*SPOILER ALERT – DO NOT READ  THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED EPISODE 7! A note on Homeland…I was on the edge of my seat the entire show until the last 3 minutes when we see the Taliban’s plan to take the embassy.

So I made it. (Read part one if you have no idea what I am talking about) I parked the car, grabbed my bag and walked through security. The guard told me that jury duty was upstairs.

The dreaded slip came in the mail two months ago. I looked at it, sighed and said, “oh fuck” out loud.  Jury Duty. You know that feeling right? Nobody wants to go. Admit it. My issue was the date they requested was the date I was leaving for Napa. I quickly sent the form back asking for a postponement. Little… Read More

Let’s discuss The Affair because at least it’s so much more fun to take apart. What did… Read More

I still can’t believe it is November. What I can’t believe even more is that is almost Thanksgiving. It just so happens Thanksgiving is the one holiday I enjoy hosting.

A little while ago I received an email from Susie Schnall about participating in the Balance Project.

Today I was invited to a preview of Fresh Market before the grand opening tomorrow in Livingston. I have been patiently awaiting for this store to open. The bar was set low when the Pathmark of Livingston, NJ closed several years ago. Therefore, I was extremely surprised to find out that Fresh Market was taking the old, dirty Pathmark’s space… Read More

If you didn’t watch the season premiere yet, don’t read this! But if you did, let’s discuss! 1. The Brody Baby a.ka. Frannie. Did I miss why they named her that? Frannie? Sorry if that is your name but that is a tough name for an infant.  Also not so cute (I know I am going to hell).  Good job… Read More

It’s 3:37am. I am lying in bed thinking about how I can escape to the bathroom without the dog hearing me. Because once I take one foot out of bed he starts crying. I have to PEE!!!

Shit show. Absolute shit show yesterday morning. I should have known, right?  It’s Rosh Hashanah. It was like this in my house growing up and it has not changed one iota.
