I went out on a first (and last) date once with a cop. It was an online thing, and based on his picture, I wasn’t all that enthused. But I went…and then interacting with him face to face, I was even less enthused.
It wasn’t just that I wasn’t attracted to him. There was also the […]
Interesting NYT article on how Clinton supporters are coming around…slowly.
Here’s a quote from the litterbox article:
The hard-core Hillary supporters have certainly not yet achieved total unification bliss. Perhaps it’s just that their heroine hasn’t had a chance yet to reprogram each one individually. (“Repeat after me: ‘This will all work out.’ And let me hear […]
Summertime…and I’m not blogging much these days. The kids are in camp mode this week, which means I’m in chaffeur mode. I’m also in de-cluttering mode and making real progress. In addition to clearing away physical cluter, I’ve also been chipping away at the perpetual, mile-long to-do list that I’ve been schlepping […]
I received an unsolicited book in the mail today. National Sunday Law is apparently a Seventh Day Adventist publication. I read online that others have received it too, so I don’t feel chosen or anything. The Amazon reviews are interesting.
Don’t these folks know that organized religion all by its lonesome gets people’s […]
“Bad Education offers up nothing as pat and comfortable as redemption; by design, it is a dark and largely pessimistic film. And yet, the film’s epilogue tells us that Enrique continues to make films with the ”same passion.” May art and spirit always prevail similarly in the face of evil.”
I wrote that?
This was […]
So last night, a gazillion years after the fad first surfaced, I gave karaoke a shot.
Yesterday afternoon, Tech Boo and I decided to throw a karaoke party at his place during early summer while his mom is in town. Grown-ups only, soul food, drinks…a good old-fashioned house party. We wrote the evite in […]
1. Spring
2. My neighborhood.
Is it just me, or is this the springest spring that ever sprung? It’s such a nice spring, it’s got me writing corny sentences like the preceding one. That’s some spring. Growing up in Florida, I never gave much thought to seasons. But now, living in PA and having children for whom […]
I worked on my novel this morning.
Now, for a writer, that’s generally not a profound statement. However, for someone like me who is in a constant, quiet frenzy juggling freelance assignments with due dates and not much pay, housework, mama-work, volunteering, more housework, more mama-work, and a novel and non-fiction book projects that might pay […]
I think I mentioned in another post recently that mothering is wearing me out. Now, let me dispense with the usual caveats: I have great kids. Smart, beautiful, kind-hearted, loving kids. I love them with everything I have, and I am extraordinarily blessed to be their mother. And my parenting […]
I don’t write my deep dark secrets here on this blog, but I still have to be mindful of my ever-aging and online-reading offspring…and, now, mindful of potential employers, as well. There’s nothing I write that I’m ashamed of, nor do I misrepresent myself here or In Real Life. However, instinct tells me […]
