Thursday, July 10, 2014. The key to a GREAT summer? Why it’s the same way one survives parenthood. Martinis. Here’s a few summer ‘tini recipes for you…not that I partake in alcoholic beverages often…#lying. I like ‘em a bit sweet. If you don’t, hey, you can make a martini with vermouth, and throw in a couple of olives on your own. You don’t need my help for that! Want to be all cultured and cosmopolitan? By “Cosmopolitan” I mean worldy…not the drink on Sex and the City. 1 1/2 oz vodka. 1 oz peach schnapps.

TheDeeView: My Summer Reads
http://thedeeview.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-summer-reads.html
Sunday, August 10, 2014. We are Water, by Wally Lamb. I love him. The characters are so strong and interesting.a ménage a tois if you will. It has everything.art, love, divorce, kids, angst, fulfillment, history, lesbians, crime, race relations. But it doesn't feel burdensome like a GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL.it just feels readable and intense and interesting. And I cared about the characters. China Dolls by Lisa See. My Life in Middlemarch. Shocking, cuz I usually muddle through everything. This? Such a fun e...

TheDeeView: February 2014
http://thedeeview.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 23, 2014. Hey, if you follow me on Twitter you may know (and if you don’t- why the hell not? Oh, you have a life, well, ok…) that I’ve been recovering from leg and foot surgery. Hey, I wish it were a face lift, or something glamorous, or something that involved vacuuming out my middle section, but no, just trying to be able to walk. . .that pesky “one foot in front of the other” thing. So I thought I’d give you my latest summary of books I’ve read. Not that I identify. Beach or plane read.

TheDeeView: December 2013
http://thedeeview.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 19, 2013. We came. We saw. We conquered. We yelled. We napped. We had martinis. That’s the story of 2013 in a nutshell. Merry Christmas. You can’t possibly want more details? Well, I’ll give them even if you don’t want them. (Warning – you may want to stop reading here and just enjoy the pictures! This year we were grateful for our mini-van cuz it turns out you can fit SEVEN band kids and six LARGE instruments in it. And hey! Only one of the kids had to ride on the roof! Glowie is over...

TheDeeView: October 2013
http://thedeeview.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 13, 2013. Back to School G Forces. What the hell is it about Back to School? Why is this so demanding of our family? I’M not going back to school. I don’t need to find cute clothes that fit-in with my peer group. Though I do think I should add a pair (or two) of Back to School shoes to my wardrobe, dammit. (Hello Michael Kors. I love you.). I thought I deserved some sort of medal for the Back to School shopping. For those of you who enjoy Target and the Mall right before school starts?

TheDeeView: Summer Reading Essentials
http://thedeeview.blogspot.com/2014/08/summer-reading-essentials.html
Sunday, August 3, 2014. Back to School, Back to Madness, but this summer? There were a few good reads…and a few great ones too. There were a few “mehs” as well…). Super fun read: The Madwoman in the Volvo by Sandra Tsing Loh. Dear God - it is a crazy ride! I just finished Summer House with Swimming Pool. Probably the best book of the summer for me. Well, top 5 for sure. Gritty stuff, but soooo riveting. Really explores the relationship between parents and those fucking teen kids! By the same guy? I LOVED...

Sunday, February 2, 2014. So last year, I go to the waxing lady, whom I love. Which is odd, cuz she does pour hot wax on my special girl parts then RIPSSS. And once you aren't a firm 20-something anymore (OK, so you aren't a firm 40-something anymore either, dammit. And by "you" I do mean ME! Anyhow when it RIPPSS all your business comes along for the ride. She keeps bringing it up and I keep saying: “Sure! Maybe someday.”. And then tell me how much prettier I could be if I spent more money with you!

Sunday, September 1, 2013. Hawaiian Bread is a Gateway Drug. That Hawaiian Bread stuff! We had lunch with some friends in the mountains this summer and the mom made these DELICIOUS little sandwiches on Hawaiian Bread. Let me just say, I don’t want to be known as the piggy guest, but SHE DIDN’T MAKE ENOUGH OF THEM! My daughters and I grab these seemingly innocuous sandwiches off the plate, put them in our mouths thoughtlessly, (hey, we were at the lake – we had other things to do! What was I thinking?
