*&%#?@!!!
I woke up this morning very eager to get to my yoga class since the substitute teacher stood us up yesterday. I was probably rushing a bit when I was rinsing out a glass just before leaving and the damn thing shattered.
I was pretty sure most of it landed in the sink, but you just [...]
The SATC2 Experience
Sex and The City 2 was fabulous. I really don’t know what all these hetro-male reviewers are complaining about. Clearly, they have zero understanding of the female psyche. I’ve already seen (and loved) it twice and so did all of my girlfriends! If you watched the show, then go see the movie. It’s a great [...]
Summer Shoe Success
Readers & tweeters may already have guessed, I am a shoe fanatic. My shoes take up more than half my closet and I fully intend to purchase more in the coming months. Much as I enjoy boots in winter, I adore a sexy summer sandal. In fact, once the season gets started, I have a [...]
The Big Mouse in The Sky
One day, my niece or future bother-in-law will read this and either a) appreciate the hilarity and understand why I had to share or 2) totally disapprove. Hoping for the former, I need to tell you the funniest thing I have heard in a while.
A few weeks ago, my fiance and I headed up to [...]
A Matter of Trust
I know, I know, Modern Manners is late … again. But, I have a great excuse: my sweetie unexpectedly came home from work early yesterday with a colleague so I had to spend the time I planned to use for blogging on entertaining our guest. It’s ok. It’s the right thing to do. But it [...]
Bad Kitty
Sometimes I think I’m not going to have anything to focus on for Modern Manners Monday. But the “good” people of South Philly always manage to find a way to help me out.
You may have seen my tweets from Friday last week, which began, rather typically, with a comment about heading to my last yoga [...]
It Takes A Village
I haven’t talked to anyone who hasn’t been affected by the images we’ve seen coming in from Haiti after the earthquake. It seems impossible not to have a visceral compassionate response. I know I am not alone in having actually been brought to tears by the footage. We all want to do something.
This week’s Modern [...]
New Year, New Me
I’ve been working on this post for months. The idea came to me a while ago to do a Modern Manners column on the practice of hiding behind email. My main points were that it’s cowardly and it contributes to the increasing disconnectedness of our society.
I stopped myself. Wasn’t hiding behind email a bit like [...]
Bad Taste
Modern Manners is back for the new year and while I had hoped to have a big-time announcement for you today, I’m holding out on a fabulous picture I really want to include. Stay tuned for more, though, in the month of Jan. Anywhoo, I originally wanted to give the culprits a break on this [...]
Free Delivery!
A friend of mine recently tweeted that she had 16 Christmas gifts delivered to her house from one website (nice, shopping, girl!) I’m wagering they were also delivered by one delivery person, which is what inspired this week’s modern manners lesson: tip your driver.
Think about all the time and trouble he/she has saved you. Remember [...]
