Guest poster, Da Goddess, was my first blog friend WAY BACK in 2002. I was just six months into the blog that won’t be named and I reached out to her for support and advice. She adopted me right away, unselfishly sharing links, help, companionship, anything I needed to make me feel more welcome. The…Continue Reading

Baby, it’s cold inside.
What can I say about Mommy Pie that you haven’t already heard me go on and on about? Let’s see. I love her? No. I’ve said that before. Hmmm…She’s my psychic twin? Also, probably heard me say that. Gosh, I’m running out of glowing new commentary. Let me leave it at this: Mommy Pie was…Continue Reading
Here I Go
OK, I’m leaving for New York in less than 10 hours. Would you all think happy thoughts for me and say a prayer or two? I’ll tweet my safe (I hope! I hope! I hope!) arrival… p.s. Some fabulous guest posters are lined up during my absence. Can’t wait for you to read…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #26: And We Shall Prevail
In light of my upcoming trip this Wednesday, today’s PROMPT is short and sweet (and selfish). Can you tell me a story of a fear you’ve overcome? Fiction is of course, welcome. As are poems. Or one-liners. In fact, anything goes. Anything. Go! (And thank you.)
The Mouse Does It Again
I don’t care who you are, when you watch your kids light up at Disneyland, your black heart is sure to turn gray, and if you’re lucky, it might go completely pink on you. I didn’t really feel like fighting crowds, to be honest, or waiting in lines, or missing nap times, or…Continue Reading
Happiest Place on Earth
Good. That ought to help. (You’ll never guess where we’re going tomorrow.)
So Sue Me
Hi. I’m drunk. Sorry, but that’s just the way it’s gotta be until next Wednesday. Which is the day I board my plane to New York. I tried to hard to vlog today because I’m pretty much unable to write, think, drive, eat, sleep these days and I really wanted you to see the…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #25: The Wine’s Drunk, But the Memories Remain
Would you guys bear with me for a few more weeks? I’m sucking, I know. It’s just that I’ve been so busy. (And you know, panicked.) Annnnyyywayyy. Here’s the thing. My mom used to collect wine corks from dinners or parties with friends, which she’d ask everyone at the dinner or party to…Continue Reading
In the Hopper
Well it’s 6:30AM, which these days is the best time for me to blog. Toots lays in our bed, after having a nightmare, Booger is sleeping off her temper tantrum, and The Rock is showering downstairs (and he’d better bring the razor up this time.) My phone rang a few short minutes ago, and…Continue Reading
What’s Missing Today
We talked at breakfast, arguing politics, healthcare, the economy. Dozens of people nursed coffees, poked their eggs, and gazed out the window at the water. Families waiting for a seat paced outside, while the hostess scribbled name after name. Kids ran between their parents’ legs, teen-agers smoked, uncles sighed, ailing mothers whimpered, bums curled in…Continue Reading
