Will write for yarn.
This is an open letter to teenagers. I know they won’t read it. And if they do, they probably won’t really get it for a while yet. But maybe if I put something incendiary in here, it will capture their attention just long enough to lodge in their brains and be remembered at some later [...]
I’m going to take you back to an earlier time in my life, a time before I committed to buying coffee only from local shops.
I used to stop every other day occasionally at a particular Starbucks in my town, specifically the one on Wards Road in Lynchburg. It wasn’t really in my neighborhood, but it [...]
I was in my neighbor’s house the other day when she came home. She walked in with all her groceries and was all like, “Uh, what? What are you doing in here?”
And I was all, “Well, I like your house better than mine, and I noticed you were gone, so I thought I’d play here [...]
You might know a boy who seems like trouble, who drives wrecklessly and punches walls.
You might know a girl who thinks she is too fat, or too awkward, or too uncool, and it bothers her more than you think is realistic.
You might know a man who drinks like a frat boy though he’s ten years [...]
As I am prone to do now and again, I’m going to break character here and post something serious.
I’m going to tell you something incredibly embarrassing in order to make a point. And I hope the point leaves you so affected, you’ll forget all about the incident that prompted this little lesson.
We have a rat. [...]
I have an odd assortment of friends and acquaintances, and it is ever more apparent to me as I read the variety of posts from friends on Twitter and Facebook.
I have attachment parenting friends, cloth diapering friends, Christian friends, liberal friends, libertarian friends, far right wing friends and far out friends. Some are republican, some [...]

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 had a few (relatively) quiet minutes the other morning, so I clicked around trying to catch up on my blog reading.
BIG mistake.
First, I learned about “the neg.” Didn’t that used to be called something like “Pride and Prejudice?” And then it morphed into the “bad boy appeal,” then became “codependency,” right? How delightful to [...]
I got an unexpected call yesterday from a parent of one of my daughter’s friends. He didn’t realize he knew me at first, he was so absorbed in his purpose. It seems the city where I live has a zero tolerance drug policy in its schools, which means if a student commits a drug offense, [...]
I recycle! Yes, I do. In fact, you might say I have a bit of a problem.
I’ve have been asked, and answered with complete seriousness, the question, “Are you keeping this dryer lint for a project?”
I won’t tell you how I answered.
It all started with using wool as a cloth diaper cover. It worked so [...]
