Musings, observations and experiences of an indecisive, neurotic, paralyzed-by-fear new yorker. Fish in the Dark, Extreme Distress in the Balcony. April 9, 2015. April 9, 2015. As in “I literally died when she told me that! As I sat in the balcony I could practically hear Larry David complaining about the seats: “I don’t like this balcony. No, I DON’T. LIKE. IT. AT. ALL. It’s too steep and rickety. What kind of a word is rickety anyway? Or the chandeliers that hang over the audience? Icing on the Cake.

Musings, observations and experiences of an indecisive, neurotic, paralyzed-by-fear new yorker. February 10, 2015. February 11, 2015. Sorry if this post qualifies as TMI, but this anecdote is a perfect example of me and the ridiculous things I do on a daily basis, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share it. I apologized and she said it was ok, but she looked more than a wee bit embarrassed. I wondered if she thought that I did it purposely, as a way to even things out. Then I wondered if I...So th...

Musings, observations and experiences of an indecisive, neurotic, paralyzed-by-fear new yorker. March 24, 2015. March 24, 2015. I hope you’re having a nice Spring Break or, as we New Yorkers are apt to say, an “extended Winter.” Cue the violins playing and the Mid-Westerners wanting to strangle us or stab us in the eye with an icicle. You may have noticed that I’ve been on Sabbatical (without pay or studying), during which time a few (hundred) funny things happened. Here are a few stand-outs:. I was at a...

Tiger Mom Frenzy | An Attitude Adjustment
https://theattitudeadjustment.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/tiger-mom-frenzy
Making the Best of Modern Motherhood. Blogs You’ll Enjoy. The Maladjusted Book Club. January 17, 2011. The Joy Luck Club. I’ve been hearing a lot about “Tiger Mom”. In the blogosphere and Twittosphere lately, but I’ve resisted reading the article myself. You know how when everyone else is reading something and talking about it (hint:. Twilight, Girl with a Dragon Tattoo). It has a tendency to lose some of its allure? I know, I’m a snob.) But I finally read the. The Joy Luck Club. Pretending to be Shirley...

Five for Five Day 1: Ode to an Odyssey | Mama Dragon's Lair
https://czriley.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/five-for-five-day-1-ode-to-an-odyssey
Mama Dragon’s Lair. Motherhood, knitting and life as I see it. Laquo; Momalom’s Five for Five. Five for Five: Words. Five for Five Day 1: Ode to an Odyssey. The following July it stranded us again. Daylight, this time. But still kind of in the middle of nowhere. More major hassles. By this point we all knew that the van’s days with us were numbered. The car wasn’t ready yet – it’s so brand new off the truck that they have to finish unwrapping it! I do think I’ve gotten a little more relaxed about c...

Walking on My Hands. January 2, 2014 18 Comments. I always wonder what the world would be like if we all had the same intention, to focus more on love. I don’t know. It could be very awesome. – Britt Skrabanek. 8221; I asked, “Why? 8220;Well,” he said, “It’s just that you’re loud. You talk in a loud voice.”. When I told Scott he laughed. “You. Oud,” he said. “I worry you don’t hear very well.”. This year, the holidays were loud. About creating a Sankalpa instead. A Sankalpa is both an affirmation of ...

Ironic Side Effects | ANNA J BLOOM
https://annajbloom.com/2015/02/17/ironic-side-effects/comment-page-1
Musings, observations and experiences of an indecisive, neurotic, paralyzed-by-fear new yorker. February 17, 2015. February 17, 2015. Have you ever noticed that certain medications have ridiculously ironic/disturbing/hilarious (but only if it’s not happening to me) side effects? Check out my list below. Seems like some of these drugs needed a little more tweaking. I’ve obviously changed the names of the medications but the rest is accurate! I’m not getting clots today, but I may get them tomorrow! The fi...

Musings, observations and experiences of an indecisive, neurotic, paralyzed-by-fear new yorker. If Thank You Notes Told the Truth. May 3, 2016. I really didn’t want to write you this note, but my mother-in-law said that since you two co-chair the Spring Gala Committee at Mercy Hospital, I had to. 8221; or I might not. If I like the gift, great. If not, I’ll return it. For me, the ideal gift comes with a note saying “No thank you note necessary! What is one supposed to do with a big, stuffed duck? Moreove...
