I saw this in my local liquor store yesterday. Someone knows their audience! This is exactly how many women survive motherhood in the burbs! It also explains the erratic driving behavior I see out here.
What's worse than having to drive EVERYWHERE, instead of walking like I used to in the city? What's worse than living in Wall-e world? Not being able to drive at all! It was bad enough having to drive everywhere I need to go but it's way worse not being able to drive at all, thanks to my bruised back. Now I feel completely isolated and stranded in the suburbs. I literally have no escape route. My new motto is, enjoy today you have no idea just how much worse tomorrow may be!!!
On election day we were still in NYC. Excitement, anticipation and uncertainty filled the city. In the elevator, in the street, at our neighborhood park, that's all we could talk about. A lot of the kids went and voted with their parents and it was so great to watch them talk about it at the playground afterwards. Fast forward a couple of months and I'm now in CT. I have to be honest and say that this morning I was sitting here wishing that I could be in NYC for Obama's inauguration. I was craving that feeling of being part of the crowd, of the buzz. So where was I at 11:30 today? I was at my friend's Deana's house. I met her at a newcomer's cocktail party. She had invited about a dozen of us to come and watch the ceremony at her house.

That's right a glass of bubbly at noon on a Tuesday. The room was fille...

So I had two options (beyond bootcamp ) join a gym or buy a machine and start a home gym. Joining a gym would mean having to drive there. On the plus side it would also mean that Bella would get to see other kids her age at the babysitting place. But a home gym would mean that I could do it whenever I felt like it. Anyway I went for the home option. After all these years of having to share a gym with stinky guys or annoying women who can't stop talking, I couldn't resist the lure of privacy. After I got over the price tag....who knew those things were so expensive, I had to figure out where to put the thing. We have a little bit of room (especially compared to our 2 bedroom NYC apt) but we don't have a room to dedicate to a gym. Anyway after lengthy discussions with hubby we decide that the unfinished basement whi...
