Really? The Sex and the City Guy?
Have you read the Memory of Running? You should. Then, please tell me who the author played in Sex and the City. It wasn’t the senator, right?
Learning to Forgive Update #3
This is part 3 from my Road to Oprah series. (I was inspired by my dream last night). This is part 1. And part 2. I’ve been avoiding this. There’s way more to work through than I originally thought. Because I started with my mom. And that’s the hardest person to forgive.…Continue Reading
Ask. And You Shall Receive.
Straight from my dream brain to you. I really wanted to blog last night. But I drew a blank, so I began to talk about mucous again, which happens when I’m nervous. I fortunately threw that post to the curb and took to a fitful sleep. The Universe must have taken pity…Continue Reading
Hhhhaiku! God Bless You.
Despite the above, I don’t think you should vote for me. Vote for the haikus you like best. Because I’m OK with not being the best. Although it’s a lot of fun when I am. You know, I had a rough childhood. Always feeling like second best. Never really being…Continue Reading
5 3 Things I Can Do Now to Be a Better Mom
Oh, I talk a good game. In conversations with friends, teachers, and family, I focus on the wholesome, positive things I do as a mom, but the truth is, I can do better. This isn’t a putdown. It’s the truth. I know I’m not doing my best. As my daughter told me the…Continue Reading
Dora’s World Adventure CD
I don’t know, I kind of have a licensed character aversion. My brother has it, too, and refuses to dress his son in clothes with any trace of Bob the Builder or Thomas, preferring instead those drab, uniformy-looking kid’s clothes you get when you shop in Asia. Not that there’s anything wrong with…Continue Reading

End of An Era
My daughter turned 4 today and overnight things changed. It’s funny how you say something to your kid, something unthinking, something you don’t even remember saying, and they take it and run with it, refer to it often and make it their mantra. As a passing comment yesterday, I said, “Now that you’re…Continue Reading
The Monkey On My Back Dances, Continued
Part 1 of my gripping “I Suffer From Anxiety” series. And Part II. So in my endeavor to better understand my anxiety and hopefully find ways to cope with it, I recently visited a kinesthesiologist. I’d heard great things about this guy from a vegan/Zen/meditative/very non-anxious friend of The Rocks’ who’d been going to…Continue Reading
Haiku Fridays
Not really, but that wouldn’t that be cool: every Friday designated “Haiku Day?” And the banks would be closed and the post office and schools and daycare and what am I, crazy? In related news, I’m entering a haiku contest held over at My Mommy’s Place and am posting my submissions here. There’s all…Continue Reading
Crapfty Mom
I hate being a pussy mom. I want to be the rocker mom who grooves to the beat of her own drum, not caring what people think, no, just experiencing that joie de vivre and living, man, just living! You know? No? Oh man, why you gotta be like that? Yesterday, my…Continue Reading
