- And to think I used to spend time worrying about the pack rat that lives in my garage. Yes, believe it or not, I actually used to fret about the silly little rodent that scampers across the concrete, caught in the headlights when we return home from an evening out. “When are you going to kill that varmint?” I’d shriek at my beleaguered husband. “It’s stressing me out, I tell you!”

- Mad man triggers steamy celebrity fantasies
- September 21, 2008
- Don’t tell my husband, but I’m mad about another man. I didn’t mean for it to happen. It’s not like I went looking for it or anything. It was just one of those things. One of those love-at-first-sight, weak-in-the-knees, torridly rapturous things. Oh, the agony of a heart divided! The guilt of immoral thoughts! But — bless me Father, I have sinned — I just can’t help myself. I’m in love with Don Draper.

- Boomer proposes fashion’s next hot item
- September 14, 2008
- Michael Kors obviously didn’t get the memo. Neither did Calvin Klein, Vera Wang or Marc Jacobs. I e-mailed every one of those high falutin’ New York designers with the same hot tip. “2009: The Year of the Bib,” I wrote. “Get on board, people, before opportunity passes you by.” Yet, scouring runway after runway during Fashion Week, I didn’t see a single supermodel sporting a bib on her bony torso.
- Weather sends party plans awry
- September 7, 2008
- There are few inalienable truths in life, and here’s one of them: If you want to get your house in tip-top condition, throw a party.

- Facebook triggers fresh social anxieties
- August 31, 2008
- I’m depressed and distraught because I don’t have enough friends. Oh, I’m doing fine in the flesh-and-blood buddy department. I have a gaggle of girlfriends from high school with whom I occasionally cavort. My coffee chums are cherished confidantes, and my tailgate group is a blast. Throw wonderful workmates, neighbors and sundry acquaintances into the mix and my cup should runneth over, shouldn’t it?
