From this Side of the Pond


The weekly questions from Joyce.



1. What would you say is your biggest day to day challenge?

  Keeping all the plates spinning.    Keeping all the balls in the air.  Trying not to drop the ball.


2. May 16th is National Biographers Day. What's a biography you really enjoyed reading? Is this a genre you read regularly?

Not a biography per se, but I read Anne Frank's diary when I was a teen.  Her optimism and belief in the goodness of man ... in the face of unspeakable horror ...it had a profound effect on me.

3. How important is keeping a clean house? Do you need to de-clutter your life?

My house, and my life, are extremely cluttered and in need of some serious attention.

4. You're the 8th dwarf. What's your name?

Just call me Stressed Out.

5. What's surprised you the most about your life or life in general?

If you'd asked me when  I was 25 what my life would be like in my 50's, the answer you would have gotten hardly resembles my reality.  But it's ok.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

 I am stressed, tired, cranky, aggravated, and certainly not at my best right now.

    I'm also sorry to hear your stressed out. Keeping things going can be a challenge at times.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
