My haiku won in the humor category over at My Mommys Place. It’s a great site. Their haiku contest is fun. Maybe they’ll have another one someday. But better you don’t enter. I’ll just win again and then you’ll feel real bad. Don’t do that to yourself. You’ve got enough to worry about. …Continue Reading

I Knew Better
…than to open the e-mail titled “With Tremendous Force and Volume.”
Eating Well
I’m sorry. I’m using this photo again. It’s from about 4 years ago, so maybe you will mistake my youthful radiance for health. In July of last year, I decided to eat better. And because I can’t do anything in moderation, my eating better looked like this: no white sugar, no white flour, no…Continue Reading
The Anticipation Must Hurt Something Awful
There’s a new Momma Love “review” up. Cuz I know you (friend in Tulsa) were waiting.
Moomerie
So in college, my friends and I said “flocking,” instead of the other word. Everything became, “she’s so flocking annoying,” and “what the flock?!?,” and “flock you!” Then Halloween came and we (there were at least 7 of us) dressed up as a flock of cows. We wore black garbage bags and taped…Continue Reading
Shoo, Flu
I am bonkers for this stuff. I believe that I associate the smell of it with childhood, which brings good tidings. It’s got a beautiful eucalyptus smell that reminds me of the Vick’s VapoRub my dad used to use on us kids. For everything. Seriously. Loose tooth? Vicks. First period? Vicks. Herpes Simplex A?…Continue Reading
Thank God The Writers Are Back
Did you see this on SNL Saturday night? Please note that the video has adult content! And as such is very adulty in nature. No dirty stuff, just grown-up, possibly offensive, but hilarious, humor. Again! You may be offended by this! But only if you’ve never had a period. Now if you’ll…Continue Reading
Sunday’s Playlist: I Wish I Were Cool
This one is completely dominated by the artist we heard play last night. And how about this? Please list in an e-mail or in comments or in your blog (just leave me the link) three songs you can’t live without (for now). It can be songs you’ve just discovered, or songs you’ve loved long…Continue Reading
Info Slurp
Is there a software or technology out there which allows people in your general vicinity to see what you are doing/writing on your computer? Like a Google Earth but with computers? Where people can zone in on you and see your computer screen on theirs? I hope not.
Riffing
I have this annoying habit, one I didn’t know what to call before, although I knew it needed a name, a slogan, a tagline. Something catchy and inspiring. Finally, a few months ago a friend called it “Going Geico™,” and nothing could more perfectly sum it up. So what I do is I…Continue Reading
The Routine
Today we’re off to a Peter Pan-themed birthday party, where Toots and Booger will wear Sleeping Beauty costumes. Those Disney characters, they’re all friends, right? After that, it’s a quick ride home, a nap send-off and a quick getaway to a house concert our friends are hosting. Chris Trapper will be there, playing the…Continue Reading
He Ain’t Heavy (But Yes He Is)
Thanks to my brother for this link. It’s a poem from the New Yorker. Here’s a poem my brother wrote. I like it too. p.s. To see my bro’s poem, go to this link, click on Scribble, then on the photo with the red-shaded lamp. You’ll be glad you did.
