Are feminism and humor mutually exclusive?

Cathleen and I update the old Catskills-style humor (“Take my wife…Please!”) to fit our P.O.V. Oh hey, I just saw this from the Boston Comedy blog, written by Nick Zaino....

Living in fantasy land

Living in fantasy land

When I was third grader, there was a boy with whom I’d play house during recess. Just to be clear, I said house, not doctor. I wasn’t that sexually advanced. When I played doctor as a little girl, I actually pretended I was a doctor. Anyhow, “house” consisted mainly of my little boyfriend building things out of branches and rocks and me “cooking” by smashing acorns and...

Give me some flowers!

Can I get a 4th up in here? Today is our four year wedding anniversary.  And now I shall reflect… Four years ago today I was exhausted, sitting at the salon with my ladies.  As the hairdresser twiddled with my sister’s hair, she told us how she had been up all night with her daughter who was throwing up.  My friend Jessica and I shared a terrified look as we internally...

My husband’s toothbrush is blue…

My husband’s toothbrush is blue…

Remember the movie, Green Card?  For some reason, I was obsessed with that flick when I was a kid.  Perhaps it was the brooding complexity of 1980′s film sensation, Andie MacDowell coupled with Gerard de Pardue’s gigantic face.  Or maybe it was just her character’s kick ass New York apartment.  Whatever the reason, I couldn’t get enough of their...

Shout Out!

Shout Out!

And now for a video dedication… My life has been completely upended by a stomach virus over the past three days.  My husband and I live in a tiny apartment with very little privacy.  Over the last few days, he has seen and heard terrible things.  Sounds that would make a child cry and a cat run out into traffic.  Despite the thick haze of gas, he has been by my side, ready and...

Watch out or I’ll sting you!

Watch out or I’ll sting you!

Peter and I don’t have cable TV.  So, if you invite us over and all we want to do is watch television you now know why.  Because of this little detail in our life we watch a lot of PBS.   Not that there’s anything wrong with that… Last night, as we ate dinner in front of the TV (another little detail) we were watching Globe Trekker.  The host was visiting...

Tropical Topical

Tropical Topical

Hi Robyn! I dearly hope your move was a HUGE success! I’m writing from a small wood cabin nestled on a hot, hot island. I have bug bites aplenty and a gecko just pooped on my bakini bottoms. I will leave you with this question to ponder. If you and Jim could move to a tropical island, would you? The couple who owns the cabin where we are staying has lived here for 40 years. ...

Vacation a Go Go!

Vacation a Go Go!

The rain outside is unending and Accuweather is proclaiming that a “hurricane-like” storm will be hitting the Northeast this weekend.  You can grab your shovels, stockpile beans, and burn your ex’s photos for fuel, or…you can go the Caribbean.  By the time you click on your horoscope this morning, Peter and I will be mid-flight to the Virgin Islands.  We deserve this.  Are...
