Greetings, Cool Peeps: When I was a sophomore in high school, a classmate of mine enthusiastically called me on the phone one Friday night, “Hey, Molly, what are you doing this Saturday night?” “Nothing,” I said, thinking I was about to be invited to a party or get-together.” “Awesome,” she said. “Then will you babysit […]

Greetings, Cool Peeps: Everyone knows the adage, “A place for everything, and everything in its place,” right? In theory, that’s really super advice. If I could implement it, I would never have to sort through stuff, never deal with clutter in my closets or my desk, and just live in a perfectly ordered world. Yeah, […]

Greetings, Cool Peeps! Can we have a moment of quiet? I’m listening to something: “Me, me, me, me, me!” Is that an opera singer warming up or a narcissist talking? Doesn’t it seem that, more and more, we live in an it’s-all-about-me world? Recently, my friend Tony was telling me about his friend Ian, who […]

Greetings, Cool Peeps: This week I’ve got a few words to say about snoops. You know, the nosy folks who are always in everyone else’s business, asking inappropriate questions and focusing their prying eyes where they shouldn’t be.

Greetings, Cool Peeps: This week’s blog isn’t about what you do after a fight with your loved one (kiss and make up) but rather about kissing and makeup. Before I was at the age that I ever kissed anyone (except in my daydreams), I did, of course, ponder the act of kissing from all angles, […]

Greetings, Cool Peeps: This week, I’m here to talk about germs. No, not the ones I have dated, but the kind that are ubiquitous and invisible. The kind that make us sick. I’m not quite OCD crazy like Howie Mandel is, but some days, I come close. Like Howie, I do freak out when I […]

Greetings, Cool Peeps: Aren’t sun umbrellas, or parasols if you will, lovely? They’re so feminine and quaint. Some are works of art in themselves, while some are painted in works of art. Like this famous painting by Georges Seurat. I’m a big advocate of using sunscreen. My moisturizer has SPF in it, and I do […]

Greetings, Cool Peeps: While many people color me picky, I think of being picky as being aware of the world around me. I not only pay attention to the actions and habits of fellow human beings, especially those in my orbit, but also think a lot about this crazy kaleidoscopic world we live in and […]

Greetings, Cool Peeps: I like to tell it like it is. Of course, my truth might not be the next person’s truth, but I try to be true to myself and to humanity in general. Okay, you say. What is she freakin’ talking about? Sorry, not trying to go philosophical on you. I’m just having […]
