Will write for yarn.
I know I just did a whole spiel on why I won’t become one of those product-reviewing mommy bloggers, but immediately afterward I got hit with some sweet propositions that I just couldn’t pass up. So for the next few weeks, while I get some real writing done, I will be posting reviews. I [...]
Facebook is convincing me that we are at the end of any possible advancement as a species.
Take the “We’re Related” application.
Essentially, you can add your relatives, who then add theirs, etc., so you can see exactly why that nephew of yours is a little off, what with his parents being second cousins and everything.
I once [...]
I keep hearing this term “mommy blogger” bandied about lately, and it makes my breasts want to shrivel up and hide. Mommy. Blogger.
And probably many of the writers out there who blog and are moms kind of feel the same way – it sounds so vacuous, like the empty womb my super-sized children vacated.
But apparently, [...]
I’ve heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. This idea was popularized by Hillary Clinton when she named her world domination plan book after the idea, ostensibly an African proverb. While there is some argument about the origin of the phrase, it is in close keeping with many cultural ideas [...]
Stardate June 4, 2009. Day 3 in captivity.
Wait a minute. Is it day three, really? Those hours in the trunk of the Pacer really threw me.
My treatement at the hands of this dastardly duo has been moderately taxing. They tried to feed me a Big Mac, which everyone knows is the most disgusting creation ever [...]

Somehow I came across this delightful site the other day, and I sat transfixed while clicking on photos of celebrities before and after Photoshopping them into fantasy land. Just click on Portfolio, then on each photo. When it pops up, it’s retouched [...]
I have been picked on by some “people” lately about some songs I posted that may or may not be devoid of musical value.
I gotta say, I’m not terribly impressed by someone who feels the need to point out the weaknesses in someone else’s tastes. Intimidated, perhaps, but not impressed.
It’s like saying you love the [...]
I dropped my son Ethan at preschool the other day and noticed a sign for their summer camps. Thinking, okay, maybe I can justify sending him for one week so I can get geared up for homeschooling this fall and OMG he will be home ALL. THE. TIME.
Each week has a different theme. The first [...]

It is Therapy Thursday, after all, and I have bills to pay. All this psychological help isn’t free.
