Hi kids. As you know, the linkoramas are my cheat posts. I do them when I don’t have time or energy to write. Today, it’s my husband’s fault.

Let me just ask you something. You go a mall. You lose your wife (actually, you wander off) and you don’t have your phone on you. Do you….

a) Wait in front of the last store you were in together?

b) Have her paged or listen for a page with your name?

c) Borrow a phone or use a pay phone?

d) Go back to the car and wait?

e) Continue to shop?

If you answered “e”, you’re a muttonhead just like my  husband. Needless to say, I spent my entire afternoon running from points A to E. No time to write a post when I got home last night and I’ve got too much catching up to do this morning.

So sorry…enjoy these other fine blogs.

Hancock Street, Bed Stuy. Examiner

Writer Suzanne (*my buddy) Spellen  explores Hancock Street in her old neighborhood of Bed Stuy. She now lives across the border (of Atlantic Ave) in Crown Heights. Many of these homes were designed by famed 19th century architect Montrose Morris. Gorgeous, no? I live right around the corner, but alas, I have a simple brownstone. Feh.

Hamptons Rental Deals. Casa Cara

Cara explains how you to get more bang for your buck in the Hamptons. Lemme add to this with a little story of my own. My cousins recently purchased a home in South Hampton. Huge house (like I got lost in it, huge), 5 acres, tennis court and pool…new construction that the builder couldn’t unload. Ok, it wasn’t under a million, but they did get a million off ask! Point is, buying or renting…the second home market is hurting and there are deals galore.

Buying Girlie Things. Renovation Therapy

Jean finds a bunch of stuff for cheap. I’m totally jealous she got to go thrifting but they are girlie things I wouldn’t know how to use anyway, so there. A mixer. A sewing machine. What do you do with those things?

$27,900 House. Newburgh Restoration

Cute 100+ year old brick house an hour away from NYC. Under $30k. Seriously! No joke! It’s in need of restoration (no duh), but if you buy it you can start your own restoration blog. I kind of have a soft spot for Newburgh. Old row houses. On the water. Did I mention it’s an hour away from NYC?
