Into The Worm Hole
Most Sundays I take the girls to the library. It’s an unexpected day for the library to be open, so it’s often empty and uncrowded. Usually, we start our excursion with a coffee/smoothie/chocolate milk pick-up, then make it to the library when it opens at 1. Sometimes, we wait outside on the lawn in the…Continue Reading
Figaro! Figaro!
Today is Opera Day for San Diego Momma. I do not know why. But it came to me in a dream and I don’t like to mess with my higher consciousness. So…. (***tuning up****) la la la la la la la***** ****do re mi fa so la ti do***** ***tru tru tru***** Nah.…Continue Reading
BlogHer? La La La La La I Can’t Hear You!
Don’t mind me! I’m just hurriedly preparing for all the other things I’ll be doing this weekend instead of BlogHer. I’ve got BlogHerNot 2008: The Revolution, and BitchHer 2008: The Devolution, and all kinds of things in between. Like shopping for a bathing suit that is not Gap, circa 1995 (the last…Continue Reading
The Five Stages of Blogging
Please note that the below represents my perspective and is not reflective of any well-adjusted, unmedicated bloggers out there. I call this piece, The Arc of a Blogger Stage 1: Denial Examples – “I can live perfectly well without my blog. It has not consumed my life. I do not live each day…Continue Reading
Window Into the Soul
So Myra at We Make Three does this incredibly cool segment called Mixtape Mondays, where she picks a blogger and asks them to share some of the songs they’ve got on their iPod. And this Monday, she asked me to do it… So in honor of Mixtape Monday, I’d like to share the titles…Continue Reading
My Home “Office”
Today, I’m participating in Manager Mom’s “Open Your Office” Blogoopalooza, which asks bloggers to let readers into their office, where all the blog addiction writing happens. So to that end, I’m posting a few photos of my inner sanctum, my special place, my out-of-the-way retreat located smack dab at the… kitchen table.…Continue Reading
Banner Day
One day last June, I wrote a post about things I like. Kind of like Oprah, but with way less mass appeal and melanin. In particular, I liked this necklace: And I threatened to pretty much dismember anybody who bought it (“now you have no neck! mwah ha ha! how you gonna…Continue Reading
Mrs. Bojangles
I’m quite unable to complete thoughts today. Also, yesterday. Not sure why, but I’m flat-out ill-equipped to connect subject matter or compose sensical paragraphs. It’s as if my brain waves are spiking and dipping and each time I try to catch one in my net, it flutters away. Thus, I did not complete yesterday’s prompt…and…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #12: The Guest Hostess
So my friend The Cocktail Maven, book clubber extraordinaire and creator of the ever popular “Cocktails in Historic Places” group, e-mailed me with the news that PROMPTuesdays inspired her to complete a 2,000-word short story. And I was pleased. So pleasured was I that I thought she should create this week’s PROMPTuesday prompt.…Continue Reading
Write Something, Anything!
So I will. Turns out we enjoyed a pretty eventful week around here. Not really on the Fourth of July front, which mainly involved fending off pot smoke, errant marshmallows, and a high tide, but the rest of the time? Pretty much a lot going on. It started Wednesday night. We ambitiously took…Continue Reading
Happy Fourth of July!
Imprints of youth: Stretched out on a blanket, stomach packed with homemade ice cream, holding my breath as silver sprinkles explode, dropping tentacle by tentacle into the horizon. Watching fireflies dodge between sparklers, hearing the distant shouts of other neighborhood children, whooping with delight in answer to their parents’ murmured caution. Red…Continue Reading
