My Morning at the Town Dump
Wow - it's been over 2 weeks here! What the hell have I been doing? Fasting and feasting over the High Holidays, for one. Getting back into community service for two. And BLOGGING off-Blogit for three. Maybe you'll appreciate my latest Greenwichonthecheap post? This morning, my Mom brought me to the...

Blogging
I love blogging. And I love traveling. I love bargains and entertaining and "being funny." As I've mentioned in the past, I write travel features for newspapers and magazines for a "living" (that is a relative term - I couldn't exist on my income here, on the Gold Coast), but even those plum...

My Websites
Here we go - this is what has kept me occupied and pulling my hair out lately. I plan to update each site daily, though some days more than others. I'll also make it more interactive in the weeks to come, with Google AdSense and other ads for good measure. I've got friends who can help and I'll just...

Cities on the Cheap; a great site, no doubt and one that I'm proud to be part of. I'm planning to set up my own with Connecticut cities, which will be linked to this main site created by Jennifer W. And I'll be working on it all day today. No rest for the industrious here. I'll use Bloggit to...

My Sights on Publishing
These are tough times for print journalists. For the first time in years, I've finished a bunch of assignments without anything else in the pipeline. Nada. Usually, I've got one or two features in the hopper that require my attention right after pressing "send" to the latest editor. Not this time....

Mom Loves You More
We had our first family meeting with Jacob's HS college counselor this morning. She rattled off the names of a few universities, asked Jacob questions about his strengths and interests, and crossed some ideas off while adding others. My oldest, Ben, just started college this week, and though he had...

Loving Costco
My Mom loves to shop at Costco, as do I. But she doesn't have a Costco Membership card, and I do, so she tags along whenever I go, which is usually once a month or so. Unlike my husband, I go to Costco with a shopping list, so that I don't waste too much time meandering around the warehouse, tempted...

Snooping Mom
In this age of instant communication, it's so easy to think that our college kids could (or would even WANT to) call us at the drop of a hat. And when they don't?. I wasn't one of the crying Moms who dropped her son or daughter off at school three days early for a pre-orientation program in the...
