I’m sorry. I’m at my dad’s place in Ventura County and we’re talking about Obama vs. Clinton. My dad’s useful insight was, “a broad shouldn’t be in office.” So, my brain exploded and I have nothing left with which to write a blog post. So here’s something from a few years ago. …Continue Reading

I Just Had To Tell You
I was looking through Ye Olde Blog, and for kicks, thought I’d see what I wrote 5 years ago this month. So here it is! Oh my gosh, I was so awesome. Much like now. ****************************************** (originally posted March 29, 2003) Apparently I used to make lists a lot when I was…Continue Reading
7 Random Confessions
Damn you Matter of Fact Mommy; you and your exciting life, you and your saucy confessions, you and your excitement. And, well thank you too, because I really tanked out of ideas today and your tag saved me. Plus, I didn’t really mean “damn you,” more like a “Darn you,” but you better cap…Continue Reading
It’s Hard, But Also Soft (Alt. Title: Oh Lord, What Will Google AdSense Make of That?)
Marriage isn’t easy; especially mine. But for the first year The Rock and I were together, our relationship has been challenging. We both like to be right, for instance, which can ruin some marriages, and we don’t fight well. We tend to get wrapped around the axle and focus on stupid extraneous stuff, and…Continue Reading
Like Medusa, But With Mucous.
Don’t look directly into the eyes of “Booger the Terrible, Jr., the II, Esq.” For if you do, you will begin to spout snot. It started with my baby. She of the perpetual snot geyser. Then, it migrated to my husband, me, and finally, my oldest (above, you can see Toots trying to manually…Continue Reading
Preschool Follies
I’m not competitive, I’m just not. A fire burns in me to be the best I can and I do like to win Trivial Pursuit or Balderdash, but I’ve never felt the itch to have the biggest house, enter my kids in the best schools or drive the shiniest car (actually, no danger of…Continue Reading
This Is Gonna Go Platinum
Today, I came across notes for a middle grade book I planned to write many years ago. I’ve since adapted it into something else, although the current draft still contains overtones of this early summary. Please don’t get all jealous when I post some of it here. You can write, too. But we can’t…Continue Reading

The Spiderick Chronicles
Spiders suck. Spiders crawl on you, look funny, and lurk in corners. Plus, I’ve seen several of them jump. J-u-m-p. Onto people. And cattle, which they then eat whole. I grew up in Illinois. I saw it. I do not like spiders, but I try to be as nice to them as possible. When…Continue Reading
Epilogue***
All is quiet on the western front. The laundry’s folded. The Ring of Tam Tam rests comfortably atop a vial of pixie dust, surrounded by the protective Ma-Nu necklace. There was a struggle, I’m not going to lie to you, gentle readers. Spoorie proved formidable. But now,…Continue Reading
Soul Soothers
And so what soothes the soul after the pounding, the wounding, the surrounding? What opens it, spills it, lays it down Who lets it in, says just stay here or fly, it’s up to you And at last the fluttering, the humming, the dance It stops, for an eon, a second A butterfly cocooned, not…Continue Reading
BeautyPalooza
Here’s the thing. I’ve always, always, always been insecure about my looks. And not just my looks, but everything, including my ability to do anything, and just about everything else. BUT, we’re talking about appearances now. So let me drive home the point in short, but effective words and phrases: Insecure. Think I’m Not…Continue Reading
