Chez Zimmer: August 2010
http://smarmygal.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 28, 2010. I've deactivated my Facebook account. I may be back, I may not. Here is why:. I have had an incredibly shitty week, which caps off a pretty crappy 5 years. I am tired. Tired of being in charge of everything on all fronts. Tired of putting on a happy face for people who could not possibly care less. Tired of being the Funny Fat Girl. Links to this post.

Chez Zimmer: November 2009
http://smarmygal.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 5, 2009. Frustration: Not a good color on me. I have been planning a fund raiser for Temple Israel Sisterhood and Brotherhood for the last 3 months. It has been frustrating. That is an understatement. Let me say upfront that Pam Chambers and Lisa Goldsand have been amazing in their efforts to help pull this event together. They rock and I would choose them first for any team I am on (professional, volunteer or dodge ball - you gals ROCK.). As someone who managed volunteers professional...

Chez Zimmer: October 2010
http://smarmygal.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. Do you work with volunteers? In charge of a committee or two? I am a fan of finding a cause you can get behind and giving your time to help move that cause forward. We need check-writers, too, but the muscle behind the movement is where things tend to get tricky. Feel free to add your own thoughts. As a membership director, I would love to hear them. 2 Communication is key. Setting realistic expectations is crucial. You should have a volunteer job description detailing t...3 Inv...

Chez Zimmer: February 2010
http://smarmygal.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. More Things I Have Learned. It has been an interesting week here at Chez. I have been so wrapped up in getting past the Temple Israel Purim. Event on Saturday, that I haven't really looked ahead - which has been refreshing. I peeked at the calendar this morning to find that I really have nothing this week. NOTHING. A rare occurrence, indeed. The only evening activity on my calendar this week is a much anticipated girls' night on Saturday. Finally, extraordinary days are possibl...

Monday, November 21, 2011. Half-Assed is the new Fabulous. It has been almost a year since I last posted on this blog. A lot has happened in that year. Jack started real school. My grandfather died. We renewed our wedding vows. I went to Vegas. Twice. Sisterhood imploded. It's been a year. It is has not been a good week for the self-esteem. I've already started backing away from Sisterhood and pray that my friendships don't suffer because of it. The rest of it is kind of non-negotiable. Do I want...If yo...

Chez Zimmer: December 2010
http://smarmygal.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 27, 2010. The Look of Shame. Warning: Not a funny post, for those of you looking for that. This one is for me.). I should have known better. Really, I should have. We'd been at The Grams' since Thursday, immersed ourselves in a weekend full of bacchanalia and then put him off his routine with the aide out on vacation this week. To think I could introduce this particular version of The Prince to new friends was asinine, really. The piece de resisantce, however, is what gets me every time&...

Chez Zimmer: March 2010
http://smarmygal.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Time to Bust Out the Bikini - It's March! Ohioans have a complicated relationship with our weather. When it hits 50 degrees in March, we start wearing shorts. When it hits 50 degrees in November, we turn on the furnace and drag out the parkas. Another thrill of being a Buckeye? In February, you cannot find a pair of gloves in any local store to save your life, but if you need a string bikini fr Valentine's Day, Columbus is the place to find it. Now that the sun is out, after, I s...

Chez Zimmer: Why Are We Funny?
http://smarmygal.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-are-we-funny.html
Thursday, December 1, 2011. Why Are We Funny? Above is a clip of one of the funniest guys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. And I know some ridiculously funny people. I went to high school with Don Harmon and he, it is widely agreed, had a comment, joke or sarcastic remark for every situation. On top of being just plain funny without really trying, he was also kind, smart and, I will admit, a cutie patootie. He committed suicide this week. Leaving behind a wife and a very small daughter. I honestl...

Thursday, January 7, 2010. Facebook: Friend or Foe? Hello My name is Chris and I am addicted to Facebook. Not as badly as I was at first, mind you, but I still waste enough hours on the social networking site to be a wee bit embarrassed about it. The thrill in the beginning is all the new "friends" you find. Everyone wants to invite you to the virtual party and you feel like the belle of the ball with all the waiting invitations out there. A friend from grade school! Oh joy, a former colleague! Sometimes...
