – glared the headline of a recent science article.
Followed by a cheeky lead-in sentence which mocked the partner of the afflicted — hinting that he or she could be the assassin of the buzz-saw beside them.
Referred to as Obstructive sleep apnea, (or OSA) the condition is often defined as:
Obstructive sleep apnea […]
I don’t read tabloid rags, but I did catch the cover of this month’s Star Magazine’s Most Annoying Celebrity List issue.
What cracked me up was the sub-title: …And Why We Love Them!
The usual suspects appeared on the cover: Paris, Lindsay, Nicole, Britney — the lot.
Suddenly I found it irresistible to come […]
In researching how The Pet Set might become a vendor at one of the larger department stores here in the U.S., it became apparent that in order to qualify, my company would have to be either owned and run by women (me) or by a “minority” group or both.
I thought if there were […]
I know I annoy people with my persistent and sentimental reflection and scrutiny of myself — as each year comes to a close.
As I heard snippets on the news about preparations for this year’s Times Square celebration…I got a little weepy?…panicky?…worried? Yes, that’s it…worried — worried that 2007 won’t be as successful as 2006.
But […]
Tears literally came to my eyes when I opened the large gift box my husband presented to me. Before me was a brand spanking new iMac computer.
I don’t know what was prettier, the box it came in or it’s gleaming 20″ monitor.
Everything about Apple says beauty, poetry, style and new. Apple is the definition […]
I have already professed my love for Ugly Betty in two previous posts, while also confirming my proclivity toward couch-potato-ness.
Now, and miraculously, The New York Times and I agree on something: The new TBS sitcom, My Boys.
My Boys is kind of like the old Mary Tyler Moore Show, meets Friends […]
I know I’m not supposed to use the M-word, but how can I not after having seen this beautiful tree at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan!
Merry Christmas Everyone! And To All A Good Night!

I’ve talked about what an important element effective communications is at work.
Whether you are an executive who must drill corporate strategies into the psyche of the company, or you are a mentor, acting as a guide for a young employee, or your are just having an average conversation with your boss.
But the one area of […]
Peddling the 10th anniversary edition of It Takes A Village, Senator Hillary Clinton appeared today on ABC’s “The View”.
There was our most significant hope for a female President…joshing around with Rosie and Joy. (What’s up with Rosie lately, she’s getting just about everyone all upset.)
Everything was going along nicely — with her faux-moderate/mommy tone…very […]
For nearly two hours today, it seemed as if all of the news and blog outlets around the world could talk about was the possibility of The Donald making the decision to strip Tara Conner of her Miss USA crown.
In the end, Mr. Trump let her stay Miss (is it Ms.?) USA. But she […]
They say today will be THE busiest postal delivery day of the year…so hop to it.
I think you’ll still be ok with Amazon if you need to ship a last-minute gift.
Ariariana Huffington, founder of the the very influential — if not leftist snarkfest — Huffington Post is kind of an inspiration to […]
A while back at an office Christmas party, I discovered one of our employees in a car — in front of our building — with one of our male vendors in what looked like a scene from a teen make-out movie.
I could not believe her indiscretion.
Some years later, I’d heard about an administrative assistant who […]
I love the the holidays. Or rather I love to buy Christmas gifts, especially for my husband.
But, when I decided to leave my corporate job to start The Pet Set, I didn’t realize that the first couple of years were going to mean that I would be penniless.
Throughout our 20 year marriage, we have […]
