San Diego Momma

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

Etcetera

What Now?

  We were headed to the mall. The girls had the day off school and I’d given in to their repeated requests to “get a frozen yogurt and window shop,” even when I knew full well we’d end up with greasy food court fare and bags from Justice.   I mean, I’m human. Sometimes I…Continue Reading

The Ghost Story

I first sensed something odd Memorial Day weekend. It was Sunday, and The Rock and the kids spent the day at a friend’s picnic while I caught up on work at home. Around five or so, I put the computer away and collapsed on the couch to clear my head. I’m not sure what first…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #217: The Last Thing

Ready for today’s writing prompt? It’s easy and selfish: Oh Target, where would I be without ye?   What’s the last thing you bought for your home or apartment? Was it a picture? A pillow? What prompted the purchase? Were you having a CAbi party and didn’t want to be embarrassed by your dead and…Continue Reading

Heading In

  I’ve found it hard to write here lately, or actually, write and publish. People haven’t noticed, or perhaps they have, as when I visited a psychic several months ago, she seemed to pick up”creative” silence, telling me that I’ve shut down my voice and desperately needed to open it again, suggesting I wear a…Continue Reading

Menopause, Take 44!

Re-posting because it’s as true now as it was last month. And last year(s). And WHEN WILL IT JUST HAPPEN ALREADY?!   10 Signs You’re Approaching Menopause   1. Your boobs are 34C, your hips are 3.14 Pi.   2. Your upper lip is a Chia Pet.   3. Alaska hires your body to melt…Continue Reading

The Eight Questions Meme

Have you done PROMPTuesday yet? If not, here you go! May my exciting and scintillating prompt responses inspire you. (Just don’t get all “wanting to be exactly like me” on my butt.)   1. What were you doing 10 years ago?     I was working at a manufacturing company as a PR specialist, and…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #215: ME-ME

  Memes used to be huge, remember them? Back in 2008 when I was newly San Diego Momma, they circulated around the Internet like bloggy wildfire and if you weren’t “tagged,” you felt like a failure.   Happily, Heather at ThetaMom and Elaine at Miss Elaine-ous Life are resurrecting the “Eight Questions” meme that was…Continue Reading

Saving for College with My New Friend, ScholarShare

This post is about saving for college and may be a little more panicked than usual because I just found out my health insurance premiums went up $100 and HOW DOES ANYONE OF NORMAL INCOME LIVE IN CALIFORNIA?   So then NOW we’re supposed to put money away for our kids’ college?   It’s all…Continue Reading

A Writer’s Dream

  You put your pen down.   The windows give signs, but you forget to look for days that become rings on trees. There are desperate drives to clear the fog; and where you strain to see striated rock and cavern vistas that portend of vastness and peas under the mattress. You are the pea…Continue Reading

UPDATED! Escape From Planet Earth Giveaway: Or, Please Enjoy This $25 Movie Gift Card

  Laurie Ann won!     Look for your email Laurie!     I so clearly remember the first movie I ever saw: It was “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” and Queen of the Rosary School administrators showed it to all first graders in the white-and-red-speckle-floored gymnasium during snow day (there were a lot of those in…Continue Reading

The BlogTHAT Scene

OK, here it is: a scene from the comedy web series I’ve been writing for…a year? ever? SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME YOU LIKE IT! I know that last part wasn’t a time reference.   The thing about being creative is that eventually you have to “ship” your work and the putting it out there is…Continue Reading

Workout “Gear”

Although my foray into losing pounds hath forsaken me, I thought I’d at least share some helpful things I discovered while on my pointless diet-and-exercise journey to nowhere.   Maybe they’ll work for some of you.   I’ll just sit here and expand further into butt oblivion while you read.   Nuun U Natural Hydration…Continue Reading
