- Judging people. I know there are those who think judging people is bad. I judge them as wrong. Also, I don't care what they think because I know they won't judge me.
- Talking to myself. If you see me in my car and my lips are moving, please know that do not own a Bluetooth device.
- Social media spying (NEW!). When the girls lived at home, I spied on them using traditional methods (secretly watching them from a window, reading notes found in pockets on laundry day, emailing their teachers, posing as a caring mother who "just wants to help you clean your room"). Now that they're gone, I'm forced to scour Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for clues. By the way, email me if you have anything good to share.
- Ignoring email from PETA, the Sierra Club, Move On, Organizing for Action, SumOfUs and the Human Rights Campaign. If you guys want me to read a message from you, send it from J.Crew with subject "Sale." See below for more information.
- Late-night online shopping. Do I really need the Jackie Cardigan in Winter Frost (aka white)? No. But it originally cost $78 and now it's down to $38. So it's like $40 in my pocket. Economics, people.
- Nagging the dog (NEW!). Without my constant reminders about homework, test dates, application deadlines and letters of recommendation, Beanie will never get into his first-choice college.
- Amateur meteorology (NEW!). I have become somewhat obsessed about the weather in Chicago and New York. I do my research (weather app on my phone) and work hard to provide forecast information to the citizens of Chicago and New York via text messages to Lily and Rose ("Are you wearing a coat? It's going to be COLD today!")
