It’s officially Spring! Happy Spring, everyone! Okay, fine, maybe not “weather-wise,” but in terms of whimsical, breezy fashion? SPRING. For example: Let’s begin. They are not only “slacks,” but they are LADIES’ SLACKS. These slacks require zero ironing. Which is good, because I couldn’t tell you the timesuck that ironing my slacks has become. No matter what circumstances are going down in your life, the elastic waistband of these beauties will not roll. Weeding azaleas, running from the fuzz, your {Read More}
Say It With Elastic Waist Jeans.
October 15, 2012 By 4 Comments
I have a new favorite advertisement. And it’s for elastic jeans. Let’s begin. As the ad so clearly states: That’s Amazing! Some of the text is mighty small, so I shall clarify. For starters, this pair of dungarees features the company’s “most comfortable 360 degree stretch waist.” That’s right, we’re not talking just a little stretch action by the zipper, no sir. You could comfortably invite a friend in there with you. (Maybe not so “comfortably” for your “friend”- but {Read More}
Spoiling A Movie In Three Panels.
April 25, 2012 By 2 Comments
So, this is nowhere near “wordless” today, but I think you’ll forgive the loquaciousness when you behold THIS: This movie has already aired. You may have missed your chance to see it. But it still needs to be discussed. The promo features three distinct pictures slashed across the page: Cuba Gooding Jr. looking concerned. A female behind a chain link fence looking, I dunno, hopeless. And, inexplicably, a group of what I can only assume are jumpsuited prisoners laughing on {Read More}
The Media Speaks To Me.
September 22, 2011 By 2 Comments
This morning, P.J. almost threw out what was- easily– the best part of today’s Tribune. It was the circular for the Grand Opening of Five Below, my new favorite five-bucks-and-under store (to which I have never been). It’s almost like Peej doesn’t even care about The Issues or Extreme Savings. Weird. Let’s review. Let’s do a close-up on that front cover, shall we? Okay, generically pretty girl, perhaps college-aged, happily wearing a Snuggie. Now, I can suspend my disbelief as well {Read More}
Vacation + Blogging= Vlog!
October 14, 2010 By 3 Comments
(That IS what it stands for, yeah?) So, in light of the fact that I am currently in Napa for the wedding of two darling friends…here’s something kinda sorta completely different. A Vlog that Nora and I recorded last week. You’re welcome. And…if you hate it… …I’m sorry. (But you won’t.) love, Keely(p.s. This is the most still my child has ever been. Ever.)
I mock because I envy.

The single best thing that has ever been randomly sent through the U.S. Mail- ever- is something that I’m about to share with you. It is a catalog. And it has changed my life. Not only that, but I am also able to show you each individual item that has made me a better American- nay, human being. For- their online catalog is gonna allow me some visual aides. Ready? (Of course you aren’t. How do you prepare for something {Read More}
I also call people "Baby" a lot. This bugs certain Big Kids.

Due to the fact that I am still in Massachusetts, still surrounded by genetically terrific children, and still not convinced that it isn’t Thursday… …May I present a smallish sampling of things I’ve learned about myself? On Speech: Turns out, I abbreviate and nickname a LOT. When my sister asked if something needed to happen and I responded with “potenstsh,” a vehement “IALLY” came from the 4 year-old in the other room. The little guys have also started referring to {Read More}
Day three of kiddo fever= rage about The Issues.
July 8, 2010 By 5 Comments
Oh my goodness. Now, I’m not usually one for “current” media. I read the Sunday paper, of course- the trifecta of the Sunday Mag, Parade and “the funners.” Always. I try to keep up with environmental, health and local political stuff. But no, I’m not a rabid news follower. (Then again, I kinda don’t have to be. I’m married to a guy who has The Huffington Post tattooed onto his corneas. He likes to tell me The Issues right before {Read More}
