Just woke up to one of those emails that sends your heart directly to your feet and leaves you speechless, reeling and feeling rotten for ever complaining about anything.

THE OH-SO-FABULOUS SALVA

Once in a lifetime you get a Salva…Why do I love Salva? She arrives each day with a smile. She takes such good care of all of us it is truly beyond amazing. She is the only one who can coax Taylor out of a really bad mood, by either being sweet to her or telling her [...]

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

I will spare you all having to suffer through looking at any more photos of me.

The next photos I will post will be when I look like a version of myself.

I still look like I pissed off Charlie Sheen.

EYE-JOB UPDATE

The following is not for the fainthearted though it is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

Many of you have asked for updates since I announced the fact I was doing my eyes, littered amongst the “You don’t need it.” “Oh my god the pain.” and all the rest of it have been so many questions and proclamations; “I hate my jowls.” “nasal-bifolds” the mere word bi-fold on the face sends shivers up my spine.

THE NIGHT BEFORE EYE LIFT AND SO MUCH ADVICE

I have ten hours to go to before my eyelift and I must say I have been the recipient of more advice, some odd, some helpful, some not well thought out, but I take it all and then of course do exactly what I want as that is the way I have always lived my life.

PAY ATTENTION WHILE LETTING STUFF GO

I’m not yet done with my rant on women and their health. I got some very mixed responses to my “go get your heart checked” command yesterday.  I know I can be bossy.  I’ve been bossy since I was two.  The only person who could confirm that is Blake, and well, he’s not around to [...]

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SAY I DON’T NEED MY EYES DONE…….

A little visual tour of why I’m going to get my eyes done this week. These are not freshman eyes, Bette Davis’ eyes, they are Jackson eyes, and the longer you live the longer and deeper and darker they get. So many people keep telling me “you don’t need it done” Someone just said “I had too much time on my hands” – I wish. Take a look at these pictures you will all agree, the time has come.

FOR FRESHMAN MOMS WITH SENIOR KIDS OR FRIENDS WITH SENIOR KIDS

I’m not in the habit of rerunning blogs or articles but I have been both involved in and heard several conversations lately that make me think it might be a good time to bring out this old war horse for another lap.I’m not in the habit of rerunning blogs or articles but I have been both involved in and heard several conversations lately that make me think it might be a good time to bring out this old war horse for another lap.

FRESHMAN MOMS HEARTS – THE BEAT GOES ON

We’ve talked a lot about hearts the last eight months. We’ve worried that our hearts would break when our freshman left home, only to discover that in fact we were all more resilient than we thought; and that the natural cycle of life does have it’s own tempo and that if we follow it we will end up in the place we are meant to be.

THEY’VE LOOKED AT MY HEART FROM ALL SIDES NOW

Freshman mom has sort of been MIA since I got back from Boston and Providence.

Between trying to finish the edit for the DVD of LUCKY DUCKS and visiting what felt like every heart specialist in New York over the last ten days I have pretty much had no time for anything.

TWEEN TODAY

GOOD MORNING LUCY- HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY!

We are having a very low-key day, brunch and nails then dinner at her favorite restaurant. We opened presents this AM and she got her big gift, a SLR camera lat week. All is good in Lucyland and I can’t believe she has been here for ten years. Everyday has been a gift and she has added and continues to bring so much to each of our lives.

I HEART GLENN

I said that instead of adding the heart because I don’t know how to find all those little symbols on my computer, and Lucy is busy trying to find something pink to wear to Whole Foods.
