Brown, Daley or Walls?
Tuesday, 27 February 2007 9:25 A GMT-06
I'll be heading to the polls after work tonight and wanted to know what people have to say about Brown, Daley and Walls--our three mayoral candidates. Now Daley has already been mayor for 20, yes TWENTY years. That's four more years than

I have one day left of my first week back on WeightWatchers. I'm feeling pretty good, not expecting much of a loss because week one coincides with major PMS. But I still have 30 of my 35 extra points for the week. And I feel like I'

I was looking at the tomatos in the pot and realized that my can opener was in the dishwasher. Brilliant. So much for adding green chilis or black beans. I opened the cabinet and saw a thing of Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Mix. H
Watch out. The oven is on.

Well, I can't get out of my building. I could, but leaving my snowboots in my cubicle was not smart. Now there is a wintry mix standing between me and the grocery store. I've been camped out on my couch, watching TV and watching the
Two good commentaries on Britney Spears.
Sunday, 25 February 2007 1:57 P GMT-06
I've said to a couple people in the elevator, "She (Britney Spears) never had a time when she got to shave her head or go a little crazy, we can't fault her for doing it now." But a couple other people have much more thoughtful commen

Turns out that seven days of non-stop listeneing to my Torah portion paid off. I got to my lesson this morning and surprised myself with how well I have learned my second aliyah. I'm just reading two portions, but still have a few prayers

I'm totally going to put this on my damn JDate profile. Why? Cause then maybe I'll get more than five words out of these dudes. SERIOUSLY. Meh. Maybe there will be someone fabulous at shul tonight who isn't bothered by m

First of all, my bat mitzvah invitations are starting to be opened around the city. Guess what? Nobody is complaining about the layout and everyone seems to be giving them the big thumbs up. Next time you need invitations, head over

Just over a week ago, I said outloud that I wanted a bit more on my plate at work. I got it in buckets. My to do list is an amazingly diverse group of research topics. So diverse that if the FBI or CIA or Homeland Security sees

I thought I was choosing wisely at Ruby Tuesday's today at lunch. After all, I got the veggie burger. I just hopped onto DWLZ.com and found out that the veggie burger NOT INCLUDING FRIES is 22.5 points. I get 31 points a day.
Here we go again.

I've been thinking about it and I'm going to do it. Yes, that's right. Weight Watchers. I had a big burger this weekend and some onion rings, because at some level I was planning on using it again. So I'll be that annoying person fo

I got home from shul on Friday night, sat down on the couch and woke up at 11:20 the next morning. Late for services, but a friend's son was becoming bar mitzvah, so I ran over and caught most of his torah reading and his d'var. I then me

My invitations arrived from Invitation Consultants today and I'm a little disappointed. I'm sure everyone else will like them, but I had something different in mind. Even though they called to confirm, I guess I should have pushed back ha

If I ever think that I'm not a part of the Chicago Jewish community, I have this as proof I am. The following is an email I got in response to my CL ad.

Diane called and told me that Nerd Night was off. "You're crazy!" I said from the warm, safe red line, "sure there is snow, but enough to cancel?"

My newest article, Mirror, Mirror, is now up. It's about how to create long lasting relationships and for it I interviewed Therapy Doc, Robert Fass* and Sandy Singer. Sandy doesn't blog, but she should.

Violent Femmes and.... Wendy's?
Monday, 12 February 2007 2:11 P GMT-06
I don't pay a lot of attention to commercials, that's obvious. How long has this Wendy's commercial been running with Violent Femmes as the background music?
At one level, it is brilliant! You get a whole bunch of people in their 20s a

Last night when I was reeling from sticker shock as I ordered my bat mitzvah invitations, I wasn't thinking about customer service--just grammar, spelling, and ettiquette. Well, I just hung up the phone and wanted to say that they folks at Invi
Nobody called, so I went shopping.
Sunday, 11 February 2007 10:20 P GMT-06
I was on call today for work, but when I didn't hear a peep out of anyone at Edelman, I went shopping. Actually, I went shopping downtown so if I did get called, I'd be a ten minute walk to the office.

Today I said to myself, "Enough with toe dipping! Toe dipping doesn't help you meet Jewish men! It is time to jump into the dating pool, miss thing." So I dusted off an old personal ad, took a good look at it and threw it
