Yep, Still Blind

Posted by on Mar 27, 2006 in dish | 0 comments So I go to the eye doctor today and find out that, surprisingly, I’m not as blind as I feared. In fact, my eyes are getting better.

Pilates Part Deux

Posted by on Mar 20, 2006 in dish | 0 comments Pilates class again tonight, step one in the “Build a Better mimi” program.

Not only was a very nice woman rubbing and sloughing and trimming my feet, but the cushy chair I was in had massage. Yum. One tip to me: don’t do this again on the afternoon after the...

It’s About Time

Posted by on Jan 14, 2006 in dish | 2 comments While my kids were browsing in the library the other day, I picked up the January 16 issue of Time to indulge in total schadenfreude over the Jack Abramoff scandal. I found an interesting bonus, though. The issue also included an extended “Mind and Body” section (obligatory, what with New Year’s Resolutions and all) that included a real gem: “Making the Most of Your...
