Obama Action Figure Outselling Elmo!

Hard to believe, folks, and yet it is true. Not only do we have a truly historical election and to-be presidency on our hands, but we also have a toy that has at last broken the final frontier of consumerism--outselling Elmo! For those of you ...

Madonna wants A-Rod's baby

Seriously, folks--can you feel the media struggling? Yes, this is an actual headline, somewhere. According to a new "report" Madonna, soon to be divorced, is keen to have a baby with baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod, who if you'll recall ...

Girl falls 14 stories down chimney

When company comes to visit, it's natural for kids to want to show them around. That's all 12-year-old Grace Bergere was doing when she climbed the chimney ladder on her Manhattan apartment building's roof, eager to show off the view to her visiting ...

There goes my neighborhood

Actually, it's my former neighborhood. Apparently--and please pardon me, as there may be just a teensy little bit of bile forming in the back of my throat (and it's NOT morning sickness)--the creator of Melrose Place are considering another such ...

The best laid plans

Ah, the weather. How I hate it. All that pretty, pretty snow can really put a damper on things when you're trying to get things done. Well, snow and sleet and rain. And I don't want to hear about how Mother Nature has her ways of getting us to ...

Reunion

Last night my husband, baby and I all piled in the car and headed into the city for my high school's annual reunion/holiday party event. I went the inaugural year, two years ago, but skipped last year because I was pregnant. I returned to the scene ...

Have you been to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?

I haven't. I've never really wanted to go. I mean, it's never been my dream. The parade looks interesting and fun from afar, from my home as I watch it on television, but the chaos, the crowds, the weather--all of this has kept me from taking the ...

Kate Beckinsale and family get pedicures

Here is something you are probably never going to see me and my family do: get pedicures. As a family. As in all three of us, together, in a spa or whatever, with our feet propped up having our cuticles pushed back as a collective. Sounds like it ...

Moms and slutty costumes

Halloween is a huge production around these parts, as you might imagine. I mean, in New York City it's basically Halloween every day anyway with the people dress around here, but on October 31st all the kid gloves come off if you know what I'm ...

Have baby: Will travel...on the road

Oh MY GOD. Today, and especially this morning, has been nearly as insane as when I went into labor. I know it's my first time traveling with an infant and everything, but I think I might lose my mind if I don't get to take a shower and just go to ...

Pregnancy and NYC transportation: a funny thing happened on the way to the hospital

As you may recall, several weeks ago I posted my concerns about getting to the hospital once I went into labor. I line in Brooklyn, New York and the hospital where I was scheduled to deliver is in Manhattan. Like many New Yorkers, I don't have a ...

Pregnancy and New York City Transportation

It's a good thing I've maintained my sense of humor throughout my pregnancy. Pregnancy, since it's my first time through, has been an interesting and sometimes complicated situation, especially since I live in New York City. See, most of us don't ...
