Facing another fear

March 4, 2012 By Mona Andrei Leave a Comment

I’m going to Florida tomorrow and have to admit: I can’t wait! Of course, the fact that Greg isn’t coming is very, very sad (the extra “very” is in case he reads this post) but the truth is that I’ll be working throughout the week anyway. If you follow this blog you know that during [...]

How I know when I’m about to procrastinate

March 3, 2012 By Mona Andrei 4 Comments

If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would ever get done! Steven Pressfield wrote a book just for me: “The War of Art”. Never mind that he doesn’t know who I am. The book talks about resistance and since I’m the queen of procrastination, I’m grateful for his attempt to reach out and intervene. [...]

The lamest case against social media EVER

February 22, 2012 By Mona Andrei 1 Comment

Sub-title: We’re different. And that’s why we love each other While many of us would rather do without our earlobes than give up Tweeting, every once in a while I can’t help but face the fact that there are stragglers among us; people who will fight to the end before admitting to the efficiencies of [...]

Can we talk about the hamster for a minute?

January 26, 2012 By Mona Andrei 2 Comments

As many of you know, sleeping is the one thing that I’m not very good at. There are actually PLENTY of things that I’m not good at but I just ignore those. Sleep, however, is hard to ignore. So what do I do when I can’t sleep? Mostly, I lie in bed and think about [...]

Taxi hailing adventures in New York City

January 18, 2012 By Mona Andrei Leave a Comment

OMG mes amis, I have so much to tell you about New York. I’ll start with this: the only thing missing is Greg. And I’m not just saying that to make him feel better about not being here. We – as in “us together” – would have such a blast here. Which is why we’ve [...]

Because saying things out loud helps resolve the problem

A personification of my relationship with my house

At the risk of sounding completely delusional, my house is not happy. And when I say “not happy”, I don’t mean in a sad kind of way. I’m talking about that hairy-eyeball-look-you-get-from-your-dad kind of not happy. The kind he stares you down with because you’re seven and you just gave him the finger. Only you [...]

Maybe I should retire from parenthood

January 11, 2012 By Mona Andrei Leave a Comment

T’was the night before tomorrow, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Until . . . “Mom did you know that mascara is made out of bat poop?” THIS is what my kids think about after I tuck them in at night???

This is not a real post

January 6, 2012 By Mona Andrei 1 Comment

This is a pretend post. Partly because I know that it won’t fit on Twitter but mostly because I’m pretty sure that if my Facebook friends hear me talk about my new iPhone one more time, they’ll unfriend me. And when I say my Facebook friends, I’m including my kids – even though it took [...]

Happy New Year and a story about my biggest accomplishment of 2011

January 4, 2012 By Mona Andrei 1 Comment

Well it’s January 4th and like most people, I love a new year! In fact, I love it so much that at around 8:30 on New Year’s Eve, while everyone around me was getting lost in their slurred declarations of non-life changing silliness, I was thinking about what I can do to bring in the [...]

Can you say DYSLEXIA?

November 19, 2011 By Mona Andrei Leave a Comment

So in order to demonstrate his undying love for me, Greg, er, I mean my FIANCE, decided to join me in Florida. And no. His decision has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the harsh signs of winter have fallen upon us back home. And that Florida is sunny and warm. His travel [...]
