I have found myself staring at the unopened Priority Express box. I know my wedding dress is inside. What happens if it's ugly? (Note that it wasn’t ugly when I picked it out weeks ago.) Or what if my now menopausal body can't slither my Spanx...
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have me thinking a lot lately about releasing medical records. You know...
Being the Jewish mother that I am—I seriously didn't want my 19 year old son (also the baby of the family) to drive 14 hours alone. Better he should fly to soccer pre-camp in New Hampshire. Better that I drive his car and meet him...
