Sharing some humor, a bit of writing and way too much information

Today?

I am over at The Smartly with an essay I originally began writing a year or so ago. In other news, The Smartly is just that.  

The Help

I navigated my Suburban into the store’s parking lot and slowed as the man in spandex workout shorts flagged me down.   I rolled my window down and waited.   “Hi mayam, Ah have my baby in the truck and mah battery is dead. Can ya’ll help meh?”   I didn’t see a baby, but…Continue Reading

Donkey Legs and All

    Holy stubborn donkey gams. She has a point.   I’m one of those parents who don’t use “cutesy” words to describe biological functions or private parts. God bless you if you call pee, “tinkle,” or a penis, “a wee wee,” but I just can’t stand it. I even have a hard time saying…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #129: Your First Crush

Do you remember him or her? I do — to a T and completely.   I was a fourth grader at a Foster City, California public school that was a little Montessori and a little rock and roll. Our hippy dippy principal made sure we took music class every week with Dennis, a friendly pothead…Continue Reading

Your Guide to Giving Up Wine

Let’s say you haven’t had your nightly glass of wine for five evenings in a row. And let’s say your insides look a little like this:     +     +     And then let’s go so far as to add that you’re melodramatic, self-pitying, and histrionic. What do you do?   Allow…Continue Reading

A Request From My Soul

Do you suppose you might do me a favor?   Leave me your favorite inspirational quote or link to a beautiful song or poem or picture or something else lovely?   I would so appreciate it.   To be trite.   But I really would.   Meanwhile, this is for you:     Alternatively, if…Continue Reading

Surrender

I don’t know much about surrendering. I recall about 10 years ago, before a trip to Hawaii, I visited a hypnotherapist to help me conquer my fear of flying, and I didn’t get much out of it. I just couldn’t let go. As she counted me down to a more relaxed state, my mind refused…Continue Reading

An Idterlude

Hi Ladies and Gents!   It’s San Diego Momma’s id. It’s come to my attention that she’s fresh out of inventive, refreshing blog posts. She’s got nothing to write about! This has to change. With the elections coming up tomorrow, it’s important that I take a stand for forgetful, overwrought mothers everywhere! Let’s join together…Continue Reading

This Weekend

    Classroom parties, kitty cats, candy in the pot   Liar’s Dice, haunted house, never in one spot   Funeral day, a little late, priest not so glad   Packed between some mean old ladies, eulogy was sad   Pumpkin carving, forgot the chips, last minute run   Firepit, food a-plenty, against a setting…Continue Reading

Frills

  If I had these lashes, I would be happy. Boisterous even!   Boy is there a lot going on with me right now. Boiling, toiling, embroiling, a lot. So true to form, I am going to go fluffy. Because it distracts me from the heavy stuff and I’m nothing else but avoidant.   The…Continue Reading

Funnest birthday/holiday celebration yesterday! Vi Funnest birthday/holiday celebration yesterday! Visited Del Mar’s shops, businesses, restaurants and bars for the Village’s annual Taste and Sip with closest pals. Highlights: learning about Mezcal at @enfuegocantina, sampling new @lalospirits tequila, catching the sunset at @monarchdelmar, amazing ceviche at @coya_peruvian_secret, and the most delicious gluten-free birthday cake from @shanjo! Recommend this for next year - was the best best most good time.
